HuskyCaucasian Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 ESPN Horndog Dossier: Katie Lacey Who? Exactly. Lacey, SVP of Marketing for ESPN, was a popular subject in our tips box dating back to last year. Why? Why do people despise this woman so much? From an emailer named "Michelle Jones" last year: "there is so much more to her story and you really need to find out how she slept her way up pepsi's ladder and now espn's..." And from a "samsamsmith": I am watching the mistresses of these major public figures get humiliated and have their reputations destroyed. My question is this, what about the affair that happens on a "smaller scale", so to speak. What about the big shot marketing career woman who sleeps with the senior programmer at a major cable network. Why isn't her reputation ruined? Who will speak to "out" them? I want to remain anonymous, but I want someone to dig and write about this woman. Katie Lacey holds the top post at ESPN for marketing and she even has her name mentioned in an EEOC claim which ESPN is trying to keep quiet, wouldn't someone be interested in either of these things? Oh pshaw. She can't be f***ing anybody too important, right? Wrong. The rumor circulating through Bristol — and our inbox — is that Lacey infuriated a lot of people when she began doinking David Berson, an ESPN programming VP at the WWL. On-air talent had been scolded for similar or lesser indiscretions, yet this relationship went unchallenged, infuriating some Bristolites. No leadership pickles for you, Lacey! So for your notes: ESPN Corporate Ladder-f***ing: Good. ESPN On-Air Talent Production Assistant-f***ing: Not Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Those people at ESPN need to be neutered. It's like Caligula there. There must not be sh** else to do in Bristol, Connecticut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 This s*** happens all over the place, at all successful companies that happen to employ egomaniacs...you just hear about the ESPN personalities because they are famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 It's a shame, too. I met Phillips last December and he's a really smart, good-looking dude. I guess it's just easier for these guys to sleep with these women because they can just take them to their hotel room instead of having to wine and dine them out in public, where they will be discovered...

Chisoxfn Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I worked with my current fiance. For every bit of bad that can come out of it, there is also plenty of good that can come from work-place incidents. I also know a few other people who are married to people they met at work. Of course I never worked with this person, but regardless my company had zero policies against this sort of behavior. The only rule was that anyone who was seeing someone couldn't work on the same consulting team as there significant other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCSox Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 03:08 PM) The workplace is a very common cheating place because of accessibility. And unfortunately, Phillips has taken advantage of that fact on many occasions. He had to take another leave of absence when he was with the Mets because an employee who he admitted to shacking up with sued him for sexual harassment. At this time, Phillips also admitted to "multiple other affairs." Despite this, his wife took him back and tried to work things out. I realize that even good people can make a bad decision, but Phillips is a serial cheater. And to make things worse, he's going to have to explain his reckless and selfish behavior to his four children now that his wife has filed for divorce.

Neither were direct reports, either them to me or me to them. There's no reason why a workplace relationship shouldn't work as long as, both parties are single and/or one doesn't report to the other.

whitesoxfan101 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) It's always the ugly and/or chubby women that guys end up cheating with, it will never make sense but that seems to be how it goes the vast majority of the time. Phillips has a history of this though (and if the rumors are true, there will be more women who he had affairs with at ESPN that will eventually come forward, in addition to his escapades with the Mets) so we should not be surprised. I would be shocked if we see him at ESPN again. On a side note, Deadspin sucks. Daluerio has run that place into the ground, and him posting all of those rumors about other people cheating and/or sleeping to the top just because he's bitter he had the scoop on Phillips and wasn't able to find enough backup to post it is lame. Even if they turn out to be true (and with some of the stories a friend of mine who worked at ESPN has told me, they probably are and then some), just throwing crap against the wall and hoping it sticks is an example of why blogs like that get made fun of because that is even a step below TMZ trash, only this is sports not Hollywood.

I was thinking about it the other night before this crap with Phillips even came up....why is Tim McCarver "awful"? Why is Steve Phillips? Other than the fact that it makes people feel good or somehow knowledgeable to claim a professional is "awful," what do they say or do that is so bad? And if they are so bad, who is good?
