Hey!

Definitely a good argument.

You both stole that “Don’t bother watching. This one has already been decided” thing from Twitter?

Steve Phillips was fired by ESPN

What I want to know is, why is this the reason? Shouldn’t he have been fired more for being terrible at his job?

Definitely a good argument.

judging from their other employees

Being good at your job isn’t a requirement at ESPN.

but everytime i look at steve phillips i think of a birthmark on his crotch

i never want to think about that region of Steve Phillips. Perhaps ESPN executives can also now only look at Phillips in terms of his crotch.

highlight of the article

Technological, medical and sociological advances have rendered monogamy a theory/fantasy attained solely by men without options and even less self-confidence.

I got no problem with him cheating

That’s between him and his wife.

But getting involved with underlings is trouble. He’s done it before and got in trouble. You’d think he’d know better. There’s millions of women in the city, and he’s got to boink the ones that work for him?

BF's point is

that his wife might not care, and it’s not really our place to be outraged for her over his cheating.

But the sexual harassment, definitely people outside of his marriage should have a problem with.

did you read the article though

like i understand Whitlock’s point but it seems sexist too me. If he would have picked a different way to prove his point rather than comparing women to steak houses. If he simply would have wrote that monogamy is difficult for people, but he basically made it seem like he should be able to fuck any young lady he wants. I would like to know how Whitlock would feel if his wife fucked a 22 year old intern.

He’s Steve Phillips. It’s not like he’s gonna score a Kate Hudson or Minka Kelly. He probably thought it was his lucky day, to find someone under 35 who’d give him the time of day.

Haha, my favorite comment:

“Sexual Harassment charges are just an evolutionary response to another problem in society: bad pick-up lines. Women define the rules of Play, and we as men, are free to ball all we want, as long as we don’t commit any fouls. Most of the ESPN tools that are getting outed are doing so because their game was weak. Jason Whitlock loses some credibility when he tries to paint Deadspin as anti-getting-some. The point of those leaks was to expose ESPN’s ambiguous policy regarding intra-office sexual relations, not to C-block. What we need to be celebrating are all the guys who can spit game, bag poon, and not get caught, not Whitlock’s “earth-shattering” revelation that men love ’ussy."

You Play, You Pay

I frankly do not care what he does with other women. I’m not his spouse or priest, but when you start running around with employees, and younger females who can claim sexual harassment and use your employer as their meal ticket, well, let’s just say he’s already put himself through this once, as GM of the Mets. He simply didn’t get it. I do not have much mercy on him. Now, I only hope that Mark May and that corpse who used to coach Notre Dame are busted.

by justin007000 on Oct 25, 2009 10:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Hughes

I think he’ll be a starter next year.

He pitched well as a starter this year. They moved him to the pen because they had too many starters, and he was the most junior starter. I think the original plan was to swap him and Joba at the end of the season, since they’re both still on innings count.

Then Chien-Ming Wang got injured (again), and it seemed like the right move was to make Hughes a starter again. But he was so good in the pen they didn’t want to. They felt it would cripple the team to lose that part of the “bridge to Mariano.” So he’s remained in the pen.

But as with Joba, they don’t see him as a relief pitcher. He’s too good. And he’s not a knucklehead like Joba is. I think he’ll be back as a starter next year.
