Carson Palmer’s wife Shaelynn Palmer isn’t interested in a roommate. After Chad Ochocinco announced he would be moving in with the Palmer’s in the months leading up the Bengals training camp, Carson quickly denounced that idea. However it appears that Carson wasn’t the only one making that decision.
Carson says, “As soon as I walked in the door from work the other day, she just gave me that look. I’m like, ‘Whoa, calm down. It’s media stuff. It’s Chad being Chad. I told her, ‘Don’t worry. I haven’t made any commitments to having to clear out the boxes in the spare room to make a bed for him. Don’t worry about that. It’s not going to happen.”

Carson Palmer met his wife Shaelynn at USC Freshman Athlete orientation where Shaelynn Palmer played soccer. The two were married July 5, 2003 with Carson’s brother and teammate Jordan Palmer serving as best man. Shaelyn gave birth to the couples first children in January, 2009, having twins: one boy and one girl.

Carson Palmer and his Shaelyn Palmer live in Laguna Beach in the offseason, and are extremely active in that community. During the summer, the two hosted a charity golf tournament for Hillview Acres Children’s Home: a live in facility that treats abused and neglected children ages 6-18. The two also funded the construction of a new building on that campus, named The Carson and Shaelyn Palmer Cottage.

Kevin Kolb’s wife Whitney Kolb was one of the rare women willing to date a younger man. Kevin met his future wife Whitney Huddleston at Stephenville High School when Kevin was a freshman and Whitney was a senior. After dating through high school, the two took a 2-plus year break when Kevin went to college. They later reconnected and were married in February, 2007.

Today, they live in the Philadelphia suburb of Woolwich Township, NJ with their children: Kamryn, born in January, 2009 and Atley Rose, born in April, 2010. Whitney earned a partial college scholarship in basketball and golf. Kevin admits that she still beats him in golf to this day.

Todd and Ashley began dating in high schol and were married shortly before the Todd’s rookie training camp in 2001. Together, they have three children, daughter Brooklyn born in 2002, and twin sons Preston and Kyle born in 2006. The two are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and plan on embarking on a senior mission once all of their children are adults.

When Heap arrived to his rookie training camp, HBO cameras picked up him getting some sage advice by outspoken veteran, Tony Siragusa:
“Listen, man, lemme give you some advice. Your wife is very good-looking. Very beautiful wife, very nice. Do not bring her around here.”
Looks like Heap took The Goose’s advice as the two are still together.

You ever find yourself feeling bad for a professional athlete?

I suppose ‘bad’ is relative, as it can’t be all terrible to be a multi-millionaire celebrity in peak physical condition in the prime of your life. But still, Larry Fitzgerald is a transcendent talent stuck with terrible quarterbacks and a revolving door of coaches, coordinators and teammates. Fortunately, has some level of calm off the field thanks in large part to Larry Fitzgerald’s girlfriend Brooke Stewart.

Actually, let’s backtrack that for a second. We do not have confirmation that Larry and Brooke are dating, but have found a number of items linking the two, including a Pittsburgh radio host going on air with this information. The best indication we’ve ever found about Larry Fitzgerald’s girlfriend is that he began dating Brooke while attending Pitt where she played basketball. Brooke does follow both Larry Fitzgerald Sr and Jr on Twitter, retweeting a message sent following the passing of Larry Jr’s mother.

Brooke Stewart is a VIP Server at Pure Night Club in Las Vegas, and was in the running for the title of SpyOnVegas’ Sexiest Server. In her biography, Brooke recounts her funniest story from working in Vegas:

Just moved to Vegas, started working at Pure. First table of the night was celebrating a birthday, the head of the table asked me really nicely for party favors. I frantically went around the club looking for New Years Eve’s novelty party favors. Came back with novelty party favors, the look on the guys face was confused. When I asked what’s wrong, he replied this is not the party favors I was looking for. Unfortunately had to have him removed from the club and I learned really fast what that was.

There were rumors, which have been all but debunked, that Fitz got married this offseason. We’ll keep an eye on the left ring finger to see if anything shows up. Until then, let’s file this one under,…. maybe.

UPDATE 09/19/2014: Details have started to emerge in the incident involving multiple injuries to Jonathan Dwyer’s wife Kayla Dwyer.

According to official court documents, Jonathan is alleged to have head butted his wife in the face, breaking her nose in the process. The incident took place as Jonathan “attempted to kiss her and remove her clothing.” After telling him to stop without success, Kayla Dwyer allegedly bit his lip, which caused the headbutt.

