If everyone who had an affair was fired, unemployment would certainly be higher than 11%.

Steve Phillips infidelity has cost him his marriage and his job. Both he and Brooke Hundley were fired. They made spectacles of themselves and caused major embarrassment to ESPN.


There are several lessons to be learned.


Workplace affairs are never a good idea. At least 20 things can go wrong. http://bit.ly/2HNUIV


Cheating men, before you hop in bed, find out what kind of woman you are dealing with, and what she may be capable of doing if things dont go her way. It may change your mind about cheating on your wife. A disgruntled mistress can ruin your life. http://bit.ly/ctOyK


Wives, for the safety and well being of yourself and your children, if your husband has a mistress, do a background check on her to see what kind of person she is. http://bit.ly/NRmhn

Letterman wasn't married when he did this, and runs his own production. There's a few other things Letterman has that Steve Philips doesn't.

Steve is married, and had a well-publicized affair when he was with the Mets, as well. And ESPN has plenty of hosts, and people who can be hosts, that the loss of one talking head isn't that big a deal.

I don't think her appearance had a hand in how this played out. Letterman had a lot of good will built up. Philips, to put it mildly, did not.

Either way, I'm just glad Philips is gone. He was terrible.
