Steve Nash’s  Ex-Wife Gives Birth To Black Baby?

Steve Nash’s Ex-Wife Gives Birth To Black Baby?

In December, Steve Nash filed for divorce from his wife just a day after she had a baby, and now we have found out the reason behind the divorce.

Rumors were speculating that Nash had left his wife because she gave birth to a black baby, leading to the obvious discovery of infidelity and cheating.

The allegations were confirmed when Aljejandra gave birth to a black baby, and now the farther is said to be Nash’s former teammate Jason Richardson.

The Suns abruptly traded Richardson to the Orlando Magic in December, around the same time the baby was born, which only ignites the rumors and speculations even more.

Apparently the “black baby” was just a rumor, and pictures have been released to dispel it.

Rays Fall To 1-8 With Loss To White Sox

CHICAGO — Joe Maddon said Sunday’s sixth-inning tantrum directed at the umpires had nothing to do with the Rays’ awful record and silent bats, that he would have been just as enraged if the Rays had won all but one of their games.

But B.J. Upton saw a little more fire than he expected from his manager’s reaction to a puzzling call, especially when Maddon pointed to all four umpires and ejected them from the game with the White Sox, which Tampa Bay eventually lost 6-1 at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Rays dropped to 1-8 after the White Sox reached Jeff Niemann for five runs (three earned) in the first three innings and the Rays’ offense produced its fifth four-hit, one-run game of the season.

NCAA Produces Unlikely Champions

The NCAA, the grand pooh-bah of college sports, just completed its version of March Madness and it produced two unlikely champions in men and women’s basketball.

In the women’s division, Texas A&M defeated Notre Dame for the title.

With teams like UConn, Baylor, Tennessee, Stanford and Duke, neither of the two teams that played in the championship game should have been in that position.

In the men’s division, UConn defeated Butler for the championship.

With teams like Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Kansas, Duke, Syracuse and North Carolina, both UConn and Butler never should have played for the championship.

What’s Wrong With Tiger’s Game?

What’s wrong with Tiger Woods’ golf game? That is the question that all of golf is asking and all of golf has no answer to.

Tiger thinks it is his swing and he is currently undergoing a swing change. I say there is nothing wrong with Tiger’s game or his swing.

Tiger’s problem is his eyes. Think about this with me. Tiger has always had trouble finding the fairway with his driver. He has always hit his ball into the woods. He’s always been able to knock the ball out of the woods and onto the greens.

Once on the green, Tiger could knock down a putt from anywhere on the green. Today, he can’t knock down putts almost at all. He misses a ton of putts inside of five feet. Short putts pass by the hole by 12 inches off line.

You know Tiger used to wear contacts. Then he had laser eye surgery. He had to have the surgery redone and he may need to either have the surgery done again or go back to the contacts.

Rays Off To A Bad Start

The season has just started for the Tampa Bay Rays and the team got off to a horrible start.

They have lost their first four games. The pitching hasn’t been good and the hitting has been almost non-existent.

The Rays won their Division Championship last year, but lost a lot of key contributing players. So far, their replacements haven’t even been fair.

1 Of 5 Charges Tossed Out In Bonds Perjury Trial

1 Of 5 Charges Tossed Out In Bonds Perjury Trial

SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge has granted prosecutors’ request to dismiss one of the charges against Barry Bonds in his federal trial for allegedly lying to a grand jury.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston approved the request Wednesday morning, which prosecutors made after it became clear the judge was going to rule that they failed to prove a count that charged the home run king with lying when he denied his personal trainer, Greg Anderson, induced him “to take anything before the 2003 season.”

Prosecutors argued that charge meant that Bonds would be guilty to have knowingly taken any steroid prior to 2003. But the judge disagreed, ruling that the charge alleged Bonds willfully used designer steroids dubbed “the cream” or “the clear” before the 2003.

Bonds admitted inadvertently taking designer steroids in 2003, but denied any use before then.

The jury will now consider four charges against Bonds. Two accuse him of lying about knowingly taking performance-enhancing drugs, a third charges him with lying about being injected by anyone, but his doctors and the last is a catchall obstruction charge.

The owner of the major league mark for home runs in a season and a career has pleaded not guilty to three charges of lying to a grand jury in 2003, when he denied knowingly using steroids and human growth hormone. He’s also charged with one count of lying to the grand jury when he told it no one other than his doctor ever injected him with anything and another catchall charge of obstruction.

Once Unthinkable, Texas A&M Crowned Champions For 1st Time

Once Unthinkable, Texas A&M Crowned Champions For 1st Time

INDIANAPOLIS — Texas A&M overcame a lot on Tuesday night. Its own gender-biased history. A hostile Indiana crowd. The hand-wringing over a national championship game without UConn.

The Aggies went to a place they’d never been, the national title game, and made it their own.

In the 30th anniversary of the women’s NCAA championship, Texas A&M — which didn’t even admit women a half-century ago — beat Notre Dame 76-70, setting off an exuberant, joyful and unexpected celebration.

The game was everything that the men’s championship — played 24 hours earlier — was not: riveting, well-played, high-scoring, star-driven.

Pictured: Danielle Adams scored 30 points with nine rebounds, earning Most Outstanding Player.

Deputies said entry into the house was made through an unlocked window between 9 a. m. and 3 p. m. while the players were at a game.

Along with the assault rifle, jewelry, cash, computer equipment, and electronics were taken.

LeBron Nearing 2,000 Points For Seventh Straight Season

LeBron Nearing 2,000 Points For Seventh Straight Season

MIAMI — LeBron James speaks often of his appreciation for NBA history.

On Wednesday, he’ll likely make some history.

James needs only two points to reach 2,000 for the season, which would put him on another list alongside some of the game’s greatest players.

The NBA’s two-time reigning MVP will become the eighth player to score 2,000 points seven times – and at 26, he will be the youngest member of that elite club.

“It means a lot,” James said. “It means I’ve stayed healthy over the years. It also means the teammates and coaching staffs that I’ve had have given me the leeway to go out there and score. I’ve just tried to take full advantage of it. There’s a lot of hard work that goes into it and I just try to go out on the court and be the best player I can every night.”

Every other player with seven seasons of scoring 2,000 points – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Alex English, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Oscar Robertson and Dominique Wilkins – is in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

James will be the eighth person in that seven-timers club, and Kobe Bryant needs only 85 points in the Lakers’ final six games to get to 2,000 again and join as well.

Duke Freshman Entering NBA Draft

Duke Freshman Entering NBA Draft

DURHAM, NC — Point guard Kyrie Irving is leaving Duke after one season to enter the NBA draft.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement issued Wednesday by the school that Irving plans to hire an agent, ending his college career.

Irving played only 11 games and missed roughly two-thirds of the season with an injured big toe on his right foot. The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 17.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists for top-seeded Duke, which was upset by Arizona in the West regional semifinals.

When Irving was healthy, he was electrifying. His 31-point performance against then-No. 6 Michigan State marked just the fourth time in school history that a freshman scored 30 points in a game. He was the MVP of the CBE Classic after averaging 14.5 points and six assists.
