Update: Lozada Files for Divorce

14 Aug

Evelyn Lozada has filed for divorce from Chad Ochocinco Johnson after 41-days of marriage. I think Lozada has just grounds for filing for divorce seeing as how Johnson was cheating and then head-butted her after being confronted. Then after 911 was called and Johnson was arrested he claimed that Lozada head-butted him despite having no injures to back it up.

When asked for comment Johnson said, “‘I am going to let the legal process run its course. I wish Evelyn nothing but the best, I have no negative words to say about her, the only thing I can say is I love her very much.” I think I would believe that more if he had confessed to head-butting her and apologized. Johnson claims he is refocusing on training so he can continue his NFL career. Although I think it will be a long time before any NFL team wants to go anywhere near him.

With all this publicity I wonder if VH1 should reconsider shelving their reality show . . . it might have gotten them some huge ratings.

Red Sox Lose Icon: Johnny Pesky dies at 92

14 Aug

Johnny Pesky played with the Boston Red Sox during his ten year baseball career. His baseball career last more than 60 years with the Red Sox where he managed, served, was a broadcaster as well as being a player. He died on Monday at the age of 92. The right field foul pole at Fenway will forever be called the “Pesky Pole” for the time that Pesky hit a home run that went around the pole. Even at the age of 92 he managed to make it out for the 100th birthday of Fenway Park where he was wheeled out to second base. And luckily the last Red Sox game he saw was a winning one.

Evelyn Lozada Speaks Out

14 Aug

Evelyn Lozada issued a statement today concerning her heat butting incident with her estranged husband Chad Ochocinco Johnson. She said the following: “I am deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions and made false accusations against me. It is my sincere hope that he seeks the help he needs to overcome his troubles. Domestic violence is not okay and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well.”

It is crazy that Johnson even tried to claim Lozada head-butted him since she was the one with a gash in her forehead. And why would Lozada run to the neighbor for help if she was the one who was violent? I think it is good that Lozada is setting a positive example by standing up against domestic violence. Which if you read some comments on stories about the incident  you will see is necessary. There are multiple men who wrote, “you need to put a woman in her place” messages. I think that if you find a receipt for condoms as a wife you have a right to question your husband.

Things have gotten even worse for Lozada who found out last night that her brother in law, Anthony Ochoa, died of cancer. Ochoa walked Lozada down the aisle a month ago. He was married to Lozada’s sister, Sylvia, for ten years.

This is all such sad news. Let’s hope things start getting better for Lozada.

The Reality Show I Can’t Wait For

14 Aug

We all know how much everyone loves or loves to hate on swimmer Ryan Lochte. As it turns out that is the perfect combination needed for a reality star. For evidence consider how many Kardashian love/haters there are in the world. Lochte has been offered to star in three different reality shows. Although nothing is confirmed I can only hope that his mother is a major part of the show. Any mom who is willing to openly express her son’s love for a one-night stand is perfect for reality stardom.

Lochte has already expressed his willingness to go on “Dancing with the Stars”. Michael Phelps has also expressed interested in the show. Leaving the media to salivate over the idea of another Phelps/Lochte showdown. While Phelps has all the time in the world to work on reality television Lochte is still training for the Olympics in Rio 2016. So I can only imagine any show about Lochte’s life is going to involve a lot of time in the pool. Lochte needs to keep swimming to keep his sponsors happy. Fortune Magazine estimates that Lochte will be making $2.3 million in endorsements this year.

 

But with Lochte incredible hotness . . . I think I could watch him do almost anything well except for peeing in the pool. This is just nasty.

Tebow Saving One Team at a Time

14 Aug

If it wasn’t clear that Tim Tebow thinks he is the savoir of football from his stopping of selling Jets’ Jesus t-shirts than this photo really does clarify it. GQ is re-printing a controversial photo of Tebow posing like Jesus which was taken back in his Florida days. People are now calling it the “sexy Jesus” pose. Some Christians are not digging the photo and think Jesus should not be made into a sexual object. I think it is great to be Christian but the real conversation should be on football.

The real question to sports fans is will Tebow eventually push Jets’ starting quarterback Mark Sanchez out of the way. In the first preseason game both quarterbacks were pretty underwhelming. Sanchez completed 4 of his 6 passes with 21 yards. Tebow completed 4 of 8 passes with 27 yards but gained 34 yards running. The Jets lost the game to the Cincinnati Bengals 17-6. What Tebow has that Sanchez doesn’t is his ability to run the ball. And although the word is still that Sanchez is their man, many are speculating that they are designing plays around Tebow.

You can’t turn on Sports Center without hearing about the Jets’ secretly trying out the Wildcat offense with Tebow. Yes, it is baffling to me too how something can be a secret when everyone is talking about it. Wildcat formation has been around forever and the only reason people are talking about it is because Tebow is involved. And the reason they are talking about using Tebow rather than Sanchez is that the play involves more running than passing. Regardless of the Tebow factor the Jets are not looking like they are going to have a stellar season.
