  • Over on the talksports board they this interview all but confirmed Jeter And Kelly were expecting a baby. I didn't hear anything even remotely close to that. I hear he gets rejected often by the girl of his dreams.

  • He's been dating Minka Kelly a year, which has been well documented. The interviewer should have just named her.
