J.J. Watt suggests he isn't dating Caroline Wozniacki anymore

-
The relationship between NFL star J.J. Watt and tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, that seemed to be a sure thing when the two attended the Duke-Wisconsin Final Four game together in April and were spotted in Florida on week later, apparently is no more, if it ever was anything at all. In a glowing Watt profile written by Mike Silver of NFL.com, the player suggests his dating life has been “unsuccessful,” which is either a tacit admission that he and Woz aren’t dating or a really, really good fakeout. Writes Silver:
Ah, to be a bullish Badger fan with good looks and disposable income. When television cameras caught Watt sitting next to Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki during the Wisconsin-Duke title game, there was obvious speculation that they were a couple. Yet if it seems as though Watt is living a charmed dating life, he insists that isn’t the case.

“People [I know] think that I’ve never dated before, or whatever,” Watt says. “But I’m trying. I’m trying. I’m just unsuccessful. My schedule’s so crazy and life’s so busy, it just hasn’t worked.”
Kudos to two media masters. In one corner you have J.J. Watt, who truly seems to be a football version of Captain America. He’s perfect in the eyes of football fans, as he does a ton of good things for people and is careful to never let himself be the one to tell the press about it. (Social media does a fine job of that itself.) His turn on Hard Knockswas basically hagiography. He’s a good dude and knows that as long as he keeps bringing flowers to little girls and going to games with eligible bachelorettes, he’ll get that favorable coverage that’s so important when it comes to fans, image and endorsements, a sport in which players, particularly those on defense, don’t tend to earn a ton of money off the field.

By Edward Jaleyemi O SOGBO —The Ooni of Ife’s  second-in-command and the leader of Ile-Ife traditional kingmakers, the Obalufe (Orunto)  of Iremo quarters, Oba Solomon Omisakin is dead, aged 85. His death may have compounded the  uncertainty surrounding the selection process of the new Ooni of Ife which has resulted in litigations. However informed sources told  Vanguard  yesterday that; ‘’He had concluded the process of selection of the new Ooni before he died.’’ Oba Omisakin’s death is coming barely three months after the death of Oba Okunade Sijuwade in a London hospital. The Obalufe is also the prime minister of Ife and oversees affairs in the town in the absence of an Ooni. Vanguard  gathered that Oba Omisakin’s death occurred at about 10 am yesterday   at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital OAUTH, Ile Ife. Though the circumstance surrounding the death of the 85-year-old Obalufe was still sketchy at the time of fi...

By Edward Jaleyemi DEPARTMENT of State Services (DSS) weekend, in Lagos, commissioned 385 cadet officers in a bid to combat the rising security challenges in the country. The 385 officers were the lucky ones that successfully went through 10 months of rigorous professional, academic and physical training and were certified fit to serve the nation in their capacity as members of DSS, out of the 459 cadet officers that started the training late last year. The officers were commissioned amidst promises by the DSS to COLLABORATE  more with other sister security agencies in its fight against insecurity and to ensure that recruitment into the Service was merit-based in keeping with its extant guidelines. Speaking at the passing out parade at the State Service Academy (SSA), Lagos State, the Director General, SS, Mr. Lawal Daura, said gone were the days when misfits or non-eligible candidates found their way into the Service. “The aim is to ensure that only the right calibers...
