ESPN sacks 2 more in latest sex scandal


More sexual turbulence for the World Wide Leader.

ESPN has fired two more high-level execs in the latest of a series of high-profiled affairs.

Coming off the embarrassing Steve Phillips episode with a 22 year-old underling, the sports cabler lowered the boom, Friday, on more personnel.

Katie Lacey, 44, the v.p. of marketing, was fired and her now-divorced lover, David Berson, 37, the once-influential v.p. of programming, was stripped of all responsibility.

"At the expiration of their contracts neither will be renewed," said ESPN publicist Josh Krulewitz."

The two even expensed the hotel rooms they booked near the network's Bristol, Conn., headquarters for their steamy liaisons, Lacey's former executive assistant charged.

When apart, they exchanged racy e-mails on their corporate e-mail accounts. Berson lustily told her in one message that he wanted her lying on her back. He lamented his "fish belly" in another missive.

Berson divorced his wife in March.
