Am I the only one who laughs at those women on the treadmill commercial between hockey games?

That’s great to get them to the house for the wedding updos. I cannot believe they were not professional enough to even get back to you. Shameful.

I caught part of Kurtz’s show after mass this AM, and saw that woman who recorded and publicized the idiot Sterling’s phone call claims she isn’t “a mistress or whore”-okay, so what is she-a real employee, a figment of someone’s imagination? I guess that is why the guy’s wife is suing her for all that stuff he gave her-it was probably bought with community money, but I guess that was just a simple mistake...

And he said he wishes he had just paid her off. What a charming pair-I hope she gets sued, or dragged to court for recording that call, if it is against the law in Cali-she deserves shunning as much as he does...
