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….

Gisele Bundchen Says “No Ring”

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 wasn’t enough they also planted a Cardinals flag in a tree outside McNabb’s home.

Can you just see these two? Giggling after each lame stunt, like… “What should we do NEXT?”

Get this, not only are the fans stupid for taking their enthusiasm too far, they also left their name and address on the cardboard box left on the lawn.

STUPID.

Just be glad Arizona is in the Superbowl, Cardinals fans! No need to get crazy and start burning up people’s lawns! Honestly….

Cards Fans Burn Message Into Donovan McNabb’s Lawn

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 receiver Hank Baskett, but will go back to THE MANSION this summer in order to get married. Must Hef be a part of everything? First he pretends to have sex with women and now he’s going to pretend to be happy for Kendra? When is it enough???

I wonder what Hank thinks about her NOT sleeping with her ex? Hmmmmmm……

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 the word ‘Ravens’ from my name just like the Steelers will remove them from the AFC Championship.”

Ouch! Smackdown!

My question is, why doesn’t he keep the name even AFTER the game this weekend? That’s what a true fan would do!

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 interview with Stephen Viscusi. Stephen talks about about how to “bulletproof” your job. You can win a copy of his book and learn about tips to keep your job strong in this economy.

And hey, this advice even goes for celebs and athletes! (But I think you and I might benefit a bit more from the book!)

Winner of 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 former/present girlfriend is even dry.

Anywho, Tom popped the question with a “diamond solitaire” according to People. I’m sure Bridget was thrilled for them. I’m sure Bridget and Tom’s son was thrilled (of course he’s just a toddler, and aren’t they always thrilled? Lucky little buggers that they are.)

I’m sure Leo DiCaprio is thrilled, since he and Gisele had an on again/off again thing that lasted years.

Everyone’s thrilled! Okay? (And I might be too…. give me time….)

I’m Happy That Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady Are Engaged… But…

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 not: oh my gosh they put popcorn in this guys car. It was: oh my gosh eating that is disgusting! Would you eat something off of someone’s car seat?

Anyway… let’s hope Jason’s car was scotch guarded.

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 old!) and featured the baseball’s first professional team. According to one source, “It’s considered one of the first baseball cards ever produced and its actual value could be worth more than $100,000 when she puts it back on eBay.”

I don’t know what’s more amazing about this story: The fact that there is a baseball card worth over $100,000 or the fact that a 72-year old not only new enough about the Web to put something on eBay, but then had enough savvy to take it down to get the best offer she could!

Old Basecall Card Could Be Worth Over $100,000

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 away.”

Tough guy with a sense of humor…. I love it!

The fan, Todd Kobus, was charged with trespassing and assault and battery and pleaded not guilty. Kobus said he was a big fan of Seau and just “meant to give him a big hug.”

The REALLY stinky part (if you’re a football fan) is that the tickets that Kobus used will be revoked. Ouch.

Junior Seau Gets Tackled by a Fan

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 David Beckham, you didn’t expect wife Victoria to sit around her hotel room while the twosome are in Milan, did you?

Of course not. If your name is Posh Spice you must see and be seen. Here’s Posh browsing shops like Dolce & Gabbana before meeting up with her hubby. By the way, check out the set of keys on the dude standing next to her:

I’m guessing janitor… what do you think?

Anywho, here’s hunky David running out to meet up with his credit card charging wife.

And darnit, he looks good no matter what. I guarantee you that I or my hubby would look like dorks if we wore that hat. Oh the beautiful people just have it all, don’t they?
