This is Tom Brady’s baby mama, Bridget Moynahan, and somehow, one of our readers saw in Harper’s Bazaar … so it’s cool to out an old source after they’ve died? … hey, it’s Lenny Clarke! … who is most promiscuous? … so now Mark Cuban’s brother is blogging? … Big Brown and Curlin, talkin’ smack … after a jump, a photo you’ll enjoy …

when does FNL come back again?

Never put “gully” and Doug Christie in the same sentence, unless you’re saying “he is the antithesis of…”

Bridget>>>Gisele
June 20th, 2008 at 8:18 am
here, here!

I was never a fan of Bridget before, but the two most recent pictures I’ve seen of her (the other one here I think was in a previous roundup with her in a nice little black number on a bed) were absolutely fantastic. Love that tight fitting dress.

Bridget right next to Sarah Jessica Parker in the dictionary definition of horse face. Gisele>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bridget

Bridget is*
damn, I’m kinda sleepy this morning
June 20th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Good Morning Lyla!

mmonast-
depends on what you got for service. DirectTv subscribers get FNL with a regular fall lineup. NBC will start airing it later in the year, January I believe, to cable or FiOS subscribers…so watch out for spoilers…
June 20th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Not cool to out a source after his passing…
June 20th, 2008 at 8:34 am
Never gonna happen.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:40 am
you guys are smoking something thinking Bridget is hotter than Gisele. I suggest you pick up the latest issue of GQ and look at her spread. Tom Brady is one lucky bastard. And he has Randy Moss to throw to. He has it made
That alligator is Florida is hilarious. It is mating season right now and i have a couple in my lake behind my house. Nothing like walking out to smoke a cig and you see a gator on your porch

So two pics of some pudgy girls counts as “Talent at the Celtics victory parade.”
I still think Euros are soft and can’t win. The Spurs don’t count, Popovich has some kind of foreign gummy berry juice, because those guys are the exception.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:49 am
So THAT is why I hate Adam Dunn. Also Lance Berkman = Adam Dunn, so that is why I hate him too.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Time to take a self-important walk around mid-town.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:51 am
thanks for the update sparty

“Your dad’s sick, mentally. He’s had some sort of breakdown. That’s what we understand.
The important thing is we find him, so nobody else gets hurt, himself included.
Come on, man, nobody’s gonna get hurt.
Hell, yeah. Our daddy wouldn’t hurt a motherfuckin’ fly.
No, he goes after bigger game.
We just got a report he put six bullets into a prize alligator’s head.
Poor thing’s lucky to be alive.”
June 20th, 2008 at 8:52 am
@maggs: i really don’t know anyone who likes Lance Berkman. he was automatically drafted to my fantasy team. i was pissed. i begged the guy who picked after to me to trade me Curtis Granderson for him straight up. thank god he didn’t make that trade though. i really would’ve looked like an idiot.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Duncan learned to play basketball in the states, he was a good swimmer in the Virgin Islands. Hmmm, swimmer becomes greatest PF ever? (Maybe Michael Phelps wins 8 golds, he is the greatest athlete….) Manu and Tony are the exceptions to the rule. The Euros that are really Gasolft are the big guys.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:53 am
Agreed, Coop. Plus, they’re like 14 years old. Kinda creepy. They haven’t even worked off their baby fat yet.
June 20th, 2008 at 8:55 am
/fixed for America
June 20th, 2008 at 8:58 am
@coop: So Euros can’t win unless they can win? I’m convinced.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Great read about Joey Gilletti from the Hoops World link. Gotta give it up to the 51 year old baller who still thinks he has something left in the tank. great quote by the guy: “I’m nobody special. I’m just a guy that loves basketball.”
June 20th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Nick, Pop knows how to make an international blend of gummi berry juice, Belichick has been making an american flavor for years.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:08 am
@tallguy, Yoo’s crazy! if ms. brady’s baby momma is a horse face, sign me up to stud any day.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Minka is all kinds of hot. so is Bridget. Horse face schmorse face.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Yeah no way about Bridget, its not like she has one of web site like this
June 20th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Good thing the Red Wings don’t employ any Euros.
Oops, I forgot, Whitlock did not mention hockey.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:18 am
The dad losing to his daughter in court fucking sucks. A fucking judge can tell you when and how to punish your child. That shit wouldn’t work in America. Bridget and Giselle are both hot and Brady has dipped his magic stick in both so does it really matter.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:20 am
irish mafia has my back…Gisele spanks Bridget easily. Plus she’s younger.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:22 am
Oh yeah…did you see this one? Yum! (Not a rickroll, but borderline NSFW)
June 20th, 2008 at 9:24 am
jb’s right, any one of us would gladly take on Bridget or Gisele.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Stop rick rolling people. It is lame. PLus it makes it so I will never click a link again. Som eof you Gatsbys don’t have jobs, good for you.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:35 am
I don’t think the Novak column was blatently outing a source. He said Russert was a source close to thirty years ago and that they were two journalists that discussed info…it’s not like he outed deep throat…I thought it was a good tribute from a friend
June 20th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Scary precedent.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:45 am
did anyone hear Pam Ward on the TK show this morning? i turned it on in the middle of the interview and didn’t hear the introduction. but i swore it was a guy the whole time. then he just referenced Pam Ward being on and it made me crack up. (s)he’s such a butch.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:52 am
My link is not a rickroll. But, if you click on it you’ll probably wish it was Rick Astley!
.
I do enjoy when the commenters drop literary references.
June 20th, 2008 at 9:56 am
Some of you Gatsbys don’t have jobs

