So we love Penelope Cruz. So what? … 27 states are in recession, with 14 more on the cusp … the more Starbucks a country has, the bigger its financial problems … Yahoo is cutting 1,500 jobs, no word if sports will be affected … interesting lawsuit here … another athlete/celebrity tandem bites the dust …

Alt/Greschner bit the dust a long time ago.
And if she was a supermodel, she wouldn’t be suing Gresch for all that dough.

Isn’t Alt still “married” to Yashin? I know they weren’t technically wed – seems like she’s trying to golddig money out of 2 NHLers at once.
She ain’t messin’ with no brokey broke
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:23 am
I don’t know if her and Yashin are a couple anymore…he’s over playing in Russia, while she’s still here trying her best to remain relevant.

TBL – Did you ever see the movie “Bandidas” with Penelope Cruz and Selma Hayak? Extremely stupid movie, but they are both so damned hot it is hard to not enjoy parts of it.

Karma is a bitch.
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:36 am
Ok you are bordering on obsession here.

TBL, Penelope is ALWAYS a +1.
And I can’t wait for Fred Norris’ next Carol Alt rant. Priceless.

This seems like excessive gushing of Rashard Lewis, no?
No

Did Tom Brady use Charlie Weis’ doctor?
October 23rd, 2008 at 8:50 am
have not seen Bandidas.
good question re: Weis. very good.

that whole story is just sad…for as great a warrior as holyfield was in the ring, his brain just couldn’t take the punishment. nobody’s question his balls as he had some of the most legedary battles as a glorified light heavyweight going against guys he gave up 20-30 lbs to, but the dude is permanently punch drunk…just sad.

What happened to the post-a-day on the game of the week?
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:06 am
and that leach/mangino article was fantastic…great find, TBL.

Alt and Gresch got divorced like 15 years ago…she was rocking Yashin’s world the last I checked.
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:18 am
Love me some Penelope Cruz.
October 23rd, 2008 at 9:37 am
Seriously, if she was a supermodel, she would not be needing the money. Fred was right, as he most always is.
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:13 am
Alt’s been with some other hockey player, name escapes me, for years now.
Excellent P. Cruz pic!

Brady’s just milking the sympathy on the injury so that any comeback could be more dramatical and suited for another ESPN circle jerk.

Tirico might want to look in the mirror the next time he calls somebody spoiled.
