Reports have come out of a shooting near Broadway Bridge in Portland Oregon, with at least one woman shot and laying near a Volvo at the west end of the bridge, with another man shot in his back shoulder; as police are searching for the suspect, they are blocking off the area, which is being considered an ongoing crime scene.

What happened?

The Portland OR Alerts Twitter page, which is not connected to an official agency and is not confirmed, issued the following updates to the story:

“Portland: police to west end of the Broadway Bridge, report of a female shot and laying near a Volvo, possible shooter was seen running towards the train tracks, possibly a bald white male wearing a black leather jacket #pdxtraffic #AvoidTheArea”

“Update Shooting: shooting happened under the Broadway Bridge on NW Naito Parkway, officer on scene says that a male was shot in the shoulder in the back, suspect may have run towards the train tracks near Union Station, active crime scene-stay away #AvoidTheArea”

“Update Shooting: shooter may be a known transient, police are locking down the area, please stay away as it is a ongoing crime scene and the shooter is still outstanding, expect streets blocked from Broadway Bridge to Steel Bridge, #pdxtraffic #AvoidTheArea”


What do we know so far?

At this time, little can be confirmed about the victims’ injuries or if they are life-threatening.

Oregon Live confirmed that police were responding to the area and that Northbound lanes on Naito Parkway were closed off. Although earlier reports mentioned that both a man and a woman were found injured, the publication said that only one victim had been confirmed; it is also unclear if either the man or woman mentioned above were either identified as the victim.

According to Katu 2, police are employing a canine team to help search for the victim.

Let’s take a look at her career over the years, starting with her net worth!

Cynthia Nixon Net Worth: $60 Million

At this time, Cynthia Nixon’s net worth is estimated to be around $60 million. Let’s take a look at her career over the years just to see how she came so far!


 

The Early Years

Nixon is a native of New York City, attending Hunter College High School and attended Barnard College of Columbia University. She initially became interested in acting as a way to pay for college; starting at the age of 12, she made appearances in local shows, with her big break in film being the 1980 picture, Little Darlings, starring Tatum O’Neal and Kristy McNichol. While acting in films, she also started appearing in various Broadway shows, notably productions of The Philadelphia Story, The Real Thing and Hurlyburly, some of which she appeared in while still in college.


1993-2004

Continuing her stage work, some films she appeared in during the early 90’s included roles in Addams Family Values (1993), Baby’s Day Out (1994), Marvin’s Room (1996) and The Out-of-Towners (1999). Nixon’s rise to stardom came from being cast as one of the four regulars on HBO’s Sex and the City, which ran from 1998 to 2004, earning three Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, winning in 2004, during the show’s final season.

Following the end of the show, she appeared as First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt for HBO’s Warm Springs (2005), for which she earned an Emmy nomination. Returning to the stage, she appeared in David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Rabbit Hole in a Manhattan Theatre Club production in 2006, winning a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Play). In 2008, she reprised her role as Miranda for the Sex and the City feature film. Towards the end of the decade, she won a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album along with Beau Bridges and Blair Underwood for the album, An Inconvenient Truth (Al Gore).

In 2012, Nixon starred as Professor Vivian Bearing in the Broadway debut of Wit, earning a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Play for her performance. In 2015, she also appeared in two films for the 2015 Sundance Film Festival: Stockholm, Pennsylvania and James White; the following year, she also appeared in A Quiet Passion, portraying American poet Emily Dickinson. In 2017, she also appeared in a Broadway in the revival of The Little Foxes. In a break away from acting, and more into direct politics, in 2018, she announced that she would be running for the position of Governor of New York; on her official Twitter account, she released the following statement:

“I love New York, and today I’m announcing my candidacy for governor.”

WWE Raw Live Stream: How To Watch Monday Night Raw Online – 03/19/18

Tonight’s episode of Raw will be live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Last week, John Cena laid into The Undertaker, cutting a scathing promo which breaks down “The Deadman” as a self-centered, egotistical jerk, who is too full of himself to give the fans what they want a la John Cena vs. Undertaker at WrestleMania 34. But the rumor mill is already buzzing, indicating that The Undertaker may answer Cena’s challenge tonight.

Meanwhile, the battlefield is being prepared for massacre at the Hardy Compound for the Ultimate Deletion involving “The Woken” Matt Hardy and “The Eater of Worlds” Bray Wyatt. Will “The Eater” be deleted? Or will Hardy’s woken persona be deleted forever?!

