7:32 PM I'm sure Michigan football fans will be more than happy to spend an additional $83,000 to maintain their seat location at Michigan Stadium. With RichRod piloting the ship and the state of the economy, all is well.
Urban gossip site Bossip.com is reporting today that Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have decided to get married in 2010.
(You may feel the need to towel off after reading this too)
Sources close to Kim say she has started planning process her fantasy wedding to boyfriend Reggie Bush. Kim apparently was inspired by Khloe and Lamar’s hasty love union.
Lovely, can’t think of a better reason in selecting a life partner.
The two are said to have started planning their own wedding after Kim asked Reggie about walking down the aisle in New Orleans after attending Khloe’s wedding. Surprisingly, Reggie said “lets do it.”
So Kim proposed? Reg sure sounds down with the plan.
Lest you think though that this won’t be a business endeavor akin to the KhlOdom mock marriage, Kim is allegedly planning the same sort of money-making arrangement her sister scored with producer Ryan Seacrest. Read more…
If you still think Twitter hasn’t changed sports media dramatically, the train has officially left without you. Witness Reggie Bush during the USC-San Jose State telecast yesterday on Fox Sports West TV:
(It’s time to play The Feud, Trojan fans!)
Most of you are probably like Larry Fitzgerald on this, so if you don’t who Papadakis is and/or why Bush would say such an inflammatory thing about a fellow former Trojan, I can help. (I assure you there’s much more to this story than what happened yesterday.)
First, what exactly did Papadakis say during the USC-San Jose State telecast that made Bush upset enough to Tweet his disdain for the former USC football captain to his 230,000 Twitter followers?
When last we left Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian, they had decided to call it quits due to conflicting schedules. Damn you, Travelocity! And so it goes with many of history’s great relationships … although Napoleon managed to stick with Josephine while off invading Russia, and being exiled to a small island. Anyway, here’s good news, Reggie and Kim fans!
Apparently America’s fun couple is back together! (Sean Payton bangs head repeatedly against locker). Because I watch the E! Entertainment channel to the exclusion of all other interests and responsibilities, I know that the two were spotted on Monday walking into Ruth’s Chris Steak House in New Orleans. And then someone, presumably her publicist, confirmed it’s back on!
On Wednesday night, the Braves and Hohn butted heads again over his strike zone, resulting in yet another ejection for Cox — one that he was baited into when Hohn told Cox he had to eject someone and then pulled out his lineup card to “decide” who to toss. Cox volunteered himself, and then threw up his arms in disbelief when Hohn did it. Moments later, Brian McCann was tossed for asking Hohn to admit he missed a call during his last at bat.
Even so, as egregious as Hohn’s mistakes may have been, it’s easy to dismiss Atlanta’s protests as just your average sour grapes. But then something happened on Wednesday night. When Marlins catcher John Baker caught the final strike in Florida’s 6-3 win over the Braves, he turned around and extended his fist toward Hohn, to which Hohn obliged with a response. Yeah, you heard it right, an umpire actually fist-bumped a player. Here’s the evidence, in animated GIF form. A screenshot of the bumping moment:
Hohn likely didn’t realize how that would look, as Baker was probably just telling Hohn he did a good job (as players will sometimes do after games), but on a night when Hohn ejected the opposing manager for arguing about the strike zone, that was a pretty poor decision. One that probably should earn Hohn a game or two off.
Still fuming, the Braves shook it off last night and beat the Marlins 6-3 on a 10th inning homer by McCann.
Your 2009 trade deadline is just hours away, ladies and gentlemen. J.P. Ricciardi continues to hold firm on a steep price for Roy Halladay, and we’ll see this afternoon just how serious he is about making a deal. Many teams have been in the hunt, but all seem to be unwilling to give up the one key prospect the Jays covet. And since Ricciardi can hold on to Halladay and do this all over again next year, he doesn’t feel that dealing him is a necessity.
(If Nick Punto was your shortstop, this guy would seem like a great option)
The Red Sox are going to to everything they can, though, to shake things up and land either Victor Martinez or Adrian Gonzalez. Gonzalez would be a huge coup for the Sox, as he’s signed through 2010 at about $2.5 million, and his option for 2011 is a very reasonable $5.5 million. I’m not sure, in fact, why the Padres would want to trade him unless they were getting a ton in return (something like Clay Buchholz, Jed Lowrie, and of Boston’s other top two or three prospects, and even that might not seem like enough). Not surprisingly, Jon Heyman has been told the Sox prefer Gonzalez over Martinez. Martinez has a team option for next year at $7 million, is four years older than Gonzalez, and doesn’t OPS anywhere near .929.
Either way, the Sox would have a huge jam with Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis competing for time at third base, while the new player would vie for time at first with Adam LaRoche.
• CNBC’s Darren Rovell says that one indication that our economy might be heading the right direction is that golf manufacturer Callaway’s stock price is on the rise on forecasts that club sales may be picking up.
• I’m sure you’ve wanted to punch someone in the face during a game of Monopoly, but somebody finally went through with it. The victim’s crime? An apparent unwillingness to sell Park Place and Boardwalk.
With training camp time fast approaching, many NFL players need to get focused back on the sport that makes them millions. That means many distractions need to be dealt with - which apparently includes Hollywood girlfriends. Fresh off the heels of Tony Romo jettisoning Jessica Simpson, another pro football star is shedding his tabloid-targeted significant other.
THE GOSSIP GIRLS, PEOPLE, and other such sites are reporting that Reggie Bush & Kim Kardashian are kaput as a couple. Like Tony & Jess, the conflicting seasons of another NFL campaign and another inane reality show were becoming too much of a strain on Reg & Kimmy’s relationship.
(NYP report on Bush and Kim K.? Asinine, obviously.)
THE economy doesn’t seem to have taken a toll on Kim Kardashian’s bottom line. The amply rumped reality-show star (above) recently joined her boyfriend, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, at Liv in Miami’s Fontainebleau Hotel, where we hear Kim showered clubgoers with $3,000 in singles. Also in attendance were her sisters, Khloe and Kourtney.
Why is it lame? Because I know the real truth on what actually happened. Read more…
