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!
Now, if you are bummed that you didn’t win I have two other contests still going on. They both are for great books I think you’ll really enjoy.
Over at the Career and Kids blog, author Mary Kennedy was kind enough to talk to us about SMART goal setting (something every athlete can use!) and also gave us three of her teen novels to giveaway. Do check out her interview and be sure to enter the giveaway.
Also over at Career and Kids is an …read more

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

When someone new joins your workplace, you generally give them a nice welcome. Maybe a plant. Perhaps a card. At the very least you should take them out to lunch.
But the Sacramento Kings apparently didn’t read the book on “How to Treat a New Employee” because they insisted that Jason Thompson bring bagels and cream cheese to practice. When he didn’t, they gave him a lesson he will never forget: They put popcorn in his car.
Lots and lots of popcorn. Check out this video:

My first thought upon seeing this was …read more

How many times do we hear it? NEVER THROW OUT YOUR BASEBALL CARDS!
OR comic books.
One lady, Bernice Gallego, took that lesson to task. She found an old baseball card in a box of antiques, and listed it on eBay. As soon as she did, lots of people started taking an interest and asking if it was real.
She had the thing listed for $10. So many people were interested that she thought she better see what this thing really is! Sure enough, the baseball card was made in 1869 (over 100 years …read more

Junior Seau is usually the one hitting hard on Sundays, but this past weekend he was the one who got hit…. by a fan!
Apparently he was caught off guard by a fan who jumped out and tackled him by surprise. (Which incidentally, if you’re looking for a way to share the love with your favorite player – this is NOT the way to do it!)
Seau was cool as a cucumber about the whole thing. I especially love this video where he said, “We rolled around, said Merry Christmas, and they pulled him …read more

David Beckham is enjoying his time in Milan. At least, he looks super happy to receive his number “32″ shirt by AC Milan President Adriano Galliani.
For all you kids from one to ninety-two who asked Santa for a chance to see Beckham start for AC Milan, you’ve got your wish. He’ll be playing in the next match against Roma on January 11th. (Beckham is “on loan” for three months from the L.A. Galaxy.)
So what I’m wondering is… how can I get David Beckham “on loan” for a few months.
HA! (Kidding…. JUST kidding…..)
Speaking of …read more
