Alyssa Milano buried Carl Pavano. Tom Brady has hoisted zero Lombardi Trophies while dating Gisele Bundchen. Pat Burrell has never recovered since splitting with Heather Mitts. Reggie Bush’s sophomore slump? Kim Kardashian.
And now, The Big Lead notes that Brad Penny might be yet another athlete snake bitten by a celebrity girlfriend.

Last year, Brad Penny started the season 13-1 with a 2.51 ERA while dating actress Elisha Dushku. Apparently, they split in the offseason – she’s now inexplicably with this character – and we decided to take a peek at how Penny has opened this season devoid of a celebrity girlfriend. The answer: 5-4, 5.09 ERA. He’s experiencing stiffness. If he gets roughed up today, is a DL trip in his near future?
I think the only crime Eliza Dushku has committed here is ever dating Brad Penny in the first place. Well that, and being hot.