Last week, “The Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman tore through a tag team over-the-top-rope battle royal, standing tall as the winner of the match. Strowman now qualifies to face The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro) for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 34. The only issue is that “The Monster Among Men” doesn’t have a partner to face The Bar at ‘Mania. My guess is that “The Big Red Machine” Kane will fill the void as Strowman’s tag partner, either winning a separate battle royal or simply volunteering for the role.

And what’s next for “The Goddess” Alexa Bliss and “The Irresistible Force” Nia Jax? Last week, Bliss and Mickie James talked crap about Jax behind her back. This week, Nia Jax is looking for revenge.

Top 3 Players That Must Step Up In Harry Kane’s Absence

During the Premier League game between the Tottenham Spurs and AFC Bournemouth on March 11, Tottenham’s Harry Kane rolled his ankle in the first half after a collision with Asmir Begović. This is the same right ankle that has given him trouble before– last season he injured it twice. Tottenham finished the game with a 4-1 win over Bournemouth; however, they lost an extremely vital player. It appears Kane will be out for six weeks with ankle ligament damage. Now everyone is wondering how this will affect Tottenham’s future success.

Though the Spurs’ striker will be missed, the team still carries additional high-quality players. Three names come to mind: Son Heung-Min, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli.


Son Heung-Min

After Kane limped off the field, Son Heung-Min was moved up front and in the second half, scored twice. The 25-year old winger/forward from South Korea has been playing with Tottenham since August 2015. Since the beginning of the season, he has scored 18 goals. With still two months to go, it is expected that this number will grow. Although his playing style is different from Kane’s, Heung Min is an impressive forward and one of the few Asian players in the Premier League to gain notable recognition.


Christian Eriksen

Instagram Photo

Tottenham advanced to the FA Cup semi-finals after a 3-0 win over Swansea City this past Saturday. Christian Eriksen was responsible for two of these goals. As an attacking midfielder for Tottenham since August 2013, this 26-year-old originally from Denmark has been a consistently strong player. He is excellent at identifying the free space on the field as well as crafting opportunities for his teammates. Eriksen has had seven goals so far this season, and 38 goals overall since his start with the Premier League.


Dele Alli

Instagram Photo

Although Dele Alli also sustained a minor injury later in the game against Bournemouth, he still remains a promising player in Kane’s absence. At the age of 21, he is a native of the UK and has been a midfielder for Tottenham since February 2015. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino recently claimed that Alli is the best player in his age group. Since joining the Premier League, Alli has made 99 appearances, scored 34 goals, and made 25 assists.


With their latest victory against Swansea City, the Spurs are showing that they are still a force to be reckoned with– Kane or no Kane. Pochettino expresses pride for his team and confidence in his players’ abilities. Tottenham’s next match is against Chelsea on April 1, 2018.

A Self-Driving Uber Has Killed Someone: #TBT To 2016 When We Predicted This Wouldn’t Go Well

Look, someone had died, so now is not really the time to make jokes. Whoever that person and their family may be, their lives are forever altered because Uber — and humans in general — have gotten way too reckless with artificial intelligence. If one of Uber’s bigwigs had just taken a step back and thought to themselves “Hey, maybe vehicles with the potential to kill should be operated by a living human instead of a program”, then maybe this daughter or mother or sister or loved one would still be alive today.

But they didn’t: all Uber — and other companies — sees when it comes to artificial intelligence is automation, convenience, and therefore, profits.

So, while this may not be the time to make jokes about Uber, it is a time to say ‘I told you so’, as we (I) predicted these robotmobiles were a bad idea way back in 2016 when they were first unveiled:

via:

Have we learned nothing from science fiction? The obvious example is The Terminator (1, 2, 3, 4, AND 5), but in reality, Hollywood has been trying to warn us of the incoming robot invasion for decades. There’s been action dramas like A.I.,  I, RobotEx Machina, The Matrix. There have been kids movies such as Wall-E. Hell, there was even a f*cking love story: Her. This year, another artificial intelligence movie, Morgan (starring Kate Mara), will hit theaters. The warning signs are all there, we’re just choosing to ignore them.

I believe this to be the proverbial first step in going too far: self-driving Ubers. Thanks to Elon Musk, the love child of a Bond villain and Steve Jobs, self-driving technology has gained serious traction in the last couple of years. Now, with a company as big as Uber getting involved, it’s sure to really take off.

Near the end of 2014, Uber co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Travis Kalanick traveled to Pittsburgh to hire dozens of the world’s experts in autonomous vehicles. The goal was to replace Uber’s more than 1 million human drivers with robot drivers—as quickly as possible. I love the part where Uber says there will be a ‘supervised by humans in the driver’s seat for the time being’. Time being, as in, until the robot Ubers become cognitive are start kamikazeing themselves to eliminate the feeble human race.

