TTT/possible new Bachelor
 

From the New York Post:

BACHELOR'S GIANT STEP

By DAVID K. LI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

January 22, 2004 -- LOS ANGELES - New York Giants quarterback Jesse Palmer wants to complete a pass at love, and score the woman of his dreams on ABC's "The Bachelor," according to a broadcast report.
The TV news magazine "Extra" is set to reveal in its show tonight that the back-up Giants QB will be the next man looking for love on the popular ABC reality show.

At 6-foot-2 and 219 pounds, the friendly Palmer has thick brown hair and an endearing smile, but he might have one drawback for his female suitors - potential unemployment.

Palmer is soon to be a free agent, and his future with Big Blue - or any pro team - looks cloudy.

Palmer started the final three games of the Giants' miserable season, taking the place of injured Kerry Collins. Big Blue lost all three of Palmer's starts, ending the 2003 campaign on a horrific eight-game losing streak that cost popular coach Jim Fassel his job.

So while Palmer might be in the process of divorce from the Giants and the only pro head coach he's ever known, the 25-year-old bachelor appears ready to score at romance.

Palmer's birthday is Oct. 15, 1978, and he's one of the NFL's few Canadians - born in Toronto and growing up in the province of Ontario. He played football and attended the University of Florida before Big Blue drafted him in the fourth round in 2001.

ABC is now airing its second "Bachelorette" series and Palmer is set to be the fifth "Bachelor." Filming of Palmer's game of love has not started, and his episodes are expected to hit the airwaves this April.

Oh WOW!!!! Jesse Palmer!!!! :D :D :D

I was an undergrad at UF when he was the QB and we would see him out all the time. You cannot possibly understand how F-I-N-E this guy is until you see him in person. Seriously, he sort of glows, it's weird - he is that pretty. I talked to him for maybe 10 minutes once at the Swamp and it was a surreal experience - every friggin' female in a 10 mile radius just glares at you and tries to wink at him, and he's totally oblivious.

He had a long term girlfriend when he graduated, guess that didn't work out. She looked like a supermodel, surprise, surprise. That's so cool that he's the next bachelor - I think that's a little more realistic (haha realism on reality tv) than the firestone guy.

Ladies, believe me, when you see him you will ALL be Gator fans!

GO GATORS!!!

OK, this is a terrible picture...but it should give everyone some idea...

Woohoo!!!! He's Canadian...and from the Tdot! Maybe I'll start watching the bachelor again!

Ok going back to Bachelor Bob, I read an article in UsWeekly yesterday about him and Estella. A "friend" of Bob's said he was never really interested in any of the girls and he only picked Estella because he had to pick someone.

Bob has a new girlfriend, the actress who hosted the ABC Family XYZ'd reruns of the Bachelor/ette series. Estella said something about wishing her the best of luck with Bob and thanking her for taking him off her hands.

Hmmmm....

I don't understand why he has to pick someone?

If the bacehlor/bachelorette is not interested in anyone by the end of the show then they should just walk away. It would bet better for everyone.

Yeah...I think the character she plays is named Greenlee or something (I don't watch the ABC soaps, but I think I remember that from news blurbs and such).

Funny thing is, I remember her from when she played Michelle on Guiding Light, and that was at least back in the beginning years of college for me, so it would be about four years ago! :)

Yeah, she plays Greenlee. Her name is Rebecca Budig. I heard a rumor that they were dating, but didn't think it was true. She could do better, lol.

Not for FOX, it wouldn't! LOL :p ;)

Not for FOX, it wouldn't! LOL

Hey, hey, hey!!! Take it easy on FOX... I work there (but only for 2 more weeks!)

haha, I'm just joking, we make fun of our programming all the time.

i just read this yesterday... he is dating Rebbeca Budig who plays greenlee on "all my children" they both don't deny it and admit it fully.

I loved estella i thought she was sooo sweet and he really screwed her over royally. Though ,when they were at the trista/ryan wedding....what the heck was she wearing or not wearing....hehehehe
