First Photo of Ray and Janay Rice After Baltimore Ravens Terminated His Contract

Wednesday, September 10, 2014

A quick thinking paparazzi apparently ordered flowers to be delivered to the Baltimore home of former NFL player Ray Rice on Tuesday. The photog snapped shots of the embattled couple as they answered the door to accept the flowers.
The exclusive photos were published in today’s NY Post.

Janay Rice, 26, came to the door looking disheveled and fretful, while Ray Rice, 27, looked agitated and appeared to be yelling at the delivery men.
In a social media post on Monday, Janay blamed the media and public opinion for her husband’s problems.
Ray Rice was terminated by the Baltimore Ravens after shocking video footage surfaced of him knocking out his wife in the elevator at a now shuttered Atlantic City casino. Video footage released earlier by gossip tabloid TMZ showed Rice dragging his unconscious wife out of the elevator.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell claims he never saw the new video footage before suspending Rice for just 2 games. But a NJ cop told ESPN he sent the new video footage to a NFL executive in April.
In related news, champion boxer and convicted wife beater Floyd Mayweather defended Ray Rice, saying the NFL should have honored Rice’s 2-game suspension.

Michael Jordan, wife Yvette welcome birth of twin daughters

Michael Jordan and his second wife, Yvette, welcomed the birth of identical twin daughters in Florida on Sunday.
The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Estee Portnoy, Jordan’s spokeswoman, confirmed the Feb. 9 births of Victoria and Ysabel.
“Yvette Jordan and the babies are doing well and the family is overjoyed at their arrival,” Portnoy said in a statement.

Jordan and Yvette Prieto, a former model, dated for a number of years before getting engaged in December 2011. They were married in an elaborate Florida wedding ceremony back in April 2013 and word of Yvette’s pregnancy first surfaced last November.

The children are Jordan’s fourth and fifth. The Bulls legend divorced his first wife, Juanita, in 2006 after 17 years of marriage. They have three children — Jeffrey (25), Marcus (23) and Jasmine (21) — together. Both Jeffrey and Marcus played college basketball and Jasmine is currently in college.
After a Hall of Fame career that included six championships with the Bulls in the 1990s, Jordan retired from basketball in 2003, becoming majority owner of the Bobcats in 2010.
Jordan, 50, had relocated to Florida with Yvette, 35, in recent years. Back in October, he decided tried to auction off his Chicago-area mansion after it failed to fetch its original $29 million asking price. The house did not receive any bids that met the auction’s $13 million reserve price.
“My kids are grown now and I don’t need a large house in Chicago,” Jordan told the Wall Street Journal at the time. “It was time for some warmer weather down at my new home in Florida.”

Love & Marriage in the NFL

One of our favorite subjects...Love and Marriage.

This is a good story.  We may even buy the book.

From GaPeach913:

 

Another NBA...Marriage & Divorce

Wow....This NBA marriage....divorce...court hearings is indeed color blind.  No, this is not a Shaq...or a Kolby....

It's one of our favorite white guys....Steve Nash!

From our friends at TMZ.com:

Steve Nash
L.A. Is a TERRIBLE
Place to Raise Kids

Exclusive

Steve Nash -- who plays for the LOS ANGELES Lakers -- just trashed L.A. in open court ... claiming the City of Angels is NO PLACE to raise a family.

Nash slammed L.A. on the stand in his legal war with ex-wife Alejandra ... saying point blank, "I don't want my kids to grow up in L.A."

Raising kids in L.A.

• Good idea
• Bad idea

Nash said he would consider raising his kids in San Diego ... but only because "it's a different lifestyle."

Of course, Alejandra doesn't believe that -- she thinks Steve's trying to block her from moving the kids to L.A. because the Arizona courts aren't making him pay a penny in child support and he's afraid a California judge would nail him.

MJ...Does It....Again

I don't know...I Just don't know.   I have been married...divorced.   Met a lot of women.  Been with a lot of women.

I once thought I was in love.   Being ..."in love" ...doesn't necessarily means you actually love the individual.   And...you can love someone...without..."being in love".