I’m kind of kidding. But not really. I mean seriously, once the ‘time being’ is over, you’re telling me there’s going to be a bunch of emotionless/fearless robots ripping it next to me on the I95, and I’m just supposed to be chill with that? Nah.

Then, last Summer, I tried to spread the word again, saying that if we’re so desperate to automate things, we should start working on robot chefs or maids instead of robot cars– you know, things that can’t kill us:

And now, nearly two years older and two years wiser (talking about myself, clearly not Uber), and unfortunately my written-in-jest article has come to fruition, as one of Uber’s self-driving vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona.

While you can read more about the incident over on the New York Times (or anywhere on the internet, really), the point I’m trying to make is simple: instead of retroactively halting the program (which Uber has done), it should have never gotten off the ground in the first place.

I’m no Fortune 500 CEO and even I was able to see this one coming from a mile away.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon at East Carolina University has been placed on suspension while the university investigates violations of the student code of conduct.

According to reports, ECU announced on Friday, March 2, that Sigma Alpha Epsilon had been placed on deferred suspension a year ago for violations of ECU’s and the fraternity’s hazing policy.

The university said that they would continue to investigate the behavior of individual members of SAE.

SAE is one of East Carolina’s 23 fraternities.

via The News & Observer:

The fraternity was put on a “redevelopment plan” after the suspension, but was not following the terms of the agreement, which led to the closure. The fraternity will be closed for a period of four years, ECU officials said.

“ECU shares, with the national organizations, alumni and advisors, the commitment to holding organizations and students accountable for actions that do not meet expectations,” Virginia Hardy, ECU’s vice chancellor for student affairs, said in a news release. “We will continue our efforts to strengthen our campus fraternities, sororities and all student organizations as a key part of the student experience at ECU.”

The closure of SAE marks the third fraternity closed at East Carolina this year.

This is the latest fraternity suspension in the last year, as schools such as Indiana University, the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, Texas State, Florida State, Ball State, Louisiana State and Penn State have all suspended fraternities.

Police have confirmed that a woman in Arizona, was hit by an Uber self-driving car, later dying of her injuries in the hospital, in what is believed to possibly be the first instance of a self-driving car killing a person who was not inside the vehicle.

What happened?

According to ABC 15, police confirmed that Uber’s Arizona test car was in its self-driving mode when the accident occurred, but a self-driver had been behind the wheel, as safety protocol dictates; however, there were no other passengers within the car at the time.

On social media, Uber issued a statement confirming that the company was aware of what had happened and that they would work with police in the ongoing investigation.

“Some incredibly sad news out of Arizona. We’re thinking of the victim’s family as we work with local law enforcement to understand what happened.”

According to USA Today, John Simpson, the privacy and technology project director at Consumer Watchdog, also issued the following statements:

“There should be a national moratorium on all robot car testing on public roads until the complete details of this tragedy are made public and are analyzed by outside experts so we understand what went so terribly wrong.”

“Arizona has been the wild west of robot car testing with virtually no regulations in place.”

“That’s why Uber and Waymo test there. When there’s no sheriff in town, people get killed.”

The Arizona Republic also confirmed that Uber has “paused” its operations of self-driving cars for the time being and did not dispute police reports.

Mayor Mark Mitchell of Arizona also issued the following statement:



What was Elaine Herzberg’s official cause of death?

David Ortiz Net Worth 2018: How Much Is Big Papi Worth?

David Ortiz is the former Boston Red Sox slugger, who many of you might know by the nickname “Big Papi”. Ortiz retired from baseball after the 2016 season. Throughout his historic career, he grew into one of the most popular and likable players in the league.

Ortiz made his professional debut in 1997 as a member of the Minnesota Twins. He would only play for two teams throughout his 20-year career. The second team being the Boston Red Sox. In Boston is where Ortiz saw his career took a meteoric rise. So, how much is this future Hall of Famer worth?

David Ortiz Net worth as of 2018: $45 Million

Ortiz obtained his wealth through his baseball contracts and endorsements. It was Ortiz’s infectious personality that brought in his many endorsement opportunities. Not to mention how incredibly accomplished he was on the baseball field. It did not take long for Ortiz to become not only a Red Sox legend, but an MLB legend as well.