Kayla Dwyer left the home, but returned after he texted a picture with a knife and threatened to kill himself. The report continues that “She said he had threatened to kill himself in front of her and their child if she alerted the police to the assault.”

The following day the couple fought again, where Dwyer is alleged to have punched her in the face. As the argument ensued, Dwyer picked up a shoe and threw it at their 17 month old child, hitting him in the stomach. When trying to call police, Dwyer took her phone and threw it out the second story window of their home.

Dwyer has admitted to two arguments, including details such as being bit on the lip, punching walls, and texting the suicidal photo with a knife. He denies all physical assault caused by him.

The Cardinals running back has been placed on the Non-Football Injury list for the remainder of the season. No court date has been set yet.

According to police reports, Dwyer allegedly assaulted his wife Kayla at their home on July 21, only to return and do the same on July 22. Police list two victims in the assaults, his 27 year old wife and their 18 month old child. The assaults have reportedly led to multiple broken bones, though unclear which, and who suffered the breaks.

Kayla Dwyer left the state of Arizona with their son shortly after the altercations.

Interestingly, a police report was not filed for nearly two months, until September 11, 2014. It could be inferred that with all the media swirling around the domestic violence incidents involving Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson, a victim may have potentially felt empowered to report her own suffering.

Jonathan Dwyer has been interviewed by police, but denies any physical assault. He is currently being booked on 6 charges, including assault, aggravated assault causing a fracture, aggravated assault involving a minor, criminal damage and preventing the use of phone in an emergency. The Cardinals have deactivated Dwyer and banned him from team facilities and all functions while the process plays out.

Jonathan and Kayla Dwyer were married September, 2012 and have one child, Jonathan Dwyer Jr. Dwyer once talked about his family saying,

Those two people are my motivation every day to do what I’ve got to do. They make me wake up every day and go work my butt off.

We will withhold commentary until the facts come out and a resolution is found. And when they do, we anticipate having plenty to say.

Calais Campbell’s girlfriend Rocio Sebhatu has got a dazzling smile and seems to love goofing around for the camera. Her friends and her have taken some great “make a face” pictures together, and Calais himself joins in when he gets the opportunity. Together, they form the “we are not serious-faced folks” photography group. We’ve come a long way since the days when people took daguerreotypes looking like corpses in the 1800’s.

Recently, Calais and his girlfriend Rocio celebrated his birthday at Flemings Steakhouse (nice choice) by making it into a charity fundraiser. Calais’ charity is called the CRC Foundation, and it specializes in teaching youths skills that aren’t taught in classrooms but are generally very valuable. Some of those skills include budgeting, drug and alcohol awareness, cooking, diversity awareness, and writing. I wonder what the class on diversity awareness is like. Do they all tell stories about how every human is, at their core, striving to eat at Flemings Steakhouse?

Rocio works for or at least used to work for a group called the National Society of Black Engineers, and she went to yet another dinner with her fellow workers. Basically the NSBE is a big society of black engineers. It’s just what it sounds like. They’re looking for some quality gigs, and Rocio helps hook them up when there’s a need for repair, and Rocio herself has been known to post on their website looking for engineers with particular skills to do a job. For example, “Anyone with heat exchanger experience? Need an engineering job in SoCal? Let me know, I’ve got a contact looking to hire.” So, there you have it. She may or may not still be working for the NSBE, but she’s keeping herself looking very sharp, and she’s a fan of Capella Salon in the Upper East Side of New York City. She definitely gets her maintenance tips from the hair gurus there.

Patrick Peterson’s wife Antonique Peterson grades his game performances and reviews her notes from the game with him after every contest. Patrick was quoted as saying “She’s doing something great in her field, and she challenges me each and every Sunday to do well. She sends me speeches before every game, and afterward, she gives me a grade.” I really dig the fact that his wife takes an active role in shaping his skills and self-awareness on the field. This is the best kind of support for those players that like to always improve. He’s possibly the best cornerback in the league. At least his coach thinks so. The man knows how to pick the football out of the air.

So just what is it that Patrick Peterson’s wife Antonique does in her field? She is studying to become a doctor. You gotta’ love a player wife– a woman married to a millionaire athlete– who is making the enormous effort to become a doctor and have a serious career for herself. No time for shallow self-worship with poolside selfies here! This woman is going to help people. Antonique is from New Orleans, and the couple was married there. In a recent interview on a local Arizona ABC news station, Antonique talked about being an NFL wife with a few other wives of players on the Cardinals. Sitting beside Antonique, Mike Leach’s wife started sounding like a psychological therapist or grief counselor and said: “When he walks through that door, I want this to be his safe place.” This sort of worry is rational, however, as NFL players face a lot of serious injuries and head trauma.

