NFL Sportscaster's Divorce -- You Stray, You Pay

Jim NanceNFL on CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz made one really bad call -- with a 29-year-old woman -- and it set a divorce in play that will cost him nearly a million bucks a year for the rest of his life.

A Connecticut judge ordered the famous announcer to pay his ex-wife $864,000 a year in alimony -- and the only way out is death ... or if his ex-wife remarries.

The judge's decision comes in light of Nantz's admission that he began dating a 29-year-old woman before he ended his 26 year marriage. Smooth...

Nantz also has to pay $1,000 a week in child support for their 15-year-old daughter for the next two years.

Jim's wife also gets the couple's Westport mansion -- no word if he gets to keep the couch he's probably been sleeping on.

Ultimately, the judge made Jim pay so much because he's loaded.

2. They say marriage is sacred. It is nice to see the rich and conservatives showing us how 'sacred' it is. No sympathy here for this man. The child should get more than $1,000 a week.

8. So first of all Astro Kooky is awesome. Next....what is with all this crazy alimony talk? Maybe if the Mrs. was taking care of business in the sex department this epic divorce would not be taking place.

10. Plus $1000 a month for the daughter?!?!?!

If the mother can't take care of the daughter on $864,000 a year she's a piece of selfish crap.

You know her ass ain't gettin' re-married anytime soon...

ChaChing!

11. All I can say is, I'm worth it.

12. I am glad his ex. wife took him for all that he was worth. Women deserve EVERYTHING and the WORLD.

I think the daughter should get A LOT more than 1K a week. That isn't enough. That probably barely pays for her schooling. What about clothing and shoes, her hair, etc.?

GUYS THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHEAT. YOU GO BROKE FINANCIALLY. THE WOMEN ALWAYS WINS!!!!!!!!! POWER TO WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13. This is floating about the web un-credited:
Quote:
CBS Sportscaster 50-year-old James William Nantz, III is divorcing Lorrie. Jim Nantz puts the divorce on 26-year-old Lorrie that her ‘lack of support’ towards Nantz’s career deteriorated their marriage. The author of ‘Always By My Side’ Nantz, on the other hand a tale of a 29-year-old girlfriend also, may be the crux of the divorce drama.

1959 born James William Nantz, III was in the court this week and a judge was found intently listening to his arguments. William Nantz was literally crying as his eyes were full of tears while he explained that his married life has proved a failure only due to Lorrie Nance, his going-to-be ex-wife. Its Lorrie added Nantz, due to whom their marriage is about to be deteriorated as she didn’t stand up by his side when he expected her to be therefore, he wished to get divorce from twenty-six-year old Lorrie.

Nantz then quoted an occasion whereby he was honored the ‘Man of the Year’ award in 2004 by the New York Athletic Club. He claimed as if his mother could fly all the way from Houston to accompany him on an occasion that meant a lot to him, why not Lorrie? He continued to state further with his swollen eyes that Lorrie didn’t like his ‘oil portrait’ presented to him at the dinner on the same night, be placed on the walls of their Westport home either. The portrait Nantz claimed was sent to the best possible suitable place for it; a warehouse.


Towards the end of his sentimental arguments, the author of an amazing hit book of 2008 “Always By My Side – A Father’s Grace and a Sports Journey Unlike Any Other,” James William Nantz, III who’s believed to make more than $7 million each year, unveiled a factor that may well be above all the minor ‘pleas’ Nantz presented in the court; he has a 29-year-old girlfriend too.

It appears that the anonymous girlfriend (as he didn’t mention any details regarding her identity yet) is the foremost reason and motive behind the divorce then. Now let’s see whatever comes up next as at moment, a fulltime nanny is looking after couple’s only daughter while Lorrie Nance is enjoying child support in excess of a huge amount each year that comes out to be $1.5 million. Besides, she has hands on a luxurious 6-bedroom Westport Connecticut house also." End Quote

Looks like he and she are both "rich-bitch" assholes.

14. Hmmm. . . at $864,000 per year for life I would think it would be a whole lot cheaper to have the ex-wife meet a very unfortunate "accident." T Here are some people in New Jersey that could do the job for a whole lot less than one-year's payment. When you get too greedy sometimes it backfires on you. Somebody key-up the Soprano's theme song. . .