Early life and minor league career

Instagram Photo
David Ortiz was born in the Dominican Republic on November 18, 1975. Ortiz is the oldest of four children. He is the son of Enrique Ortiz and Angela Rosa Arias. Ortiz’s father Enrique who went by the name “Leo” was the primary influence in getting David to fall in love with the game of baseball. Leo was a baseball player himself, having played in the Dominican pro and semi-pro leagues.

Growing up David Ortiz would attend the Dominican pro league baseball games and through this grew a love and understanding of the game. He was greatly influenced by the Dominican stars Ramon Martinez and younger brother Pedro Martinez. If you’re wondering if the Pedro Martinez I mentioned is the Hall of Fame pitcher and former teammate of Ortiz in Boston, you would be correct.

Ortiz signed his first deal at the age of 17 with the Seattle Mariners organization. He would then go on to play 4 seasons in the minors before eventually getting his call-up to the big leagues in 1997. In those 4 seasons his batting avg. was above .300 in 3 of them and his power numbers grew drastically. It was evident Ortiz was destined to be a force at the plate and haunt pitchers nightmares.

Minnesota Twins 1997-2002

Ortiz got his first professional action at the age of 21 for the Minnesota Twins in 1997. During the ’97 season, Ortiz played in 15 games and did not have quite the impact he expected of himself. The sample size was small though, and Ortiz’s confidence never wavered.

The following season saw Ortiz get more action with 326 plate appearances. Ortiz showed flashes of power but was still adjusting to the professional game at just 22 years-old. It wasn’t until the 2000 season that Ortiz would play in 100+ games. His stat line for the season was a .282 batting avg. to go along with 10 home runs and 63 RBI. Over the next two seasons, 2001 and 2002, Ortiz saw a dip in his batting avg., but a steady climb in the home run category. After the 2002 season, the Twins would ship Ortiz off to the Boston Red Sox.

Boston Red Sox 2003-2016

The change in scenery from Minnesota to Boston was what Ortiz needed. This was a match made in the baseball heavens. Ortiz was quickly embraced by the team and the fan-base. His big personality made him a quick fan favorite.

In his first season with Boston Ortiz saw a massive jump in his offensive output. He posted a staggering 31 home runs and 101 RBI. He finished 5th in MVP voting, and the Red Sox made it all the way to the ALCS. This was the season that saw the rise of Big Papi and would eventually propel him into Boston lore.

Over his career with the Red Sox Ortiz finished in the top 10 of MVP voting 7 times. He would be the catalyst for 3 World Series championships, during which he became one of the most clutch hitters in baseball history. His estimated career earnings from his baseball contracts are $160,197,500. He also earned money from his endorsements with MasterCard, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Buffalo Wild Wings over the course of his career.

Through his on-field success and off the field endeavors it is clear as to how Ortiz was able to build such a massive net worth.

LA Galaxy’s Jonathan & Giovani Dos Santos Will Miss Upcoming Mexican Friendly Matches

On Sunday, it was announced by the Mexican Federation that brothers Jonathan and Giovani dos Santos of LA Galaxy will not be playing in the next two El Tri games. On March 11, Giovani suffered tightness in his right hamstring during the match against New York City FC. The Galaxy forward is expected to be out for one to three weeks.

Last Friday during a training session with the Galaxy, Jonathan acquired a similar hamstring injury. Now both brothers will miss the next two friendly games against Iceland and Croatia, which will occur on March 23rd and 27th, respectively. The timing of this is frustrating for the players as well as coach Juan Carlos Osorio who is looking to finalize his World Cup roster for the Mexican National Team. He faces not only the absence of both dos Santos brothers but also Tigres wingers Javier Aquino and Jurgen Damm. Aquino and Damm claimed adductor injuries during their match against Chivas this past Saturday. Aquino was taken out in the 57th minute while Damm came out the 78th.

With the removal of these four players from the games, comes a new addition, as center back Oswaldo Alanis of Chivas is now set to play against Iceland after not initially being included on the roster.

The friendly against Iceland will be played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California while the friendly against Croatia will be held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Tyronn Lue is a former NBA point guard and coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He recently announced he would be stepping down as the Cav’s coach to focus on his health. It’s unclear what health issues Lue’s been having, but he’s had to exit games three times this season due to illness.

Lue had three years left on his five-year contract worth $35 million with the Cavs.


Tyronn Lue Net Worth As Of 2018: $25 Million

Lue bounced around a lot during his 11-year career in the NBA. Unfortunately for him, his most memorable moment was being on the bottom end of a super ungracious step over.

It may have nothing to do with net worth but as a Sixers fan, it’s always worth revisiting… Now back to the topic at hand.