Hey 412, you see your boy BDD’s latest column over at DS?
June 20th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Bridget vs Gisele = Pepperoni vs Sausage… They are ALL good!
June 20th, 2008 at 10:03 am
MikeNYC - Yeah, I saw that. Aside from the weak–nonexistent really–logic, it was actually mildly amusing.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:04 am
Euro’s are soft, but Manu is South American. We’ve talked about this before. South American players (Manu, Nene, Skola, Nocioni) are not soft at all. Unless they get a job with the Lakers…
June 20th, 2008 at 10:24 am
@412 - Never underestimate the stupidity of the voting public.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Class.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:26 am
@ purduematt: agreed. I mean they picked the worst president in history over a guy who soon thereafter won a Nobel Prize… then voted for him again.

Well, August, that was two people. This is one of the most prolific magazines in the country.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:37 am
now, now…aren’t we being a little tigerbolic?
June 20th, 2008 at 10:38 am
I’m surprised Rolling Stone would print that… definitely in poor taste.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:39 am
@ mizerle06: who is worse? Even Nixon did some good.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:42 am
These were sold at a Republican State Convention.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:43 am
I think JFK was much worse. Punkass didn’t even finish his term.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Jimmy Carter ring any bells?
June 20th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Jimmy Carter ring any bells?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA… you’re kidding right?
Do nothing>fuck everything up always.
June 20th, 2008 at 10:58 am
@August West - you are hopeless.
June 20th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Well…we’ll have to agree to disagree on pretty much all things related to American politics and leave it at that. We can have our discussions, but at the end of the day I don’t believe that those of us with stronly-held convictions are going to be persuaded. I do appreciate that, of late anyway, the discussions have been at least civil.
So…we disagree on politics, but we can always talk about the really big issues of the day: breakfast cereal, Kobe/LBJ, and WAGs. WAGs bring the whole group together…

@412: Absolutely. I love the banter back and forth… not trying to change anyone’s mind, but I hate the sound of righteous convictions in a vacuum. Reasonable dissent keeps keeps us all honest.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
@sparty… I have Real close friends from VI and they were either related to or very close to Tim D’s family. Duncan was a great swimmer ala The Dream was great at soccer growing up
