Veteran TV sportscaster Bob Lobel's third marriage is on the rocks, his career is in crisis and he is embroiled in a very public affair with a woman some 20 years younger.
The messy personal meltdown is compounded by the popular CBS4 personality's on-air behavior which, in recent months, has ranged from distracted to somewhat incoherent. And friends of Lobel privately have expressed concern he's having trouble coping with the fallout.
``I know that I have hurt others and I am truly sorry,'' Lobel said in a statement through his agent. ``But this is a private matter between me and my family.''
Sources say Lobel's problems began more than a year ago when things started getting rocky for him and his wife of more than 12 years. Consequently, the 61-year-old sportscaster started an affair with a 40-something woman he met in a Financial District bar.

New England Sports Hub sources tell us that the love interest works at a prestigious law firm in Boston. Names will be protected in the interest of class.

Karma is a bitch; this guy turned on players such as Nomar and Pedro in a blink of an eye, presenting internet rumor as fact if it served his purpose. I guess this gives new meeting to the phrase "Who's your daddy". -Nomarfan
