This has totally ruined my day! That's it. Jake (who ran from his soon-to-be-wife only days before the wedding earlier this year) and I have decided to change our sig line to something else.

BUCS BITS: Simms, 23, married his longtime girlfriend a week ago, but the southpaw said he can't throw a football effectively while wearing a wedding ring on his left hand.

The damn link

Bobby, you beat me to posting. I knew this would just ruin your day. Gays across the entire Burnt Orange Nation are shedding a tear today.

Despite that, congrats to Chris! He really deserves all the happiness he can get.

Never was much of a Chris Simms fan in the appeal department (although I did think he got a lot of crap he didn't deserve from Texas fans).

Tim Couch dates a slut (talk about a loss of respect for that fella).


Brian Griese is listed as single on the Bucs website, but I thought I read somewhere he got married. He always seemed like a good guy.

I'm running out of guys!? eek!

No joke about Tim Couch. Didn't that girl leave him for another QB? The guy bought her a car and she left Tim. Nice life choice there, Mr. Couch.

As for running out of guys, well there is always Joey Harrington (as you well know from the giant homage thread in his honor, chock full of photos hehehehe ) as well as Jake Plummer, Jeff Garcia (who may be on your team, not that there is anything wrong with it), Marc Bulger, and did I mention Joey Harrington?

Pretty soon I think someone is going to add J*** H********* to the "He who shall not be named" thread. eek!

Oh please, the man does pilates. We should name him, rope him, tie him up, and love him.

Until he gets married, and then he becomes dead to us, like Chris Simms.

Hands off of Jake, Ms. Lady! I've already lost one man today...and I had to read it on-line! :mad:

I think it was Cade McNown who was involved in a love triangle with Mr. Couch. (That sounds a lot better than I intended it to.) Last I heard McNown was a total flop and a has-been.

Don't you hate that? I mean, that little piece of stalker in you just takes that hit to the stomach when you read stuff like that. Then you feel foolish because you consider yourself a rational, functioning adult and it's not like the guy even lives in your state or anything, but it still hurts.

Perhaps PhillyFan can you help you out in that department.

I've found it helps in most any situation to stop thinking of myself as a rational, functioning adult. Way overserved.

That just scared the gay out of me! eek! eek! eek!

Here's the story on the Cade McNown/Tim Couch love triangle (which as stated above, sounds so much better than really is)....


When the Bears drafted Cade out of UCLA he sheepishly told interviewers that he hated to lose so much that he still hadn't even lost his virginity. Football so consumed him that he had no time for girls. McNown said he was saving himself for marriage after his football career was over.

A Los Angeles Times report says Cade was a frequent visitor to the Playboy Mansion, where he managed to do the ultimate by stealing Hugh Hefner's girlfriend, Brande Roderick, who was 1999's Miss April. Hef was so angry that he permanently banned McNown from the Mansion. That relationship didn't last long. Brande vacationed with McNown in Mexico, and now she's now doing "Baywatch" in Hawaii.
Being banned from the Mansion wasn't enough to stop our celibate stud. Cleveland QB Tim Couch was dating Playmate of the Year Heather Kozar when he made a big mistake by introducing her to McNown. According to Sports Illustrated, McNown began the kind of all-out blitz he can't handle as a QB -- phoning constantly, sending lots of flowers, even sending his Porsche to her. It worked, as Kozar dumped Couch and moved to Chicago to live with McNown. Cade still claims to be a devout Christian who doesn't even read Playboy magazine. "I've never even seen her layout," he says.


Wow, welcome to the cool club!

I don't need Chris Simms to be gay, I just need him shirtless!

But Major Applewhite is still single and waiting for me to move to Austin isn't he?

Major's father's attitude when it came to Simms' playing time really pissed me off and resulted in me disliking Major so much that I still can't stand the Opie. Plus, Major's attitude during his final year was more an air of entitlement.

Cade McNown, presumably in happier times, at the Playboy Mansion. Aggressive props to Pimpit.com for the pic.

A-HA! A friend of mine was in NYC when news of the hush-hush wedding was released after-the-fact and he brought back the wedding announcement for me to see. Jake and I now know what the home-wrecker looks like. At least they will have half-pretty children...if you know what I mean.

Oh, bobby, now I feel bad for smack-talkin you in the CFB threads, you bein' in your time of need 'n' all.

Well, ok, not that bad, but all the same, big hugs to ya.

In another football guy dating bimbo, John Elway wins!

He is dating former Playboy model Carrie Stevens after his wife and him divorced (which apparently a lot of John's fans no longer were fans).......


His 13-month relationship with Stevens is part of the unknown. He keeps her photo behind his desk. But there's no mention of marriage, no hint of her relocating to Denver.

"Who knows?" she says. "I don't have a ring on my finger and we don't talk about that. No matter what happens, he's a person I would want to be friends with my entire life. I truly love him."

He first became aware of her over beers. That is, he was representing Coors in commercials, and she was modeling in ads for Killian's Irish Red. They met through a mutual friend - Bill Phillips, founder of the Golden-based supplement company EAS. They began a long-distance romance in June of last year: movies, picnics, home-cooked meals, chats on the porch, dinners, shopping. She has been shown on television sitting in Elway's booth during Crush games.

"He needed love and I loved him," she says. "He made me feel like the only girl in the world."

Stevens says she had never heard of Elway before they met. It's been a fast education. Now she notices No. 7 jerseys on fans and hears people approach her boyfriend with words like, "You're a God!" Before a Bruce Springsteen concert last August in L.A., an entire section of Dodger Stadium chanted "El-way, El-way" as the former QB and Stevens climbed the stairs to their seats. She has read "Football for Dummies" and "Just 4 Girlfriends: A Simple Guide to Football" to learn about his passion. Her modeling career is over, she says. Next, she wants to host a reality TV show, maybe do more acting. She calls the relationship: "Definitely exclusive and committed."


Well isn't that special.......

Is it just me or does anyone else think John Elway isn't aging very gracefully. I forget what he's pitching in his latest commercial (some kind of drug for bladder control or something, geesh!) but he looks all wrinkly and stuff. Sigh, I used to think he was a hunk but now he's almost like a granddaddy!
