Story on former ESPN writer Sarah Philips

[MrTitleist]

This story went around like wildfire on Twitter yesterday... highly entertaining read if you have some time to kill.. this chick is crazy like no one's busy.. and apparently a compulsive gambler. So bizarre.. and ESPN was kicked in the gut by Deadspin.

You may have to refresh the last one a few times to get it to work right.

This whole story is possibly the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. Why on earth would ESPN hire a blogger on a gambling site without ever meeting her, and how dumb are all of these saps that just threw money at her because she told them to?

This chick always acted like she had a stick up her butt.....not surprised by all of this, but it is quite the entertaining development.
