http://backporch.fanhouse.com – ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips, embroiled in an affair with Brooke Hundley, has reportedly been suspended for a week by the network based on the public turn the affair has taken, including potential threats to Phillips’ wife, Marni Phillips.

Hundley is a 22-year-old production assistant with ESPN. According to the NY Post, she went off the deep end after the announcer dumped her, Phillips was forced to involve police in the situation, and the media caught wind of the news shortly thereafter.

“I have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my kids and myself,” Steve Phillips said in a police statement, adding that the woman became “obsessive and delusional” after he dumped her.

The Post obtained a copy of the letter Hundley sent to Marni Phillips, detailing her relationship with Steve Phillips. In short, it comes off as the ramblings of an insane person*. (And not “Jenn Sterger on Twitter insane”; this is Glenn Close on the big screen nutty.) The first paragraph is below, and if you’re so inclined, you can read the entire letter here.

Hi Marni,

My name is Brooke, I work with Steve and he and I got into a pretty heated argument on Sunday about the fact he hasn’t been honest with you about our relationship. You see, I’m the woman he’s been seeing for a while now, and I’m not just some random girl he had sex with in parking lots, I’m actually a close friend who works with him on a frequent basis. I care about him a lot and I’ve been asking him to come clean to you about everything, from when we first slept together in St Louis in his hotel suite (where he assured me I wouldn’t have to worry about getting pregnant since his vasectomy) to the fact that we have continued to talk, see each other and schedule meet-ups even since you found out. He’s upset because I told him I was going to tell you everything, but it’s important that you know this. We text all day when he’s at work and talk via hotel phones on the road. The texts have always been mostly about the sexual side of our relationship and I have some saved if you ever want to see them, basically stuff like when we’ll meet up next, what we want to do to each other physically and how we feel about each other.

In addition to the unhinged letters and phone calls, Hundley reportedly attempted to contact Phillips’ 16-year-old son through Facebook while posing as a teenager. She also supposedly ran her car into a large stone column after delivering the aforementioned letters to the Phillips home.

So, yes, a tad on the unnerving side if you’re part of the Phillips family. The nature of Hundley’s behavior, indeed, almost minimizes the whole week-long suspension problem from ESPN. Certainly, this isn’t “good” for Phillips’ public persona, but because of his previously known infidelities, it might not necessarily be a dealbreaker — witness Disney only punting him for a week and not immediately pushing him out like the good ship Salisbury. Or Harold Reynolds.
