Redirkulous Rumor Patrol: Nowitzki Is Not Engaged, ESPN Says

Earlier today, mediatakeout.com reported that Dirk Nowitzki was engaged to Dallas art curator Jessica Olsson, who, if my Google fingers are correct, is/was the collections manager for the Goss-Michael Foundation.

But then ESPN confirmed that the report was erroneous. So there you go.

But before I end with that, let me give other media outlets who kinda ran with the story a pro tip or two:

  1. Do not take as gospel the word of a website that makes frequent use of the caps lock button, and overuses exclamation points.
  2. Do not take as gospel the word of a website that confuses “here” and “hear.”

Glad I could help. Go Mavs! *

*appropriate use of exclamation point

  1. She has an interesting backgound. She is very young (under 21) but has been working at Michael Goss for a couple years. She is also biracial (half white/half black). Hopefully, she is not crazy.

  2. S-she is not under 21, she is 30 and a very, very nice girl. Dirk is lucky to have her!

  3. If she really is thirty then she looks good for her age. I thought she was younger than her twin brothers (who are in their early 20s).

  4. Also – Do not take as gospel the word of a website that uses photos from a Google image search than plants a banner across as if say it is exclusive content.