That’s why Antonique becoming a doctor is awesome! By the time Patrick’s career is winding to a close, she can treat him and diagnose all of those cranial impacts. She is quoted in the interview saying “Oh wait, Patrick, I have to study. So it’s not all about you any more.”

Not much is known about Frostee Rucker’s wife Danielle Rucker other than they were married this year in Gilbert, Arizona and that she’s been dating him for a good four years or so. Formerly Danielle McGraw, she apparently worked at a place called Stanley’s Pub back in Cincinnati when he was on the Bengals. Now, there’s a world of spiteful talk out there on the internet forums about this relationship, and we’re going to ignore all of it because it all wreaks of hearsay. Suffice to say that big Ruck and Danielle are living a happy life in beautiful Arizona. Now let’s take a look at what we do know about Danielle…

Piecing together information about Frostee’s wife Danielle from that fountain of saved internet artifacts, Pinterest, we can see that she’s paid some attention to Frostee in looking for ideas for a man cave for him. All of the obvious pictures and links are there– humongous flat screen televisions, huge leather couches, alcohol, and one man cave that Danielle commented on had a stripper pole. She said “Who says women aren’t allowed in a man cave?” Danielle is also a religious person, with emphasis on faith and prayer for her husband.

Frostee’s wife Danielle also has “baby fever” on her mind, as she has labelled a section of her interests that way. I have no idea if Frostee shares the enthusiasm for a kid, but Danielle is most decidedly geared up to be a house wife. She has spent a lot of time scouting out ideas for home furnishing and even houses to live in. She’s also keenly aware of Frostee’s payscale, as she’s bookmarked some ultra high end estates as the types of places to look out for if not own outright. From our perspective, this marriage looks like it’s running just fine.

Bruce Arians’ wife Christine Arians has very good reason to be proud of her husband. Bruce Arians took over as head coach for 12 games for the Indianapolis Colts after head coach Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with cancer and had to take a long leave of absence to get treatment. Pagano then miraculously went into remission, and he reassumed his spot as head coach from Arians on Christmas Eve of 2012. Not only that, but Bruce himself survived prostate cancer! That’s pretty awesome if you ask me. Those are some tough coaches. Well, now Bruce is head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, and his wife is proud as can be. Though I do sort of wish they’d change the name of their stadium to anything but the University of Phoenix Stadium.

Bruce’s wife Christine has been with him for quite a long time, as they had two kids in 1978 and 1980. Their son born in 1978 is named Jake, and he actually made it to the NFL and played briefly as a placekicker in 2001. Any time a coach’s son makes it into the NFL, he’s got to consider that a bonus right? It’s hard as hell to make it to the NFL in any capacity.

Both Bruce and wife Christine recently held their second golf fundraiser, called the Georgia Celebrity Golf Classic at Reynolds Foundation. This was to support the Arians Foundation, started by Bruce and Christine in order to raise money to help kids who have suffered from child abuse. Christine herself was a lawyer for many years, and she was a special advocate to help kids who’d been through tough times. So you can see that Christine is a good person and helps Bruce himself be a better man. Bruce said he was thrilled to have the annual golf competition and to spread the message.

Ryan Lindley’s wife Lindsay Lindley took one for the team by inheriting his last name. I wish his last name was simply “Lindsay,” as a Lindsay Lindsay has got to be a super rare name. “Lindsay” itself is an interesting name if you stare at it and sort of unpack it as a word, don’t you think? Anyway, enough getting sidetracked– let’s learn about our dear Lindsay.

Ryan’s wife Lindsay grew up in the great city of New York, NY, and she was apparently a talented dancer, having started at the young age of four. She decided to give up dancing when she was 14, and she turned to track & field. She may have sensed it was an opportunity for a scholarship (which it turned out to be). I’m not sure how many schools give out dancing scholarships, but it can’t be many. She turned herself into a track star and earned a full scholarship to the awesome UCLA. Man, that’s amazing. I imagine she must have been crushing people in high school to earn that. She attended the school, got a degree in political science, and now she’s a behavioral health technician at a children’s group home, which I think means she administers medicine to kids without families and keeps them in line. So she’s definitely got a big heart.

The story of Ryan and his wife Lindsay meeting happened at a College Christian group winter retreat while they were both attending different colleges. They met, stars appeared in their eyes, and they got hyped up about each other and talked some shop in the name ‘o the Lord. “You dig Christianity? Me too!” Ryan talked with her on the phone for awhile, then invited her to San Diego to spend the weekend. Long story short, they dated for two years before Lindley popped the question on a mountain top.

