Marko Jaric, who recently wed Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima, is going to be a daddy. The couple wed in February (on Valentine’s Day, natch) and are about to become first-time parents. Lima is due this winter. (Which, if you counted back, means that she was not preggers at the time of her nuptials. Or maybe I’m the only one that did that?)

Anywho, we send our congratulations to the happy couple! We also wonder if Lima will still be a Victoria’s Secret Angel after delivery? But that’s a thought to ponder some other time…..

In honor of the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Beijing, we decided to award a few medals of our own. The event is Athlete-Celebrity Couples, and they will be judged on Hotness, Likability, and Endurance Potential (each category is worth 10 points; a perfect score would be 30 points).
In no particular order: 
Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly
Hotness: 9.7  Pretty boy + cutie pie=A darn respectable score. 
Likability: 9.0 She OK but hey, he’s a member of the New York Yankees. We’re Boston Red Sox fans. ‘Nuff said.
Endurance Potential: 4.6 Playboy boy + cutie pie=A good time had by all. For a few months anyway.

Marko Jaric of the Minnesota Timberwolves had a ring on his mind Thrusday night during Game 4 of the NBA Finals (Go Celtics!), but it wasn’t a championship ring.
No, Jaric had the other important ring in mind: the one he gave his now-bride-to-be, Victoria’s Secret supermodel Adriana Lima.
The Brazilian knockout and her Serb honey have been dwelling in coupledom for nine months. Early on in their relationship, we examined The Supermodel Effect, which poses an age-old debate: Do smokin’ girlfriends enhance or detract from an athlete’s on-field performance? (We proceed on the assumption that their off-field performance is just fine).

Marko Jaric’s …read more

We made this observation way back in November, when Marko Jaric’s on-court numbers with the Minnesota Timberwolves spiked as things were heating up with his arm charm, Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima.
And Super Bowl aside, European jet-setter Tom Brady had a season for the QB record books. It also marks his first full NFL season with Gisele Bundchen at his side.
Now we can add Andy Roddick to the list of Athletes Who Improved After Getting a Little Something-Something From a Model. Just days after his engagement to swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker, Roddick broke his 11-game losing streak to Roger Federer …read more

Believe it or not, it’s only been one week since we first got hooked on Brazilian supermodels as blog foddah. Who would have guessed the leggy wonders would contribute so much to the philosophy of humor?
Last week we discussed The Supermodel Effect, a phenomenon that poses a very important question for the sports gossip world: Do athletes play better when they have supermodel girlfriends?
We used Marko Jaric of the Minnesota Timberwolves as a case study. A leap in his stats coincided with a budding relationship with one Adriana Lima of Victoria’s Secret.
However, things have since gone downhill for Jaric. Yikes, did we jinx him? His …read more

Answer: Yes, especially to Minnesota Timberwolves guard Marko Jaric, whose recent stats are as smokin’ as his new arm charm, Victoria’s Secret hottie Adriana Lima. Coincidence? His teammates think not.
Two consecutive posts on Brazilian supermodels. Anyone complaining?
*hears crickets*
Yeah, we didn’t think so.
