Flying Blind: An NFL Hero, a Prominent College Coach, and an ‘Assistant’
Uncategorized January 11th. 2007, 3:17pm
We’re not fans of blind items. Really, we should just come out and say what we mean. Problem is, sometimes the junk we’re hearing is a bit on the libelous side, and well, the lawyer told us if we want to keep the .18 cents we made off google ads Wednesday, we should not use names. You won’t know the female in this item (though she is googleable), but you definitely are familiar with the two males:
There’s an extremely young gorgeous blonde ‘assistant’ from the Midwest who has allegedly bedded a nearly-retired NFL star quarterback … and she’s also supposedly had a ‘close’ relationship with a prominent college basketball coach for a few years. How close? When he switched coaching jobs a couple years ago, she changed schools, too.
Nobody correctly guessed our last blind item in October, which is probably a good thing.

Obviously the QB is Brad Johnson (oh – you said _star_?). The coach is tougher – Bill Self? Bo Ryan?
January 11th, 2007 at 3:38 PM
Brett Favre, Tim Floyd, Heide the Hottie from the Apprentice. Will this post be deleted because I’m so right?
January 11th, 2007 at 3:44 PM
Trent Green and Bill Self.

Prominent Hoops Coach?
Larry Eustachy – More than a couple years ago.
Bill Self – Fits the description but damn it he’s my coach.
Bruce Webber – Fits the description as well.
Nearly retired Star QBs that might have something to do with the midwest?
The aforementioned B. Johnson – don’t know enough about him.
Trent Green – Doubtful.
Brian Griese – Is he considered near retirement or just out of work? Um, not a Star QB.
The Big Lead – More hints please. I feel like I’m playing Clue.

Damn! I never figure these things out. It’s like I turn into a 5-year-old trying to decipher calculus problems.

Favre and Roy Williams?
January 11th, 2007 at 4:05 PM
Wow.
Favre! He’s nearly retired. Good call Walfredo.
He’s the favorite. Now Bo Ryan makes a lot of sense.
January 11th, 2007 at 4:05 PM
Definately favre. As for the coach, I’d guess Roy Williams but it could really be anyone.
January 11th, 2007 at 4:11 PM
Last comment: The QB has been guessed, the coach not yet.

Favre’s personal assistant is named in NFL.com article from 2006 around the time of “will he or won’t he” retire talk. Silly me. that’s all the time. Anyhow…

Bob Knight
He could totally pull it off. At least I’m sure he thinks so.
January 11th, 2007 at 4:19 PM
I’ll go with Brett Favre (nearly retired star QB from Wisconsin) and Bruce Weber (prominent college coach who left Milwaukee-Wisconsin for Illiniois in 2003)
January 11th, 2007 at 4:24 PM
I’ll go with a wild-care (going along with the Wisco theme) – Bruce Pearl. Maybe she prefers Members of the Tribe and followed him down to Tennessee.
January 11th, 2007 at 4:26 PM
* wild card
January 11th, 2007 at 4:29 PM
Damn you, TBL … how can you mention “an extremely young gorgeous blonde” and not provide a photo? Who cares who the QB and college coach are, I want to see the babe.
January 11th, 2007 at 4:30 PM
I thought Weber as well but TBL says no.
Tom Crean? – He switched jobs more than a couple years ago.
January 11th, 2007 at 4:36 PM
B. Johnson is married to Mark Richt’s ssiter and loves Jesus a bit too much, so let’s assume that it is Farve. Midwest coaches who changed jobs a few years ago not already mentioned include Huggins, Quinn Snyder, and Thad Matta.
My guess than is Matta and Favre.
January 11th, 2007 at 4:46 PM
Bruce Pearl. She must like her men sweaty. Didn’t he coach one of the Wisconsin city schools?
January 11th, 2007 at 4:50 PM
Brett Favre, Bruce Pearl, and this girl:

is “assistant” code for fluffer?
January 11th, 2007 at 5:25 PM
KC – he took UW-Milwaukee (a no. 12) to the Sweet Sixteen a couple years ago before losing to Illinois. The next year he went to TN.
January 11th, 2007 at 5:41 PM
The only assistant I could find was Becky Stuart, a personal assistant for the Favre family and executive director of the Deanna Favre Hope Foundation.
January 11th, 2007 at 5:48 PM
Jeff Garcia and Pat Summit sounds right.
January 11th, 2007 at 6:05 PM
Rob I –
Is you link correct? If so, someone diabled that site real fast.
Thanks, Tobias.
January 11th, 2007 at 6:06 PM
Gotta be Favre and Pearl.
January 11th, 2007 at 6:18 PM
Definitely Farrrvvv-ra and Tim Floyd. Timmy offered an attractive female friend (not that I probably needed to clarify said friend as female) tickets to a Bulls game several years ago among many other unsolicited “invitations.” Hiiiiiiiii-000000000000000!!!!!
January 11th, 2007 at 6:34 PM
Sorry I’m a jerk.
January 11th, 2007 at 7:11 PM
Spot – Floyd was already guessed above.
January 11th, 2007 at 7:26 PM
I’m just throwing this out there, but is it Ben Howland?
January 11th, 2007 at 8:40 PM
Favre and Bruce Pearl
January 11th, 2007 at 10:10 PM
I was not reading the Big Lead in October, but Erin Andrews was linked to Chipper in Atlanta by rumor, so it might not be a reach to have linked Javy Lopez with her later on.
As for this one, I have no guess, but unless I see pictures of her I have no opinion
January 12th, 2007 at 10:52 AM
Frank sinkwich, have you seen Thad Matta?
January 12th, 2007 at 4:02 PM
Favre and Kelvin Sampson
January 13th, 2007 at 10:41 PM
Since it doesn’t say that when he started at his new school he was coaching at college immediatly prior, I am gonna guess Pitino and Favre. Also, any other guess has already been taken.

Favre and Dick Bennett – Left UWGB to go to Wisconsin back in the day when Favre was known to be quite the ladies man around GB back in the Vicodin and Jack Daniels days.
