Spurs star is really pleased to be playing

Three interesting facts about San Antonio Spurs forward Tim Duncan: he loves attending renaissance fairs in his spare time, he likens his personality to that of Matt Damon’s character in Good Will Hunting and he occasionally likes to ‘pitch a tent’ while doing his thing on the parquet.

Who produces the world’s finest WAGs - America, or Europe?

Yesterday’s battle of the blondes was a photo finish, but Europe’s Gemma Atkinson narrowly toppled Lisa Dergan, by an overall percentage of 51 per cent here and at On205th.

So, two days into the US WAGs vs Euro WAGs tournament, and we’re winning 2-0.

Today, it’s a heavyweight battle of the brunettes, as America’s favourite desperate housewife takes on England’s favourite scorned housewife…

Basketball WAG hinders husband’s performance

A Hornets fan has discovered a perfect way to distract San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker, by holding up a big ol’ cardboard cutout of his wife Eva Longoria. The beardy chap looks delighted with his idea, but unless that thing is double-sided, I’m betting the people in the rows behind him aren’t enjoying the game quite as much.

Premier League fans could learn from this crafty misdirection - next time you’re seated behind the goal, why not take a Danielle Lloyd cutout to distract Jermain Defoe, or maybe a gaggle* of cardboard prostitutes to take Ronaldo’s eye off the ball…

*Yes, I checked, and ‘gaggle’ is the correct collective term for cardboard prostitutes.

The number one Spurs WAG (in south Texas, not north London)

Despite growing up in Texas, Eva Longoria managed to avoid the slow road to obesity, and found fame playing Gabrielle in Desperate Housewives (she’s the youngish one whose always finds an excuse to trot around in just her underwear).In 2006, she shot straight to the top of the international WAG league when she married Tony Parker, point guard for her favourite basketball team the San Antonio Spurs. Their marriage, however, hit a rough patch when Parker was rumoured to have had an affair with a young lady introduced to him by Thierry Henry, and there’s more speculation that she could be finishing with her man, as recent pictures suggest she has either removed or covered up a tattoo depicting her wedding date.
