A newly single Tiger Woods is on the prowl at the Ryder Cup. After much speculation if he would even make the team for the US, Tiger was at the Ryder Cup opening ceremonies in Wales and eyed singer Katherine Jenkins. Jenkins preformed at the opening ceremonies and is a popular crossover singer in Europe. Unfortunately for Tiger she has a live-in boyfriend, Gethin Jones… but that hasn’t stopped Tiger before.
Since winning the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks, Kris Versteeg has had some bad luck. The 24-year old forward was first traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have failed to make the playoffs for the past five seasons. Now, after winning the Cup, Versteeg’s name has been misspelled on the Hockey Holy Grail. The S and the T were reversed in Versteeg’s name, but he is taking the tyepo in stride.
“It’s kind of funny. I may never be one of the biggest names in the game but now it’ll go down in history as one of the misspells on the Stanley Cup so I’ll take it,” Versteeg said. “It’s just a perfect example of my life. Just something crazy and quirky that’s always happening to me.”
ESPN aims for a female audience with its new brand ESPNW… maybe they were reading www.thjerseychaser.com and got the idea?!?!
Laura Gentile ESPN Vice President said “Women see us as an admirable brand that has authority. But they see us as their father’s brand, or husband’s brand, or boyfriend’s brand. They recognize it’s not theirs.” And it is no wonder, over 76% of ESPN’s viewership are males.
The idea will first start off as a blog and then transition into a television channel. Thejerseychaser.com is excited to see what’s to come and is hoping for an E! meets ESPN! And not like the ESPN Hollywood show that was a bust in 2005!
On Tuesday, the Cincinnati Reds clinched their first division title and playoff appearance in 15-years. The Reds beat the Houston Astros 3-2, when outfielder Jay Bruce hit a walkoff home run. Celebrating in style, players smoked victory cigars in the clubhouse, causing five Cincinnatians, who were at home watching the game, to call the Health Department to report a violation.
Under Ohio law, no one can smoke indoors, which includes baseball parks. The Heath Department will send Reds owner Bob Castellini an official letter notifying him of the violation.Within the next 30 days, a health inspector will make an unannounced visit to the clubhouse to investigate further violations. If he finds anyone smoking in the clubhouse, the Reds will be fined $100.00. (more…)
