So who was the blonde with Bill Belichick?


We were going to originally put this in the Odds and Ends column for today but once in a while, we like to get all US Weekly up in here. While the Boston Herald Inside Track girls were the first to post about Bill “Ladykiller” Belichick and an “unidentified blonde”, Tom Curran over at NBC Sports Blogs has identified her as Linda Holiday from Florida.

[Update: Sadly, it is not the same Linda Holliday so just ignore the rest of this post. Bleh. We’ll leave the celeb gossip mongerering to the experts from now on.]:


From Florida? That’s all we get? Come on Tom. Is she from the school, or just the general state? Well, that’s why Google kicks ass. A little googling has turned up Linda Holliday from Medical Broadcasting Company.

Her bio says “In her career, Linda has directed the marketing efforts for the regional sports channels of Cablevision, for SBK Pictures, and has also served as an independent marketing consultant.” So there you go, Bill had access, so to speak. It looks kinda like her and until someone comes up with better evidence, we’re inclined to believe it’s her. Boy we feel kind of dirty now. How does Page Six do it every day?

Oh by the way, we still haven’t seen a picture of Sharon Shenocca, the secretary with the Giants that Bill broke up the marriage of. Anyone? Anyone?

Tom Brady really is going for the baby daddy record


Can someone sit Tom Brady down and explain to him where babies come from? Because getting 2 chicks pregnant within the span of a season is not something the poster boy for NFL quarterbacks should be doing. A Brazilian website equivalent of Page Six is reporting that Gisele Bundchen is two months pregnant and Tom Brady is the father.

Sweet baby Jesus. At this rate, he’ll overtake Shawn Kemp by the 2009 season. Hey Tom, you know Visa’s Five Layers of Protection only apply to credit card purchases right?

Tom Brady’s boys can swim!


Things are going crazy over there in Foxboro since the Colts knocked the Patriots out of the playoffs. Bill Belichick is getting sued by some guy who claims Belichick had an affair with his wife, Ted Johnson says Belichick made him play with a concussion, and now Tom Brady has decided to take on Shawn Kemp’s bastard children record.

The New York Post reported yesterday that Brady’s ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan is three months pregnant with Brady’s child. Let’s see… today is Feb 19th… and the couple announced their separation in December… hmmmm… perhaps Tom gave her this classic speech:


Honey, a miracle has happened-you’ve got a bun in the oven. How wonderful! Before long, this family is going to be bigger by none. After all, you and me and baby minus me makes two.

It’s hard to believe that soon there are going to be two people in our little brood. Nothing brings two people closer together quite like one of them being a mother and the other a child. No, there’s nothing in the world more special than that.

Just think of the happy, loving family we’ll make: You and the baby, plus me 700 miles away. That’s the kind of family I’ve always wanted, and you’ve made it possible. It’s truly a dream come true.

It’s good to know that Tom is willing to ditch a pregnant woman so we can have more tabloid fodder. Is it possible that Tom Brady is the father of Anna Nicole’s baby?

Tom Brady is living the dream


At the risk of turning into some sort of gossipy knitting circle, we do have to report that the rumors are indeed true — Tom Brady is dating Gisele Bundchen. US Weekly has a photo of them walking back to her NYC apartment where they probably spent all night looking at game film.


Gisele: Tom, are you sad you threw that interception to Marlon Jackson and won’t be in the Super Bowl?
Brady: Yeah… sure. (thinking: who cares? This is better than the SB.)

Let us remind you that Tom Brady was a sixth round draft pick who got his chance cause Drew Bledsoe punctured a lung against the Jets. And now he’s trading in Bridget Moynahan for a 26 year old Brazilian model. Forget about Wally Pip. Drew Bledsoe should be the new Wally Pip in sports references… hell all references.

By the way, shouldn’t Brady be smiling more?

When does Tom Brady’s deal with the devil expire?


First, let’s talk about football. Peyton Manning goes 15 for 30, 170 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs and a 39.6 QB rating. Tom Brady goes 27-51, 280 yards, 2 TDs and 3 INTs and a 57.6 QB rating. Both quarterbacks played pretty poorly. Tom Brady’s last interception cost the Patriots the game… oh wait, no it didn’t because Marlon McCree is a goddamn idiot… In any case, Tom Brady is “a winner who delivers in the clutch” and Peyton Manning is “lucky to be in the AFCCG”. Doesn’t seem fair does it?

