Nantz must pay $916,000 per year
Published on Wednesday, Nov 04, 2009
From Beacon Journal wire services
A Connecticut judge has ordered CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz to pay his ex-wife $916,000 a year in alimony and child support. This week's ruling comes after Nantz and his ex-wife, Lorrie, testified about the breakdown of their 26-year marriage. Nantz must pay $72,000 monthly in alimony until he dies or his ex-wife remarries, and another $1,000 weekly in child support for their daughter, Caroline, 15, for the next two years. Lorrie Nantz will get their six-bedroom home in Westport, Conn. Court papers cited Jim Nantz's $3.2 million salary from CBS and other yearly assets.
Baseball: Rays, Pirates make trade
• The Tampa Bay Rays traded second baseman Akinori Iwamura to the Pittsburgh Pirates for reliever Jesse Chavez. Iwamura hit .290 with one homer and 22 RBI in 69 games this season, but missed 81 games with knee injuries. Chavez led all major-league rookies with 73 appearances in 2009, going 1-4 with a 4.01 ERA in 671/3 innings.
• The Washington Nationals hired former Chicago White Sox General Manager Ron Schueler as special adviser to GM Mike Rizzo and promoted Bill Singer to director of pro scouting.
• Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Vernon Wells will have surgery next week to repair damaged cartilage in his left wrist. He is expected to be ready in time for spring training. Wells hit .260 with 15 homers and 66 RBI last season.
• The Minnesota Twins assigned third baseman Brian Buscher to Triple-A Rochester. Over three seasons, Buscher batted .266 in 436 at-bats with eight homers and 69 RBI.
College football: Injured player walks
• Auburn's Zac Etheridge feels blessed to walk. With his neck immobilized by a brace, the Auburn safety spoke to reporters three days after injuring his neck in the Mississippi game. He cracked his fifth vertebra and tore ligaments in his neck in a collision with teammate Antonio Coleman. Etheridge said he wants to play again.
• Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews is retiring after four decades of coaching and 26 years as one of Bobby Bowden's assistants. The architect of defenses that helped the Seminoles win two national titles in the 1990s, Andrews developed 18 first-round NFL Draft picks.
• Nebraska disciplined defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh after he was ticketed for negligent driving for ramming three parked cars with his sport utility vehicle over the weekend. Suh told police he swerved to avoid hitting a dog or cat.
Tennis: Murray returns for win
• Andy Murray came back from a wrist injury by beating wild card Daniel Gimeno-Traver 6-3, 6-1 in the first round of the Valencia Open in Spain. The fourth-ranked Murray, who had not played since the U.S. Open, won 22 of 26 first-serve points and broke Gimeno-Traver five times. He next plays Leonardo Mayer, who defeated Igor Andreev 6-3, 6-3. Defending champion David Ferrer broke Nicolas Almagro six times on the hard court in a 7-5, 6-7 (3), 6-2 win.
• German Tommy Haas, the 17th-ranked player, has swine flu. Haas, 31, pulled out of a tournament in Stockholm last week after feeling ill. He also pulled out of this week's Swiss Indoors and is unlikely to play next week at the Paris Masters.
Golf: FedEx Cup left alone
• The PGA Tour is leaving the FedEx Cup just as it is with the playoff schedule and points system. Rick George, chief of operations for the PGA Tour, said the board did not discuss adjusting the points system at a meeting this week. It's the first time since the FedEx Cup began in 2006 that the points system was left alone.
• The PGA Tour is moving the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open from August to July 15-18, the same weekend a nationally televised celebrity tournament has been played at Lake Tahoe for 20 years.
Other: Two Gophers suspended
• Minnesota basketball coach Tubby Smith suspended two players indefinitely for breaking team rules. Smith would not say why freshman forward Royce White and senior guard Devron Bostick were in trouble. They'll be held out of exhibitions Thursday (against Minnesota Duluth) and Monday (against Minnesota State Moorhead).
• The Phoenix Coyotes recalled forward Mikkel Boedker from their AHL affiliate in San Antonio. Boedker, 19, was sent to San Antonio on Oct. 14 after he went pointless in five games for the Coyotes.
