Someone is going directly to hell


Marquise Hill, the New England Patriots lineman who died in a jet ski accident last month was laid to rest on Saturday. On top of having to mourn her son, Hill’s mother Sherry came home from the funeral to find that $16,000 worth of stuff was stolen from her home. The burglars took a laptop and a television among other things.

Police haven’t made any arrests but they are working some leads. A New Orleans Police Department spokesman said that it might have been an opportunistic burglar who knew that everyone would be out of the house at the funeral. Once again, may we suggest a punishment of ferret legging when these criminals are caught.

By the way, check out this discussion thread on Snopes.com about the urban legend that there are burglars who read the obits and burglarize people while they’re at funerals.

Keep your wives and free agents away from Bill Belichick


After our failed attempt to track down Bill Belichick’s latest lady, we’re going to leave it up to the experts. The Inside Track girls are the Boston Herald have tracked down the real Linda Holliday that was spotted with Bill Belichick at the Final Four.


Linda Holliday, the mother of two preteen girls, is the mystery blonde Belichick took to the NCAA National Championship hoopla in Atlanta the other night. Holliday, we’re told, is in the process of divorcing Eugene “Butch” Holliday, a 53-year-old Arkansas businessman who is her third hubby.

Linda, we’re told, left Holliday and moved to Florida to be near her sister. She subsequently met Belichick and they began dating.

Now the couple was already separated so Bill can’t be given credit for breaking up yet another marriage, but he certainly didn’t help any reconciliation efforts.

So there you have it, that free agent signing spree over the winter? That wasn’t so much the Patriots being upset they lost to the Colts, it was just Belichick and his serial need to take what isn’t his.

P.S. This post comes with a bonus pic of Sharon Shennoca, the last marriage Belichick wrecked.

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 loves those Victoria Secrets models


We see you working, Brady. While the rest of us schmoes flip through the Victoria’s Secret catalog looking at the scenery, Tom Brady looks at it like a menu. According to the NY Post, Brady is gonna get through em by the time Rex Grossman throws his first interception with the second stringers in next year’s camp.


Tom Brady was spotted without his honey, Gisele Bundchen. However, he did have eyes for Bundchen’s fellow Victoria Secret model Selita Ebanks. A spy said, “He spent the whole night with Selita and left with her – he didn’t pay attention to any other girl.

We’ve asked it before… when does Tom Brady’s deal with the devil end?

And finally, this little quote from a female Patriots fan following last night’s Super Bowl: “To Peyton Manning: Our QB has 3 Super Bowls, and you’re ugly. So even when you win, we win.” Of course that makes no sense… unless you are a chick or Tom Brady, in which case it makes perfect sense.

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?

Another internet lesson

Yesterday, we showed you video of some dorky kid doing a variety of dunks on his basement nerf hoop set. Today, we bring you another lesson from the internet. Never call a game too early. While it probably happens all the time, rarely does it happen on something like Digg where people can keep surfacing it and reminding you what kind of idiot you are.

From Digg:

Patriots are going to the superbowl!! Peyton Cries – Brady dances midfield

Yea – it is currently 7:47pm and I’m calling it now – Patriots are winning 21-3 and Peyton is crying on the field already after not one but TWO sacks! Patriots are going to the superbowl!!!!

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?