Early Life

Instagram Photo

Tyronn Lue attended Raytown Senior High School in Raytown, Missouri. He later went to the University of Nebraska where he was a key member of the 1995-96 team which won the NIT tournament. Lue declared for the 1998 NBA draft after his junior season. He was originally taken by the Denver Nuggets but on draft night, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers with Tony Battie in exchange for Nick Van Exel.


1998-2001

Instagram Photo

Lue struggled his first couple years with the Lakers and saw limited playing time. He excelled in the 2001 playoffs, however. Due to his quickness, he was asked to guard Allen Iversonin the Finals. Although he gave AI an all-time highlight clip (see above), he ultimately helped the Lakers go on to beat the Sixers four games to one and win the title. This championship was the second and last title Lue would win as a player – his first ring came the year before, 2000, which was also with Los Angeles.


2001-2009

After the Laker’s championship season in 2001, Lue signed with the Washington Wizards. With the Wizards, Lue played a lot more and subsequently became a much better point guard. His stats peaked in Atlanta wherein the 2005 season, he averaged 13.5 ppg, 5.4 apg, and 31.2 mpg. During his 11 seasons in the NBA Lue was a journeyman, playing on eight different teams. He was always a solid option at PG but never all-star caliber.

Tyronn Lue retired after his 2009 season with the Orlando Magic. In 2011, he began his coaching career as an assistant coach for the Celtics. He became an assistant head coach for Cleveland in 2014 and when David Blatt stepped down in 2016, Lue was asked to step up as HC. And that’s exactly what he did. On June 19, 2016, the Cavaliers won their first NBA Championship, with Lue becoming the second rookie coach in consecutive seasons to win it all, the third person to become champion as a mid-season replacement coach, and the 14th person to win an NBA championship as a head coach and player. At the 2016 ESPY Awards, Lue was named Best Coach/Manager, and the Cavs were named Best Team.

Since then, the Cavs and Lue have gotten close to winning another title but not quite able to repeat their 2016 magic. In 2018, Lue’s struggle with illness combined with the Cav’s struggle in performance, have led to him stepping down as head coach.

Aubrey O’Day Net Worth 2018: How Much Is Aubrey Worth?

0

Aubrey O’Day is an American singer-songwriter, fashion designer, model and reality television personality. She rose to fame on MTV’s Making The Band, in which O’Day competed to become a member of Sean “P Diddy” Combs’ next project, an all-female pop band in the vein of the Spice Girls. Since the group’s disbandment, she has gone on to release her own album and appeared on numerous reality television shows. She has had a varied career and has accumulated much wealth due to her various appearances and projects, but just how much money has she been able to earn? Let’s dive in.

Aubrey O’Day Net Worth As Of 2018: $4 Million

Throughout her career, O’Day has earned around $4 million due to her music, her modeling, her fashion designs and her reality TV appearances. Let’s take a look at O’Day’s career and how she obtained this wealth.

Early Years

Instagram Photo

O’Day was born in San Francisco, California on February 11th, 1984. She has stated that she “lived on the stage, and even at six, slept behind the seats at the theatre.” She appeared in a variety of different musical productions, playing the lead in plays like Annie, Fame, Grease, and The Wizard of Oz. 

She went on to attend the University of California at Irvine, where she graduated with a degree in political science.

2004-2008

O’Day would go on to appear in Making the Band 3, where she emerged as the show’s breakout star. As she competed on the show, she would also embark on a modeling career appearing in Blender magazine and other publications. She would go on to secure a spot in the band, now known as Danity Kane.

Their self-titled first album, Danity Kane, was released in 2006 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts. They went on to open for Christina Aguilera on her Back to Basics Tour, along with fellow girl group The Pussycat Dolls.

As Making The Band continued, tensions between O’Day and Combs began to rise as her career began to broaden outside of music. Combs accused her of using her “oversexed” image as a means to increase her fame, even going so far as to call her “the worst dancer in the group.” These tensions eventually would go on to boil over, leading to Combs dismissing O’Day from the group.

2008-2012

Following her dismissal from Danity Kane, O’Day embarked on a single career. She would appear in the Broadway production of Hairspray as well as the comedy American High School. She would be featured on different singer’s tracks including Donnie Wahlberg’s “I Got It.”

She starred in her own reality show All About Aubrey in 2011 on the Oxygen Network. The show only ran for six episodes. Her debut single “Automatic” was released in 2011 and served as the intro music for All About Aubrey.