Making no sense?

Clarification try....I love my ex-wife...the mother of my daughter...but I'm not in love with her.   Which leads us to marriages and divorces.

Michael Jordan has been married ...divorced.   Now he wants to try this marriage thing once again.

And once again...we ask,  Is he in love?   Or...does he really love her?

Hoops Before "Hoes"?

This is too funny...

From our friends at TMZ.com:

 

Kris Humphries
I Chose Basketball
Over Kim's Depo

Exclusive

Kris Humphries is true to the adage, Hoops before Hoes ... and that's precisely why he was a no-show at Kim Kardashian's deposition.

You'll recall ... Kris' lawyer, Lee Hutton, talked about Kris' constitutional right to look Kim in the eyes as she testified under oath about their short-lived marriage.

So why, you ask, did Kris miss that golden opportunity? Sources close to the BBaller tell TMZ ... Kris had practice and travel obligations Tuesday, as Kim sat for her marathon, 9-hour depo. He had just finished a game Monday night in Michigan, had practice Tuesday and was traveling later that day to Dallas for a Wednesday game.

We're told Kris is adamant about one thing -- attending the May 6 trial, even if it conflicts with the playoffs. So hoes don't always come in second.

If You Don't Have the Proof....

A big high five is due to our man Michael Jordan.   Seems this female who brought a paternity suit against "MJ" ....for a child fathered 16 years ago...has had second thoughts and has withdrawn her suit.

Mr. Jordan, a fierce competitor on the basketball court....counter sued this female.  

Obviously,  she had no proof.   She was going after the money.

Good for you Michael!

True Love??? For MJ???

Hey now.......we're all for people being happy.   Even if your name is Michael Jordan.

Apparently....MJ.....has not learned a thing or two in his previous relationship with the former Mrs. Jordan.   (Sport Divorces - Michael Jordan )

Wonder how much this will cost him....Marriage.....and you know they'll eventually divorce.

What a waste........But......hey,  it could be true love.

Love & Marriage.......Manny Style

Manny can be Manny again.........though not with his wife!

Leave it to TMZ.com ....to give us the real scoop:

Judge to Manny Ramirez:
You Can Talk to Your Wife Again

Manny Ramirez is once again allowed to speak to his wife Juliana -- nearly two months after he was arrested for allegedly slapping her in the face.

TMZ broke the story ... Manny was booked for domestic violence and battery on September 12 -- and a day after the alleged incident, a judge issued a no contact order -- temporarily blocking Manny from speaking to Juliana, or contacting her in any way.

Lawyers for both parties showed up to court today in Florida -- and we're told, both sides agreed to lift the restraining order ... a request the judge granted.

But while Manny may now speak to his wife, he still can't live with her ... for now, at least. The next hearing is scheduled for December 14.

Ouch!!!! Love & Marriage

What can we say?   Love & Marriage?


A thin line between love and hate?

Ouch?

California woman cuts off husband's penis

Catherine Kieu Becker allegedly laced her husband's dinner with a drug

 

A US woman drugged her estranged husband, tied him to a bed and cut off his penis, police in California say.

The woman then threw the penis into the waste disposal and told police who attended the incident in Garden Grove, near Los Angeles: "He deserved it."

Catherine Kieu Becker, 48, has been charged with poisoning and assault with a deadly weapon.

The 51-year-old victim, who has not been named, is in a serious condition following surgery.

Lt Jeff Nightengale, of Garden Grove police, said the two are going through a divorce.

He said the woman had drugged the man's dinner on Monday night.

"He believed something was wrong with his food," he said.

"The victim went to lie down and he woke up tied to the bed with his wife tugging his clothes off.

"The female cut off his penis with a knife... tossed the penis in the garbage disposal and turned the disposal to the 'on' position.

"The suspect called 911 and told responding officers that he 'deserved it'."

He added: "Officers arrived and located a male victim tied to the bed and bleeding from his groin area."

