Brooke Hundley Interview:ABC got the scoop on a sit-down interview with Brooke Hundley, the former ESPN employee who was the central figure in the Steve Phillips affair scandal that had the New York tabloids buzzing for more than a week and nearly blew up the sports blogosphere. Well, at least Deadspin.

Phillips is still presumably in duck-and-cover mode, dealing with his announced sex addiction in a facility far away from any lights, cameras and HD makeup. But Hundley is finally speaking out to ABC, somewhat ironically part of the same company she worked for until recently being fired.

Hundley talked with Good Morning America’s Kate Snow:

I think people are so quick to make a judgment, it’s almost like ‘here’s a great story. Here’s a great chance for me to … destroy a person’ without any sense of really thinking about the fact that there’s a human being behind those words.

“Sammy Sosa Before And After”:Sammy Sosa appears to have been doing something to lighten his skin as these before and after photos show. It isn’t just an effect of the photographers lights as we can see that while his wife’s complexion does indeed look lighter in the second, after photo of her and Sammy Sosa, the contrast between the two complexions changes. Thus there must have been a change in their relative coloring, whatever the absolute change brought about by the lighting.

It also does not seem to be a case of vitiligo, which is what Michael Jackson had. This normally advances in patches (it exists in your humble reporter’s own family) and does not change the entire complexion at one go.

We might also consider one other point: Sammy Sosa used to play baseball and as we might note about that, it takes place outside, in the sun, in summer. Yes, everyone tans, however dark their natural skin color, so we would expect that sort of deep tan to perhaps fade a little over time once he had stopped playing. But these Sammy Sosa before and after pictures seem to show something more than that.

And indeed, Sammy Sosa’s own explanation is that he has been using a skin cream to soften his face (along the lines of a conditioner) and this is what has lightened his skin color. Luckily for this particular story it is indeed true that the use of skin conditioners will lighten skin, at least conditioners of a certain sort. If you think of what is called “dermal abrasion”, the concept will seem obvious. The propensity to have one skin color or another is genetic of course, but the expression of it comes from the skin’s exposure to sunlight. And it is the melanin in that top layer of the skin which actually darkens to give the skin color (a scar on the face of a dark skinned person is just as pink as that on the face of a lighter skinned one).

So if the form of skin conditioning is this dermal abrasion, the rubbing away of that very top skin layer to reveal younger skin underneath, then a side effect will be to lighten a person’s skin color.

New Orleans lost 124-104 at Phoenix on Wednesday, falling to 3-6 to start the season.

When Scott took over as coach after the 2003-04 season, he was the Hornets’ third coach in three seasons. He was the NBA coach of the year in 2008, when the Hornets finished 56-26. He was in the last year of his contract.

Scott has often been mentioned as a potential candidate to replace Phil Jackson as Lakers coach whenever Jackson decides to step down.