2012-Present

In 2012, O’Day appeared on Donald Trump’s The Celebrity Apprentice 5. She was deemed the “villain” of that season, earning the ire of celebrities like Arsenio Hall and Clay Aiken. Her repeated misconduct on the show nearly led to her getting fired early, she went on to finish in third place.

Also in 2012, O’Day released another single titled “Wrecking Ball.” She went to release her debut EP Between Two Evils in 2013, it rose to #5 on the iTunes charts. Danity Kane also reunited in 2013, but it did not last long as O’Day would feud with bandmate Dawn Richard, and the band broke up again.

However, she would form the duo Dumblonde with Danity Kane bandmate Shannon Bex, and they released the self-titled album in 2015. Since then, she’s appeared on Celebrity Big Brother among other projects.

The Krossover: A Comprehensive History of the Kardashians and the NBA

0
0

Khloé Kardashian and the Cavaliers’ Tristan Thompson are about to welcome their first child! The loved-up couple, who were introduced by Brandon Jennings in 2016, confirmed the pregnancy this past December after months of speculation. The Kardashian-Thompson coupling–well, trio now–represents the most recent Krossover between the Kardashian-Jenner family and the NBA. Let’s take a walk down memory lane and revisit some of the good, bad, and just plain ugly pairings between these two cultural giants.

Kourtney Kardashian & Richard Jefferson

Well, they didn’t actually date. But this is really where it all started. Long, long ago, in a universe where the Kardashian kids were still expected to pursue a college education, Kourtney attended (and graduated from!) the University of Arizona. Her time there overlapped with NBA champion and part-time podcaster Richard Jefferson’s stint with the Wildcats. The two had mutual friends; RJ revealed on an episode of Road Trippin’: Richard vs. Channing that back then, “she was just Kourtney”. Weirdly enough, his Cavs teammate Tristan would start dating Kourtney’s little sister fifteen years later.


Khloé Kardashian & Rashad McCants

Former NCAA champion and NBA first-round draft pick Rashad McCants dated Khloé prior to her marriage to Lamar Odom. McCants, who has a history of spilling tea, claimed all the way back in 2009 that parts of the relationship were staged and exaggerated for plot’s sake on Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami. While that much is certainly believable, McCants never professionally bounced back from this highly-publicized piece of his personal life. A month after breaking it off with Khloé, Rashad was traded from the Timberwolves and would never again be able to keep a consistent NBA job. In 2017, McCants reemerged, alleging that his short stint as a Kardashian accessory is precisely the reason why he was “blackballed” by the league. McCants never became the “$60-70 million [NBA] player” he believed himself to be, but he would become the BIG3’s inaugural #1 overall pick (later, he’d hit the step-back game-winner for Trilogy in the very first BIG3 championship). Rashad McCants was the first and likely most debilitated victim of the fabled Kardashian Curse. We’re glad he’s recovered.


Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries

The infamous 72-day marriage came only 90 days after the Kris popped the question. And even though Kim insisted in a roundabout way to Oprah’s face that she wouldn’t “marry to get ratings”, we still must wonder. Kris himself, who’d sought an annulment instead of divorce, alleged that the marriage was fraudulent. Humphries was introduced during the season 6 premiere of Keeping Up, and Kim’s family–particularly and ironically Khloé–were not entirely thrilled with how Kim was rebounding from Reggie Bush. Khloé had herself an argument: it was pretty clear that the chemistry wasn’t there. The dollars were, though. The two-night wedding special, “Kim’s Fairytale Wedding”, was E! network’s “most-watched event to date.” And the Kourtney and Kim Take New York season 2 finale when Kim comes to the conclusion to file for divorce? Third-most viewers for an E! telecast to date. Kris was blindsided and “devastated” by the divorce, and his NBA career never quite recovered. Humphries is riding the NBA waives, and according to the divorce settlement, didn’t earn a dime from the entire fiasco. #Cursed


Khloé Kardashian & Lamar Odom

WENN

A whirlwind. A head-scratcher. A dramatic chronicle indeed. Khloé and Lamar married in September 2009, a month after meeting at the birthday party of the man formerly known as Ron Artest. Kardashian and Odom were together long enough to yield 20 episodes of a Keeping Up spinoff, Khloé & Lamar, which in hindsight was more of a coming-out party for Rob Kardashian, who lived on their couch. While it was occasionally believable that Koko and “Lam Lam” were in love to some degree–unlike Kim and Kris who clearly did not know a thing about each other–the prophecy was fulfilled: Khloé filed for divorce in December 2013. Two years later, after Lamar was found unconscious following an overdose and hospitalized in critical condition, Khloé called off the divorce in order to support and make medical decisions for him. Lamar would recover, and the divorce would be finalized in December 2016.


