HARTFORD, Conn. (AP)—CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz must pay $916,000 yearly in alimony and child support to his ex-wife and give up their Connecticut home under terms of a newly issued divorce decree.

The ruling, made Monday in Bridgeport Superior Court, dissolves the 26-year marriage of Nantz and Ann-Lorraine “Lorrie” Carlsen Nantz. It comes after both testified about the breakdown of their marriage; Judge Howard Owens concluded neither was at fault.

Nantz, described by Owens as “our nation’s most prominent sportscaster,” filed for divorce last year from his wife after years of marriage counseling, according to the decree.

Although Nantz, 50, acknowledged he started dating a 29-year-old woman before the divorce was final, the judge concluded the marriage deteriorated years earlier and “this remote event in no way contributed to the breakdown of the marriage.”

I think Tommy Manville was just a guy who liked to bed nice girls and in those days she usually demanded a ring for that.

the local radio guy here said he’s been following this case and Nantz’s wife said she pretty much lost all emotional feeling for her husband and had cut him off from her wifey relations years ago.. I don’t think she ever charged he cheated on her once.. the guy got a girlfriend only after the marriage was over but before it was legally finalized

Then he must not have been very good looking because girls back then would still sleep with a really hot guy.

It's just horrific what my friend has to go through.

Sorry, Charlie, but your friend doesn't "have" to go through anything. He's as sick as she is!

I have no personal worth, but from what some FReepers have said on here, I should either not have any material worth, or try to hide everything with no receipts.

You might want to look up “prominent”.

It's the family courts who are above the law, any law.
Those courts are full of feminist activists with no over site.

Doesn’t his wife have a strange disease on her hands? Seriously, like they’re disfigured or something.