Well, here’s what else is not fair. Tom Brady had Gisele Bundchen waiting for him outside the Patriots locker room while all Peyton Manning has is a bunch of fat sportswriters. Boston Herald’s The Track (Page Six?) reported:


She was standing outside the locker room, just kind of leaning against the wall,” said our spy in the bowels of QualComm Stadium. “No one noticed her, she was dressed like a high-school kid, just in jeans and a T-shirt. But she is gorgeous.

It’s good to be Tom Brady.

Bill Belichick is a phony

Let’s see, the Jets beat the Patriots in the regular season and Belichick gives his former protege a cold fish running away handshake. The Patriots beat the Jets in the playoffs and all of the sudden, he’s ok with Mangini and gives him a bear hug. Just because the student hasn’t overtaken the master, it means everything is fine again? On top of that, he shoves a photographer out of the way like the guy was trying to shoot Belichick’s wife… or mistress.

And while Rich Eisen and the NFL crew try to make fun of the man hug in this clip, they don’t dare veer into the “Belichick is a pompous ass” territory. When asked about shoving the photographer, Belichick responded, “There were 80 people between me and Eric. I’m just trying to coach the team, that’s all.” How is that coaching a team? Will the rest of the Patriots be sore losers/gracious winners too?

Junior Seau comes out of retirement after 3 days



psych!

So much for the story that Junior Seau would retire as a Charger. Boltstalk said, “The good news: he will be signing a one day contract with the Chargers and will retire as a Charger. No date has been set for that. Given Junior’s honesty, I’m guessing it’ll be sooner rather than later.” Ooops.

Looks like Junior will be signing a contract but it’s a one-year $1M contract with the Patriots who need some help at the linebacker position with Tedy Bruschi hampered by wrist surgery.

Of course, Seau did say in his retirement press conference that he wasn’t retiring (“So please, understand when I say this.I’m not retiring. I am graduating. Today is my graduation day. Retirement means that you’ll just go ahead and live on your laurels and surf all day in Oceanside.It ain’t going to happen.”) so perhaps he meant graduating from the Dolphins to the Patriots. Either way, this is the fastest turnaround since Dan Marino decided he didn’t want the Dolphins VP of football operations job after three weeks.

Everyone who wrote the puff pieces on how great of a player Seau was can just save them and dust them off when he retires again next year.

We talkin’ bout practice!

As you might have heard, Tom Brady has missed two days of practice. Belichick won’t say why and somehow this is national news. In honor of this story, here is the classic Allen Iverson video.

Belichick is a homewrecker

Bill Belichick has been named in a New Jersey divorce case as “the other man”. Vincent Shenocca has accused his wife of having an affair with Belichick for the past several years. Belichick first met Sharon Shenocca when she was a receptionist with the New York Giants.

According to Shenocca, Belichick has been sending his wife cash and expensive gifts as well as flying her to Super Bowl XXXVIII in Houston.

Mrs. Shenocca reportedly is looking at posh pads in Brooklyn, N.Y. and her husband is questioning how she can afford pricey real estate when she doesn’t work.

Yes, it seems either she won the lottery and didn’t tell her husband or she’s having an affair with somebody rich. Sadly, a google search of “Sharon Shenocca” didn’t turn up any pics. We want..no… need to know what this woman looks like.

Hey Jackass, it’s a football not a lottery ticket

Remember the guy who tried to hold Livan Hernandez’s glove for ransom? I don’t think anyone really thought the Doug Floutie drop kick was that historic but apparently the Pro Football Hall of Fame does so they tried to track down the football. Well, some jackass in Boston is trying to hold the football for ransom.

Here are his demands:


1. Payment of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ($100,000.00) DOLLARS [lawyer’s capitals] on delivery of the football.

2. A guarantee of eight (8) season tickets for 25 years in the end zone (preferably sections 142 or 143).

a. The season tickets will be paid for annually by my client at the then going price for season tickets. The Patriots would not be expected to pay for the tickets.

3. Delivery by the Patriots to my client sometime in September, 2006, of a Tom Brady Patriots’ football jersey signed by all the team members as of the beginning of the next football season.

Thankfully, the New England Patriots told him to go cram it with walnuts. What a moron. If you want to get rich quick, all you have to do is sell an uneaten hot dog from a championship game.
