Mike Komisarek
Saviez vous que la blonde de Mike Komisarek, Lindsay Rosen, est l'ex de Carl Pavano ?
eh oui, y'en a qui aime ça les hommes fermes et atlétique ! et qui pourraient lui en vouloir :)
en 2004, dans le Sports Ilustrated....
As it turns out, Pavano's not nearly the "player" the tabloids made him out to be. He wants the world to know he's very much in love with Lindsay Rosen, a restaurant marketing executive in Montreal, whom he met four years ago while pitching for the Expos. Sitting in his living room in West Palm Beach, Pavano flips open his iBook to show off pictures of her. Alongside Lindsay are shots of his parents, his two sisters, Joann and Michelle, his brothers-in-law and a handful of nieces and nephews.
These photos, Pavano says, testify to who he really is, a guy from a tight-knit Italian family, a kid who grew up hunting, skiing and snowmobiling in central Connecticut. His dad, Carmen, owns a dry cleaners in Bristol, Conn., where he takes care of some of ESPN's most famous suits. "He'd leave the house at 5 in the morning and come home after 6 at night," Carl says. "A real hard-working provider." His mom, Ann Marie, is a homemaker and part-time hairdresser who, as Carl puts it, "turns out five-star meals in 10 minutes." He calls his brothers-in-law, Tony and Sal, his two best friends in the world. He says once his new deal is signed, he'll buy a big piece of wooded property near his hometown so his entire family will have a place to gather and play.
The Bachelor? Right now, that's the last thing Pavano wants to be. "I guess it was flattering to be considered," he says. "But fact of the matter is, I'm not a bachelor, much less The Bachelor. I've got a girlfriend, and she's great." Pavano is acutely aware that his playboy image stems from those dates with Milano. "The worst decision I've ever made in my life," he says. "A mistake any young, single guy could make, but at the same time, I hurt someone deeply."
In short, he and Lindsay were going through a rough patch, a let's-see-other-people phase, when he was introduced to Milano at a party after the Marlins won the 2003 World Series in New York. Practically by the time the sun rose, a New York tab's gossip page was saying that Pavano and Milano looked like more than just friends. Their subsequent dates taught Pavano a lesson: partying like a TV star isn't all it's cracked up to be. As cameras clicked and entertainment reporters chattered, Pavano knew in his heart there was someone back in Montreal who loved him long before he outdueled Roger Clemens.
It was Lindsay who helped him focus and start to reach his potential back when he was pitching in front of vendors and the grounds crew at Olympic Stadium. And he wanted to be with her. He ended his relationship with Milano, and he's been trying to make things right with Lindsay ever since. Were this really The Bachelor, Pavano knows who'd get the final rose.
He clicks on another picture. Lindsay is thin and blonde, naturally pretty. No makeup. No posing. In the shot, she's cooking dinner for two in the apartment Carl rents in Montreal. "That's where I live in the winter," he says. "I also have a house north of the city. I love it there. I love the people, their substance. I feel very much at home there."