Khloé Kardashian & James Harden

Instagram Photo

Post-Lamar (kind of?) and pre-Tristan, there was The Beard. And he’d love for us to forget it entirely. James Harden and Khloé became involved in July 2015, and Harden’s made it clear that it was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad mistake. 2015 ended up being “the worst year of his life”. Combine the complimentary media circus that comes with dating a Kardashian, Khloé’s occupation with Lamar Odom (Odom’s health crisis would emerge months into the Harden-Kardashian relationship), and his disastrous workplace relationship with then-Rockets teammate Dwight Howard, and you can see Harden’s point. In hindsight, it’s hard to remember anything about the relationship before the predestined fallout. Khloé’s obviously moved on, and James has totally recovered from both the Kardashian Curse and Lil B’s curse. So let’s leave it all in the past.


Kendall Jenner & Chandler Parsons

Kendall moved from Harry Styles (allegedly) to… Chandler Parsons? In 2014, it was reported that Parsons and Jenner “were chatting and flirting” while eating tuna on a group date. Parsons insisted it was nothing. The two have been spotted out together a handful of times since, reigniting rumors between December 2016 and January 2017 while Parsons was maybe supposed to be dating Hailey Baldwin and Kendall was maybe supposed to be dating Jordan Clarkson or Jordan and Hailey were maybe supposed to be dating each other. Maybe the all of the PR assistants were on vacation.


Kendall Jenner & the Baby Lakers

D’Angelo Russell fell first into the trap. And if he warned his teammates, Jordan Clarkson wasn’t listening. In D’Angelo’s defense, he and Kendall were “in the early stages of a relationship” for a few days of a slow news week in November 2015. They were probably just friends–if that–considering Kendall loves sitting courtside for the Lakers (and sometimes the Clippers).

In July 2016, E! reported that Jenner and Clarkson had spent the 4th of July together and were officially “casually dating“. The two were initially linked the previous spring after eating food together and not much else. By November, the public had forgotten about this sizzling relationship, so somebody’s PR assistant hired a photographer to go shopping with them. Before long, Kendall was allegedly dating Chandler Parsons again (and/or his girlfriend Hailey Baldwin). But there’s still hope for Kordan! Clarkson is playing for the Cavs now, with Khloé’s boyfriend Tristan. Khloé loves living in Kleveland. Maybe she can convince Kendall to give Jordan another shot.


Kourtney Kardashian & Kevin Durant

Keeping Up with the Kardashians/E!

Just kidding. But one of Tristan Thompson’s close friends, who appears to be a mutual friend with Kevin Durant, communicated on a recent episode of Keeping Up that KD thinks Kourtney is “cute”. Kourtney is cute, partly because she is the least dramatic of the sisters. Kevin was probably just making an observation. Besides, he still has relationship issues to work out with Russell Westbrook. Kourtney didn’t seem interested or impressed at the time, and has clearly moved on.


Kendall Jenner & Blake Griffin

Instagram Photo

In August 2017, Kendall was apparently going steady with A$AP Rocky. But we’ve learned from the Chandler Parsons/Jordan Clarkson saga: the elder Jenner sister is in high demand, and she’s sometimes generous enough to entertain two public boyfriends simultaneously. Blake Griffin, of all people, was next up (and somehow, Parsons and Hailey Baldwin were again involved). How could Griffin–coming off an injury which sealed yet another playoff disappointment by the Clippers and Chris Paul’s decision to leave L.A. for Houston–further jeopardize his rather unlucky NBA career by stepping out with one of… them? Hadn’t he learned from the Hardens and Humphries before him? It felt as if we were getting a new set of paparazzi photos every day; the Kardashian Curse was imminent. To be fair to Blake, he started off 2017-18 statistically improved. But then he got hurt, again, and was later shipped out to Detroit in arguably the most bizarre trade sequence in recent NBA history. Whether it was a dose of Kardashian Karma or not, we can’t know for sure. But we had to wonder: could Kendall commit to Michigan in the middle of winter? Apparently not. By February, Blake and Kendall were allegedly on the rocks (though in a recent Vogue cover story, Kendall, quelling gay rumors, is purported to be in Detroit on the day after Valentine’s “visiting a friend”). Wherever we’re at in this relationship, the only thing confirmable is that it’s exhausting.

Can you smell it? That smell is the first day of Spring.

Now, while anyone with their head properly screwed onto their body knows that Spring doesn’t actually start to April rolls around. In fact, New York City is supposed to get about a foot of snow tomorrow, meaning it’s just as much winter outside as it was a month ago.

