USC student Teague Egan certified as NFL agent; raises many red flags because of past NCAA violations

The USC Trojans are trying to change a tarnished image after its football program was accused of a flurry of NCAA player violations, but that may be hard to do now that a USC student has been certified an NFL agent by the NFL Players Association.

Teague Egan is a senior at USC and is known for his golf cart chauffeur business, but he has now upgraded his business endeavors to be an NFL agent.

Egan has the finical backing of his father who owns Alamo Car Rental and told the LA Times he hopes to represent between four in six of his friends who play football at USC in the upcoming NFL draft. Egan said:

“Like [famed NFL agent] Drew Rosenhaus who represented every Miami kid after going to school at Miami, I intend to represent every USC kid.”

Tom Brady the new spokesman for UGGs

Tom Brady is the new spokesman for UGGs.  Angel Martinez, the CEO of UGGs parent company Deckers Outdoor Corp made the announcement on CNBC’s Mad Money. Martinez told host Jim Cramer:

“We have decided that we needed to just get the word out there that it’s a brand for guys,“give guys permission to wear UGG. And who better to give guys permission to wear UGG than … Tom Brady.”

The New England Patriots quarterback and five-time Pro Bowler is already an UGG wearer, which first attracted Martinez to get Brady to endorse the steyotypical woman’s boot. “He’s the guy every guy I know wants to be,” Martinez said.

Opinions are mixed on whether Brady will be the Rosetta Stone to convience guys that UGGs are cool… when you are a two-time Super Bowl MVP and married to a Victoria Secret model you can get away with things the average guy cannot. What’s next… Tom Brady endorsing Herbal Essence shampoo for men?

Rex Ryan and Tom Brady both married to super models

NY Jets head coach Rex Ryan is known for his flamboyant personality and his coaching abilities (the Jets are currently tied for first place in the AFC East), but few would compare him to Tom Brady. But that is exactly what Ryan told reporters today at a press conference.

“I never realized how similar that I am to Tom Brady. I mean, the obvious physical appearance would be the first thing. The fact that he’s married to a supermodel? Hello?” Ryan said.

Of course, Brady is married to super model Gisele Bundchen Ryan’s wife of 23 years, Michelle Ryan posed for an ad for ShopNFL.com that is in the newest issue of InStyle Magazine.

“Yeah, I’m also married to a supermodel,” Ryan said. ” I just happened to turn the page of InStyle magazine, page 329, and I just realized that we are very similar in that way.”

The 300 plus lb. NFL coach told reporters he was reading InStyle to broaden his fashion horizons, “obviously, with the wardrobe that I have, I’m one of those kind of guys. I was just thumbing through there and just happened to notice that. Page 329.”

One similarity I am willing to bet Ryan and Brady do not have in common, is that Ryan wouldn’t leave his pregnant girlfriend… #TEAMRYAN

Reggie Bush engaged to new girlfriend Mayra Veronica & NOT Kim Kardashian

Reggie Bush is allegedly engaged to his new girlfriend of 6 months Mayra Veronica… who isn’t Kim Kardashian. Personally, I’m not buying it, but the hashtag is trending on Twitter and this is Thejerseychaser.com.

Mayra Veronica is a Cuban born singer and actress who was spotted wearing an engagement ring at the Latin Grammy Awards. @MayraVeronica has posted pictures of her wearing the ring on Twitter since August. Veronica is the rumored “other woman” who Reggie Bush cheated on Kim Kardashian with.

There has been no official statement released by Veronica or Bush’s people. In the past, Veronica has used Bush to gain publicity, even wearing a signed Bush jersey while grocery shopping earlier this month.

Reggie Bush dated Kim Kardashian for three years but broke up with the star because of her life in the public eye…. makes you wonder what Bush thinks of Veronica’s publicity antics.
