Odds and Ends: Chris Pronger is sick of the rumors

Chris Pronger DID NOT nail her

Chris Pronger told the Edmonton Journal that he knew his demand to be traded wouldn’t go over well with Oilers fans but he is tired of all the rumors and speculation about his private life and what lead to his request to be traded.

I’ve heard all the nasty stuff, about all my girlfriends…that I’ve got more kids than I started with. I must have six kids out there.

It started off with I slept with so-and-so, and I’m having kids, then it moved to my wife sleeping with some of my teammates. I was supposed to be having a kid with a reporter, then she said, ‘I don’t know what they’re talking about.’ Then it went from story to story.

For the record, Pronger denies the rumors about any of the Christys he is supposed to have gotten pregnant.

Yesterday, we reported on the rumor behind Chris Pronger’s trade request was because his wife was upset he got a local television reporter pregnant. Well, the rumor probably isn’t true and Christie Chorley, the alleged baby momma in the rumor has issued this statement on her website.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM CHRISTIE CHORLEY

JUNE 29, 2006

ANY RUMORS AND/OR SPECULATION ABOUT MY INVOLVEMENT WITH THE CURRENT CHRIS PRONGER SITUATION IS COMPLETELY, ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT FALSE.

I would appreciate your help in putting an end to my name being linked to this situation, as it is completely WITHOUT ANY MERIT OR FACTUAL BASIS.

Any further slander or defamation can and will result in swift legal action.

From the ALL CAPS, you can tell Christie is VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS. But still, is a speculative rumor really grounds for a slander or defamation lawsuit?

Of course he’s a soccer fan!
