So THE BIG LEAD has some more photos of brodcaster Jim Nantz’s girlfriend, 29-year-old IMG vice president Courtney Richards. For lack of a better way to describe her, I’ll say new-Becky-from-”Roseanne”-meets-Pam-from-”The-Office.”
More photos following the jump. Read more…
The CONNECTICUT POST breaks down the divorce settlement of Jim and Lorrie Nantz, which the presiding judge claims was not impacted by Nantz cheating on his ex-wife with a 29-year-old woman.
The total alimony and support award of $916,000 a year is somewhat less than the more than $1.5 million Lorrie Nantz had been seeking in alimony and child support.
In addition, the judge required Nantz to turn over the couple’s six-bedroom home on Imperial Avenue in Westport to his ex-wife along with all the furnishings. She also will get the condominium on Terra Nova Circle in Westport occupied by her mother.
He retains the contract on a $1 million condo in Deer Valley, Utah.
Nantz must also pay $70,000 toward the country club membership of his wife’s choice.
Nantz still has the option of fighting the judge’s decision, so now the question is, will he?
The STAMFORD ADVOCATE has the painful details of Jim Nantz’s divorce proceeding last week, Daniel Tepfer’s lede:
Watching the Jim Nantz divorce trial was like seeing a car crash — you just couldn’t look away. Clutching a pair of reading glasses in his hands, the 50-year-old Nantz teared up at times as he described his wife’s foibles that he claims led up to the breakdown of their marriage
(Lorrie, Jim Nantz divorcing after 26 years of marriage)
Nantz had been married 26 years to wife Lorrie before asking for a divorce last year. The sportscaster cried as a he told Superior Court Judge Howard Owens that his wife’s “excessive spending and lack of support” was the reason for the split.
That lack of support apparently led the 50-year-old Nantz to take up with a 29-year-old girlfriend. Read more…
Hey, how about this year’s March Madness? Yeah, I haven’t found it that exciting, either. No Cinderella stories to courageously follow. No interesting or intriguing personalities to keep me glued to the set. There’s been more action off the court than on it. Maybe because there’s no more Billy Packer to universally hate. So the announcing crews drudge on. And when you think CBS sports announcing, you eventually think Jim Nantz.
However, Jim is almost 50, and he can’t keep getting March Mad forever. So, what would he like to do after he shuts off the mic for the last time?
