A former ESPN production assistant whose affair with broadcaster Steve Phillips led to their firings has filed a lawsuit against the sports network saying it defamed her.
The lawsuit by 23-year-old Brooke Hundley, filed Tuesday in Stamford Superior Court, says ESPN defamed her by firing her based on false statements by Phillips and by claiming she had not fully cooperated with its investigation.
Hundley, who was hired by ESPN in 2008 and paid $10.96 per hour, said Phillips made false statements to police in Connecticut portraying her as a danger to his family and himself as an innocent victim. She said Phillips falsely claimed he had been trying to end their relationship. (more…)

The NFL scores for week 4 of the 2009 season had the Colts, Giants, Saints and Broncos all winning to remain undefeated. On the other end of the spectrum the Browns, Chiefs, Titans, Rams and Buccaneers showed off their futility as they dropped their week 4 games to remain winless on the 2009 season.
In the match-up between two 3 – 0 teams the New Orleans Saints were able to beat the NY Jets 24 – 10 as they were able to rattle Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. The rookie couldn’t handle the pressure the Saints put on him as he threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in the end zone that turned into 6 points for the Saints. That fumble came after Sanchez threw a pick that Darren Sharper of the Saints returned 99 yards for a touchdown.
With the Saints defense providing 14 points off turnovers in the first half the Jets found themselves trailing at halftime 17 – 3. The second half was a defensive struggle but the Jets were able to close to within a touchdown after Thomas Jones ran it in from 15 yards out to make it 17 – 10 with 7:48 in the third quarter. Those points came after the Jets had a short field after a New Orleans fumble. But that was all the points the Jets could generate as the Saints defense was strong all day showing the Sanchez led Jets offense many different defensive formations. The Saints stretched their lead to 24 – 10 and took home the win, moving to 4 – 0 on the young season. (more…)
