I was starting to believe “Super Mario” had turned a corner when his transfer to AC Milan was completed. Typically during his time at Manchester City we couldn’t go a week without a fantastic story about Mario. Battling back from insane stories about prostitutes to possibly burning his house down with fireworks that he fired off himself inside his house, things had been quite calm off the pitch for Mario since heading to AC Milan. Yes there was the…
Look at the big man gettin’ it done. At the 2013 NFL Draft, the world was introduced to Lane Johnson’s wife Chelsea Johnson who has a crack at being the 2013 Lauren Tannehill. The couple was married on January 6, 2013 at the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club in front of family and friends. Philadelphia will probably serve as a bit of a culture shock for the newlyweds traveling from Oklahoma to a city…
UPDATE 03/04/2014: Raymond Felton’s wife Ariane Raymondo-Felton is resourceful. As a second year law student at Fordham University, she’s getting her beak wet in creative solutions around legal matters. The soon to be former Mrs. Felton has requested that their pre-nup be thrown out on grounds that Felton cheated on her. Despite the marriage only lasting 19 months, she wants full divorce assets, and is seeking that the Knicks point guard continue to pay for…
Coming into the 2012-13, there were lofty expectations placed on Kevin Martin. With OKC deciding they couldn’t (or didn’t want to) give James Harden a new max contract, they traded him to Houston. Martin was shipped to the Thunder in that deal and essentially had to try and replicate Harden’s offensive output from the bench. While not as explosive, Martin did his best impression as the Thunder marched their way to the 1 seed in…
George Karl’s “life partner” Kim Van Deraa was born in Appleton, Wis., where she played high school basketball. Kim then attended University of Wisconsin, where she was an outstanding player. In her words, The coaches complained that I didn’t shoot, but I was always more excited about rebounding and playing defense George and Kim actually met because she was a secretary with the Milwaukee Bucks when he coached there. From the sounds of it, Kim’s…
My official reaction when the Braves trade for Justin Upton was that of reserved excitement, but in my mind I was running around jumping for joy. It’s not everyday that your favorite team trades for your fantasy crush, especially if they only have to give up 60 cents on the dollar. I tempered my expectations coming into the season, mostly because Upton was a huge disappointment in 2012. Maybe it was moving out of the…
Score one for the little guys. Whatever Tim Clark shoots on the course on Sunday at the Masters pales in comparison to the score he fired off it. There is not one thing I don’t like about Tim Clark’s wife Candice Clark. I’m even turned on by the spelling of her name. Candice easily jumps ahead of my childhood dream girl Candace Cameron Bure as my favorite Candice (yes I know they spell their name differently,… just let it slide). Typically when someone…
