When Engagements Go Wrong

It is not just us regular slobs that have troubles with dating or our love lives. No, these issues can happen to athletes and other famous people as well. Just ask Roy Williams of the Dallas Cowboys.

Williams is suing his ex-girlfriend to recover an engagement ring he sent her worth approximately $76,000, which she claims she lost. This ring was part of a package that Williams mailed to her in February that included $5000 for a dental procedure, a baseball for her brother, and a videotaped marriage proposal.

Now, I realize that I am no expert on relationships, as most of mine have been as horrifying as Pauly Shore acting. However, I would think that sending a videotaped marriage proposal would not exactly work. I mean, why couldn't Williams go there in the first place? It was February, so it's not like the Cowboys were playing for the Super Bowl. Hell, they weren't even in the playoffs. With the impeding lockout, it was not as though he had any pressing 'voluntary' football training commitments. No, this was just being lazy. It is no wonder she turned him down.

So Roy Williams, take your rejection like a man and keep the legal system out of it. It's what the rest of us do, unless we are getting hit with restraining orders for stalking.
