This is no pajamas blogger outfit here

I won't delve into the general ugliness of the Steve Phillips/ESPN story and Deadspin's maniacal (pathological?) obsession with the sports cable giant. Especially after it got scooped by the New York Post. But Nick Denton's defense of his blog empire's ethos is more troubling to me than anything else:

 

These rules, however, were written in an age when print outlets had time to consult their attorneys and deliberate the legal risks, and moral ethics, of publishing controversial stories. Daulerio says a Gawker lawyer did not look at his posts before he published them. In fact, Gawker founder Nick Denton recently sent a memo to his staff imploring them to act less like traditional media. "Let's check to see whether the associated claim is true," Denton wrote. "But we should publish anyway, making clear what we know to be true and what remains up in the air ... There's no way we're going to slow our publishing schedule to that of a ponderous newspaper-style organization, where everything has to go through layers of edit and approval and checking and legal ... At some media organizations, you might get rapped for running a premature story. At Gawker Media, you'll lose way more points for being scooped on a story you had in your hands."

No mention on the consequences if a "scoop" is wrong or information "up in the air" later turns out to be incorrect. Maybe he can explain everything away dismissively, with snark, as Denton is prone. But there are legal implications to ponder. And lives that can be, and have been, wrecked.

Both Phillips and the ESPN production assistant with whom he had an affair have been fired.

Sometimes it is better to not cheat.

"I May Only Be 22, But I'm Not Stupid"

ESPN loses another baseball analyst to scandal and infamy. First Harold Reynolds, now Steve Phillips:

ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips admits having an affair with an assistant at the cable network who taunted his wife with phone calls and a letter graphically describing their relationship, the New York Post reported Wednesday. After 22-year-old production assistant Brooke Hundley was dropped by Phillips, she made repeated phone calls to his wife, Marni, saying "We both can't have him," the newspaper reported, citing a Wilton, Conn., police report. "I have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my kids and myself," Phillips said in a statement to police. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said: "We were aware of this and have already taken appropriate action. We have no further comment." The 46-year-old Phillips is a former general manager of the New York Mets. Phillips admitted having sex with a team employee, who sued for sexual harassment. That case was settled out of court. In this latest incident, according to the cited police report, Phillips told police and his wife about the affair, which he said occurred this past summer. The newspaper also reported that Marni Phillips told police she had received "harassing phone calls and text messages" from a woman who claimed to have information about her husband. Phillips is being sued for divorce by his wife, the mother of their four sons, the Post reported.

Marriages come and go, but mistresses are forever. You can't get rid of them. You can't wish them away. You just have to eat the sammich life puts in front of you when you tell a girl in her twenties how much you love her in order to get her to do things in that hotel room, sir. Miss Hundley decided to destroy the man in print:
Brooke Hundley Letter -

 

The only thing left to do now is get a divorce and marry Miss Hundley and hope for the best, sir. It happened to me twice--twice I have had this done to me. Ex-wives three and four came to me just like this. The verbiage in the two letters each wrote to their predecessor, eh, perhaps a bit more literate. Perhaps a bit more about the excitement I brought to their lives and how I was destined for great things in the business world.

I'm always pleased when I see something scandalous come out of Bristol that doesn't have the words "Kenny Mayne" in them. Kenny, you're doing a great job. Ignore the haters. Everyone around you can keep doing stupid things and you'll be running things eventually. And, as always, I feel I have to say this. Remember, gentlemen--you don't have to keep it in your pants. If you do, you might avoid what poor Mr. Phillips is enduring today. But you can always nail the interns and the young girls who work around you--just don't whine about what happens to you.

Hey, I think I had a sports blog at one point...
