Gisele Bundchen has refuted claims that she and Tom Brady are engaged.
She tells one source that it is absolutely positively not true.
But what if she just changed her mind? What if she came to her senses and realized that if a guy is going to leave his girlfriend when he finds out she’s pregnant, that he’s probably a bum!
You think?
Nah… me neither. I doubt Gisele worries about men leaving her… pregnant or not. Still…. a sports blogger can hope….

There are great fans, overzealous fans, and occasionally, STUPID fans. This story falls into the last two categories.
Apparently a pair of Arizona Cardinalsfans “used diesel fuel to burn the words “Go Cards,” “Go Kurt” and “I (heart symbol) AZ” on Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb’s lawn.
The Cardinals are going to the Superbowl, while the Eagles are not. That should be enough satisfaction for a Cardinals fan.
Not only that, but the two fans also had left a cardboard box with a sign that said, “Go Cards” and “Beat Philly.” As if that …read more

Here’s a super shocking revelation: Kendra Wilkinson (one of the three “Girls Next Door” who pretended to sleep with super old Hugh Hefner) says she would sneak out of the Playboy mansion every once in a blue moon in order to have sex.
What? Isn’t the Playboy mansion KNOWN for sexual exploits here and there and everywhere? I knew something was wrong with three chicks sleeping with a guy old enough to be their great-great-great grandfather. And now I see what it is! (She said snarkily…)
Kendra is now dating Philadelphia Eagles wide …read more

In case you haven’t heard, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the playoffs. The whole town is getting behind them, including their mayor, Luke Ravenstahl.
Notice the team name tucked into the mayors name? The “Ravens.”
Yah, well guess who the Steelers play this Saturday? Yep – the RAVENS. The mayor, true blue Steeler fan that he is, felt that having a last name that mentioned the opponent was NO GOOD. So he’s asked to be called “Mr. Steelerstahl” for the duration of the week.
He said, “On behalf of the Steelers Nation, I’ve decided to remove …read more

Congratulations to Christopher H.! He’s the winner of the book 80 Percent Luck!

Congrats to Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady! They are engaged, and planning a spring wedding.
I’m happy if they are happy. I mean, so what if he left the woman who was pregnant with his son in order to be with Gisele. Right?
So what if he was a total scoundrel by getting involved with Gisele before he broke up with Bridget Moynahan.
Right?
No! No, NOT right. Men who do such things should suffer (at least for a while!). NOT take up with super-hot models before the ink on the pregnancy test of their …read more

Marion Barber from the Cowboys has a dislocated pinkie toe and a sore calf, but Jerry Jones thinks he still should have played.
This is the Jerry Jones who thinks he’s a coach… and now obviously a doctor, too. Talented guy that Jerry Jones is!
Jones mouths off to one source, “He can play with the soreness and a combination of those things. I see nothing that led us to believe he couldn’t.”
Of course not, Jerry. That’s because you sit in the booth and watch the game from the comfort of your corporate box.
There’s something really super icky …read more

Former Baywatch gal Gena Lee Nolin and her NHL hockey playin’ hubby Cale Hulse just welcomed a baby girl this week.
According to People they named her Stella Monroe Hulse.
Gena was Neely Capshaw on Baywatch for anyone that has been living under a rock. She hasn’t done a lot of acting since, but I imagine being a mommy keeps her busy!
Congrats to Gena and Cale!

Ted Thompson has finally done with Derrick Frost what he couldn’t bring himself to do with Brett Favre. That is: Admit he made a mistake.
Thompson is known for constantly wanting to rebuild whatever team he’s trying to manage, and has consistently let go of players right and left since joining the Packers. The most infamous, of course, was Brett Favre.
But he’s also let go of the Packers‘ leading sacker last month, and a very good punter at the start of the season in place of a TERRIBLE PUNTER. …read more
