Baseball analyst Steve Phillips was fired by ESPN on the Sunday night, less than a week after he admitted having an affair with a production assistant at the cable network.

A representative for Phillips also announced the former Mets general manager was entering a treatment facility "to address his personal issues."

Phillips' acknowledgment Wednesday of his relationship with 22-year-old Brooke Hundley was splashed across the New York tabloids for days, embarrassing the Bristol, Conn.-based sports giant.

"Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN," network spokesman Josh Krulewitz said in a statement. "His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways."

Phillips had taken a leave of absence after the affair became public. Krulewitz declined comment when asked Sunday night about Hundley's status with the company.

Steve Lefkowitz, Phillips' representative, said in an e-mail that his client "is voluntarily admitting himself to an inpatient treatment facility to address his personal issues, and informed ESPN of his plans Friday."

According to a police report filed in Wilton, Conn., Hundley began calling Phillips' wife, Marni, on Aug. 5 after he broke off the affair and sent her a letter graphically describing their relationship and the 46-year-old Phillips' birthmarks.

Marni Phillips called police Aug. 19 when she came home to find Hundley in her driveway. "I knew instinctively that this was the woman Steve was involved with and I was terrified," she wrote in a statement to police.

Hundley also contacted Phillips' 16-year-old son through his Facebook account, according to the police report.

"This woman has clearly displayed erratic behavior and delusional tendencies," Steve Phillips said in a statement to police.

Phillips signed a statement to police that he would not press charges. The status of the police investigation was unclear Sunday. The report indicated a detective planned to interview Hundley this week when she returned from vacation.

Marni Phillips filed for divorce Sept. 14, according to court records.

In 1998, Steve Phillips admitted having sex with a Mets employee, who sued for sexual harassment. That case was settled out of court. Phillips was fired by the Mets in 2003.

Messages seeking comment were left Sunday for Phillips and Hundley.

ESPN has been troubled by a series of workplace issues involving alleged misconduct by its television personalities.

In 2006, baseball analyst Harold Reynolds was fired after a female intern complained about what he called a "brief and innocuous hug." Reynolds sued and settled with the network last year.

Last year, a judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by a makeup artist who accused hosts Jay Crawford and sports writer Woody Paige of groping and propositioning her on the set of the now-defunct show "Cold Pizza."

Brooke Hundley facilitates viewers through her Myspace and Facebook to learn who caused Steve Phillips a double blow, Commentator and analyst Steve Phillips lost the dream job with ESPN as well as his family.

16-year-old Brooke Hundley was a production assistant with the same network.

In the first place if you are living a happy married life at the age of 46 years, you should have been away from ‘troubles’ Steve! Secondly, had you had learnt from the past experiences, you should have foresighted that your acts are going to put your career on the stake.

The ESPN authorities sent Steve on a leave of absence as soon as the senior campaigner considered it appropriate to open up about a dirty-secret before his superiors. Whereas the network considered it appropriate to ‘determine his future in the light of facts he revealed.

In other words we can say that neither poor Steve avoided ‘neither troubles’ nor he has learnt from the past. Being sent on leave was a visible sign or an indication that something is coming up.

Steve has been fired from ESPN and deprived off a dream-job, Steve’s physical relations with many more ‘friends revealed, Steve’s wife Marni Phillips has filed divorce, courtesy; “One admitted love affair with 22-year-old ESPN production assistant Brooke Huldley.”

Though Brooke Hundley retaliated in a furious manner and made the lives of both Steve Phillips and Marni Phillips upon being dumped by Steve, yet the blame is on Steve Phillips. Had Mets not backed their general manager well in 1998 when another mistress of Steve named ‘Rosa Rodriguez’ sued him for sexual harassment, he would never be able to win the suite and save his job alone.

Here again he puts his job on the stake by foreseeing some ‘threat’ from his dumped lover. The angry lady Brooke in retaliation, used to stalk his son, wrote letters to Marni about her joyous sexy moments with her husband and threatened her in many ways but would someone please Steve Phillips as to why did he cheat anyway?