However, there is something to be said about the day the calendar decides to tell you it’s Spring, as it means we are all one step closer to our ultimate goal: summer.

Joe Thomas Net Worth: How Much Joe Thomas Worth?

Joe Thomas as of yesterday is a former member of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns. Thomas, 33, played 10 years in Cleveland and never missed a start, playing offensive tackle, one of the most physical and injury-prone positions in the sport.

Playing 167 career games for the Browns, Thomas was drafted out of the University of Wisconsin in April 2007 in the top-three of the NFL Draft. Now retired, the question persists, how much is the ten-time Pro Bowler worth?


Joe Thomas Net Worth 2018: $52 million

Instagram Photo

Joe Thomas, the retired NFL offensive lineman, has a reported net worth of $52 million.


Early Life

Joseph Hayden Thomas was born on December 4, 1984. Thomas was born in Brookfield, Wisconsin to parents Eric and Sally.

When Thomas attended Brookfield Central High School, the 6-6, 312 lb. pounder was a standout in football. He played multiple positions for the high school team, the Brookfield Central Lancers. Thomas played right tackle, defensive end, tight end, fullback, placekicker, and punter.

His excellence on the gridiron earned him statewide and national recognition including being named a PrepStar All-American, first-team all-state defensive lineman from the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association (WFCA) and the Associated Press. When Thomas was a junior at Brookfield, he earned the spot as the third-best prospect in the state of Wisconsin after a season with 70 tackles and eight sacks.

In 2003, Thomas played in the U.S. Army All American Bowl.

Thomas didn’t only show prowess on the football field, but he did in track and field as well. He set school records in the shot put and discus. His accolades on the track earned him four letters in that category.

In the classroom, Thomas was an honor-roll student all four years in high school and made a spot on the U.S. Army Academic All-America Team.


2003-06

 

Just before graduating from Brookfield, Joe Thomas signed his letter of intent to stay close to home with the University of Wisconsin in January 2003.

In his freshman season in 03′, the 19-year old was used as a blocking tight end. A year later, Thomas was moved to left tackle. He would stay there for the 2005 Badgers season where was named first-team All-American by Pro Football Weekly. After his first All-American nod, Thomas was ready to declare for the NFL Draft but tore his ACL playing defensive end in Wisconsin’s 24-10 win over Auburn in the Capital One Bowl, forcing him right after the game to announce he would return for his senior season.

Thomas’s senior year, he was named offensive captain by the coaches and started all 13 games of that season. Once Wisconsin’s regular season was over, the Outland Trophy (awarded to the nation’s top interior lineman) was given to Thomas along with another All-American nod. His All-American season led the Badgers to a 12-1 record and another Captial One Bowl victory.


2007-Present

On April 28, 2007, the Cleveland Browns selected Joe Thomas third overall in the NFL Draft. Right after he was drafted, Thomas signed a lucrative contract of six-year, $43 million, with $23 million in guaranteed money.

That training camp, Thomas won the starting left tackle job. Just three months into his rookie season Thomas won NFL Rookie of the Month honors for the month of November. The rookie was selected to his first Pro Bowl in 2008 replacing Jason Peters and came in second in voting for Rookie of the Year, just behind winner Adrian Peterson.

Just four years into his career with the Browns, in August 2011, the 27-year old Thomas was awarded a record-setting seven-year contract worth $84 million dollars. Following the contract, Thomas made it to his fifth straight Pro Bowl. He went to his sixth Pro Bowl a year later and joined a very unique group becoming the only offensive lineman out of 15 players in NFL history to make it six Pro Bowl appearances in their first six seasons.

In 2013 and 2014, Thomas continued his fantastic run of Pro Bowls. He was even named number 18 overall on NFL Network’s Top 100 Players of 2014. After the 2015 campaign, the lifelong Brown was named the recipient of Pro Football Focus’s Bruce Matthews Award for the best offensive lineman in the league.

Once he eclipsed his tenth-straight Pro Bowl nod in 2016, Thomas went into the 2017 season with some uncertainty. He admitted he was in the first stage of losing his memory, but made it his priority not to let it affect his career.

The 2017 season would be Thomas final season in the NFL. In early September, he played his 10,000 consecutive snap, never missing one since he was drafted. That iron man streak ended on October 22 at 10,363 when he got hurt.

Thomas would announce his retirement on March 14, 2018.

A future Hall of Famer, Thomas was a 10x Pro Bowler, seven-time First-Team All-Pro, two-time Second-Team All-Pro.
