Alex Morgan’s sister sure has grown up. Katherine Webb was on Jay Leno, taking a fun quiz alongside Kendra Wilkinson and Alexis Bellino.
It’s great to see she shares her sister’s competitiveness, though things didn’t quite work out as planned. Webb lost to famous Housewife Bellino.
Oh, well. Alex doesn’t win them all either.
Alex Morgan stopped by the ESPN campus to promote her new book this week. Along the way, she did some interviews and owned a former NFL player.
Hugh Douglas, who used to be pretty good at hitting people with helmets but now mostly hits the buffet table, decided to stand in net against Morgan. And that’s pretty much as far as he got. He never saw the first two shots, and was only able to make a save when Morgan sent an easy chip his way.
Pretty much what we expected. Nothing to see here.
Alex Morgan dropped her much anticipated children’s book, today: “The Kicks: Saving the Team.”
The book is geared toward middle schoolers but there are plenty of grown men who are awfully excited about it (THIS GUY, for starters).

Over the years, female soccer players have always looked up to the U.S. Women’s National Team, or even their favorite EPL or MLS team for inspiration, never having a solid professional league to follow. That all changed when the new National Women’s Soccer League was introduced this year.
With eight teams, each with a handful of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican national team players, the league looked as though it would be a success. I got the opportunity to attend the Thorns FC home opener in Portland this past weekend against the Seattle Reign, and was amazed at what I saw.
I walked into JELD-WEN Stadium on Sunday, expecting a decent-sized crowd; young girls dressed in their soccer uniforms, in particular. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had drastically underestimated the following that these women would have.

Well, Katherine Webb’s run on ‘Splash’ came to an end recently after she was seen hugging a grown man in a bumblebee suit. I don’t think the above pic had anything to do with her leaving, but it’s definitely worth pointing out. A back injury was the official reason given by Webb, who joined Brandi Chastain on the injured list.
It’s sad to see her go, and we figured big sister Alex Morgan would offer some words of encouragement but she hasn’t done so publicly. Come to think of it, Alex hasn’t acknowledged Katherine’s existence whatsoever. Almost makes you think they’re not really sisters … naw, just too much evidence.
Being passionate means pushing yourself. For me, that goes beyond soccer. When I’m not on the field I’m in the ocean, paddle boarding …”
(Coming back to my senses) Sorry about that, I got lost for a minute there. So this is a new Alex Morgan ad that shows her being passionate and working up a sweat and all that jazz. She encourages us to do more, but every time I watch this ad I find myself doing less.
Look, we’re following Splash! Ok? Get over it. There are too many soccer connections not to. We’ve got Brandi Chastain hurting her leg, Katherine Webb looking amazing and Alex Morgan … who isn’t on the show, exactly, but is always worth mentioning in any circumstance.
Anyway, just thought you’d like to know that Kendra Wilkinson quit Splash last night. She had a total ‘Rabbit from 8 Mile choke’ moment and walked off the show. The above picture is how Webb took the news – attractively, per usual. She’s so cute when she gets all concerned.
Oh, snap! ‘Splash’ is getting crazy. The NBC reality show that features both Brandi Chastain and Alex Morgan’s sister Katherine Webb is breaking news all over the place. Check this out … you ready?
Chastain took a bad ‘Splash’ the other day and apparently injured her leg – that’s her in the above photo either playing water Twister or break dancing with gravity … not interested? Ok, Ok, well how about this: Webb has been struggling with her own ‘Splashes’ and was seen crying on the set … with actual tears!
Still not intrigued!!? … Yeah, my neither. As you were.
Alex is so cute when she’s angry … well, I mean … I imagine she’d be.
I wouldn’t exactly call her angry at the moment but she did playfully call out NBA star Chris Paul and skateboarder/MTV personality guy Rob Dyrdek on Twitter. The three are competing in a March Madness Celebrity Bracket Challenge and Morgan recently submitted her picks. You can view them and the Twitter exchange below.

Alex Morgan, whose goal-scoring pace pretty much rivals anyone in USWNT history, unsurprisingly scored more goals Wednesday. She netted two, to be exact, both in the first half, to lead the U.S. Women’s National Team to a 2-0 win over Germany and give them the Algarve Cup.
Fitting way to end the competition. As Morgan said herself …
#AlgarveCup champions
couldn’t have been a better 3 weeks! #USWNT
