As noted yesterday, Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has a paternity suit coming his way, despite his alleged efforts to keep his impregnated cheerleader quiet with bribes and his desire for her to get an abortion.  It's one of those heartwarming stories.

In an in-depth follow-up to the story, I couldn't find a picture of the cheerleader in question, but industrious Internet wizard Brent sent along this photo of the mom-to-be, Angela Nazario, back when she was in playing shape.  At least I have reason to think it's her.  I mean, the file is called "angela_nazario" — how can it NOT be her?  Plus "Nazario" is one of those names that's, like, Italian or some kinda Spanish, and this chick has dark hair and dark eyes, so that checks out, too.  On the other hand, the photo looks like it could easily be from the early '90s, so maybe Fitty's got himself one of those time-cocks I keep hearing about.

Right.  So anyway, this post seemed like a better idea before I started writing it.  Whatever.  Hey, it's a picture of a cheerleader.  What the hell else do you want from me?

Hooray for cheerleader sex news!  Unfortunately, this is the unsexy kind of sex news, as the sex in question led to the production of a human fetus (Gross!).  As was broken early this past weekend, Cardinals All-Pro wide receiver/cracker enthusiast Larry Fitzgerald has been hit with a paternity suit by a former Oakland Raiders cheerleader named Angela Nazario.

Nazario is seeking child support from Fitzgerald, which he says he'll provide, if he's determined to be the father. A source close to Nazario says he has asked her to "hide" out in a small Arizona town, and asked her to have an abortion. Fitzgerald also allegedly tried to bribe her with offers of houses and cars, and when she declined, he told her "I don't need this all over the news like Matt Leinart."

Indeed he doesn't need this all over the news.  So let's keep it between us, okay?  The only people that have to know are Larry, Angela, the lawyers, and the 50,000 of you who just read about it.  And I know 50,000 sounds like a lot of people, but that's actually not even enough to fill University of Phoenix Stadium or Kim Kardashian's vagina, so it's kind of a secret.  The kid will never have know his father wanted him aborted until the day he Googles his mom's name, so that's nice.