Ms Becker was arrested on suspicion of aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, poisoning and spousal abuse.

She is due to appear in court on Wednesday.
 

A Thin Line...Between Love & Hate

Somebody's going to die....in this volatile relationship.

Brandon Marshall of Miami Dolphins Stabbed by Wife, Police Say

By Thailan Pham

The wife of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall stabbed the NFL star with a kitchen knife, according to police.

Michi Nogami-Marshall, who married Marshall last July, was arrested Friday night for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, reports Sportsillustrated.com.

"This is a very difficult time for Brandon and family, thankfully he will make a full recovery," Marshall's agent said in a statement.

The Broward County Sheriff's Office arrest report noted that evidence at the crime scene did not support Marshall's earlier claim that his injuries had been caused by falling on a broken glass vase. Nogami-Marshall, 26, told police she was defending herself from Marshall, 27, according to the report.

She is currently being held in jail under a $7,500 bond.

This isn't the first time the couple have been in trouble with police. In March 2009, a fight between the couple, who were engaged at the time, resulted in Marshall's arrest for misdemeanor battery, SI.com reports. Charges were dropped when neither party agreed to testify.

A ..."Zero Tolerance"....Act

The University of Pittsburgh fired a football coach.    A coach who never actually  coached a game.   An African-American.......The 2010 Mid-American Conference "Coach of the year".

We applaud.....the University.

Michael Haywood  was arrested for a domestic violence charge....against a woman who had fathered one of his kids.

We applaud the University of Pitt.....for not making excuses.....not postponing judgments and actions.

Putting your hands ....to do harm...on a helpless female....we find repulsive.

New Pitt coach fired after release from jail

Sunday, January 02, 2011

By Paul Zeise and Bill Brink, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Matt Freed/Post-Gazette

Michael Haywood

The University of Pittsburgh fired newly hired football coach Michael Haywood one day after he was jailed on a felony domestic abuse charge in Indiana -- just 16 days after he was introduced as a leader who would bring discipline to the program.

The ouster Saturday of Mr. Haywood, 46, left the university's football program in disarray, without a head coach to lead the team in the BBVA Compass Bowl against Kentucky Saturday in Birmingham, Ala., and without a coach to recruit high school players during a crucial period that ends with the athletes signing letters of commitment Feb. 2.

Love & Divorce........Dodger Style

Our only concern.....

"Who get's the L. A. Dodgers?"

From our friends at ....TMZ.com:

McCourts Declare Impasse Over L.A. Dodgers

11/30/2010 4:05 PM PST by TMZ Staff  

Frank and Jamie McCourt have failed to agree on a property settlement in their divorce -- a settlement that could determine the fate of the Los Angeles Dodgers.



The McCourts had until today to accept the settlement proposal by an L.A. Superior Court judge.   Frank's lawyer says his client accepted the proposal, but apparently Jamie did not.

Jamie's resistance suggests the judge may have felt Jamie gave her rights to the Dodgers away when she signed a division of property agreement with Frank during their marriage. 

So now ... another judge --  Scott Gordon of Mel Gibson fame -- will decide next month ... who gets the Dodgers.

Her Diary.......His Diary

Men and women.....are just different.   Period!

From GaPeach913:

Women and men are so different. 

________________________________________________________________________________

Her Diary:

Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. 

We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner.

I was shopping with my friends all day long, So I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late,
but he made no comment on it. 

Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere  quiet so we could talk.  He agreed, but
he didn't say much. 

I asked Him what was wrong;  He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that He was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.
.
On the way home, I told him that I loved him.  He Smiled slightly, and
kept driving.  I can't explain his behavior I don't know Why he didn't
say, 'I love you, too.'  

When we got home, I felt as if I had Lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.  He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent.

Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About  15
Minutes later, he came to bed.

To my surprise, he responded to my caress, And we made love. But I still felt that he was distracted, and
his thoughts were somewhere else. 

He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm Almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.  

My life is a disaster.
 


His Diary:

Boat wouldn't start today.  Can't figure it out, but at least I got laid.
