Update Necessary: The Love Interests of Football Players

One of them got lost halfway through Watchmen, no doubt about it.

If anyone comments on this ever, they will likely write, "Who cares?!?" It's a valid point. But honestly, people do care about the unattainable girls that athletes tend to land: just last week, at a work presentation here, a search engine guy told us that people repeatedly search "Brooklyn Decker" on ESPN.Com. She has nothing to do with ESPN; in fact, she's a model mostly for Sports Illustrated. They're media rivals. The reason people are searching her? She's engaged to Andy Roddick. And hot.

This week was a big one in terms of news involving NFL players and their ladies. A recap:

(1) Completely obvious, and everywhere: Tom Brady and Gisele had a second wedding, and shots were fired.

(2) Something you've probably seen already, but needs to be noted: Aaron Rodgers hits up Vegas, chats with a seemingly attractive blond girl at a club, then hung out with the lead singer of Lady Antebellum on Sunday night.

(3) Tony Romo's girlfriend, Ms. Jessica Simpson, was dropped from her country label roughly around the time his ex, Carrie Underwood, won Entertainer of the Year at the ACM Awards.

(4) Apparently Carmella DeCesare Garcia is now managing her husband's foundation out of Oakland.

(5) Ben Roethlisberger's lady, Ms. Missy Peregrym, is back on TV with this new show Cupid.

(6) And if you're wondering what Jay Cutler may be doing in Chicago, this thread is your jump off.