Jerraud Powers’ wife Leah Smith-Powers is the mother of two young whippersnappers and a vacationer of the lovely and high-priced Cabo San Lucas. This summer, the fam traveled down to that great Mexican getaway to soak up some scorching hot rays. One would think they’d be interested in traveling to a much more temperate climate during the summer, but that is simply not the case. You can imagine traveling in June from Arizona to Cabo. You’re going from an average mean temperature of 90.8 to an average mean temperature of 77.5. I ‘spose in a sense you’re going there to chill out?

Back when Leah and Jerraud were sporting Colts jerseys, they lived in another fairly hot and muggy place: Decatur, Alabama. Jerraud was born there and went to high school in the same town. You might guess that Jerraud Powers’ wife Leah is also an Alabama girl, and you’d be right. In fact, she attended school at Alabama while Jerraud was at Auburn. He mentioned once in a brief interview that all of his best friends from home are Alabama fans, and they send him Alabama stuff during Christmas and birthdays. He said he sends it all back. Weirdly, his wife’s best friend’s sister makes children’s books, and she sent them an Alabama bedtime stories book, which he also sent back! The lady got mad at them for that. That’s pretty funny to me. Apparently Jerraud won’t even let Leah hang her degrees in the house, which sounds pretty mean to me. Boy, these SEC rivalries are intense, huh?

I haven’t done an in-depth analysis of a wife’s tweets in awhile, and now is a good time to check out Jerraud Powers’ wife and her tweeting style. She tends to favor short, factual and upbeat tweets about what she’s up to. She never gets too detailed, and she very rarely has anything but a sense of humor about things. This is the ideal tweeting style for a lovely 20-something wife, in my humble opinion. I know that’s a very specific classification, but I’m just trying to say that I like the way she packs all the information in. Some examples are “My face is on fire…waxing after pregnancy is a no no! I’ll stick to threading!” and the ever-entertaining description about her kid throwing up in her armpit. If ever there was a “normal, cool mom” type, she’s it.

Larry Fitzgerald’s ex-girlfriend Angela Nazario is the mother of one of his children and the holder of a restraining order against him. This restraining order is the result of an alleged domestic assault in 2008 after she visited his home with their son. Angela has since moved on from the event, and her child is now at least seven years old. She lives in Phoenix, Arizona and never moved away after the restraining order was filed, so she hopes she doesn’t run into Fitzgerald at bars since he’s still playing for Arizona.

Essentially what allegedly happened between Larry Fitzgerald’s ex-girlfriend and him was that they got into a shouting match, he asked her if she wanted to play fight, she hit him in the face, and he allegedly grabbed her by the hair, tossed her across the room and then slammed her down onto the marble floor. Angel said of the event:

I was disoriented for awhile and could not get up, I remember he mumbled something about ‘that’s what happens when you try taking my son away from me.’

Of course, this is all alleged, and there’s no surefire way to know if Nazario’s story is 100% true.

Part of the reason Angela never moved away is because she’s originally from Flagstaff, Arizona, and all of her family is right there in Arizona. Heck, she’s still a Cardinals fan! Her son Devin is now an avid snowboarding enthusiast, and she takes him to the mountains when it’s the skiing season. Mr. Fitzgerald also spends a good amount of time with his son. The thing about these domestic violence things is that they don’t entirely define who an individual is, and even if Fitzgerald did beat up Angela, it doesn’t make him a bad person. Good people make bad mistakes sometimes, though.

David Johnson’s girlfriend Meghan Brock​ has been counting down the days until she can officially say “this man is mine.” She put up a post on her Instagram recently that talked about the exact number of days until she could say as much (in case you thought I was making that up for effect). The actual engagement happened sometime very close to June 5 of 2015, as that was the date David posted the picture of her holding up her ring, newly placed on her finger. I’d bet money that was the actual date too since people who use social media regularly quickly become highly efficient at disseminating big life events on the day they happen. Their wedding is scheduled for April of 2016.

The couple have a very young black labrador retriever that they got in June, and his name is Emmitt. You can guess who he’s named after. David Johnson’s girlfriend Meghan takes a lot of the same health supplements that the big guy does, and he takes a helluva’ lot of them. He took a picture of all of them in a kind of display and addressed it to Meghan, saying that he got them the very best ones. I like a couple that’s committed to health like that, but for me it’s nearly impossible to stay consistent the way disciplined professional athletes and their fiancees tend to. The couple reside in a house that was bought in May when the family-settling process had just begun. Think about the efficiency of it all: within one month, they bought a house, bought a new family dog, and got engaged. That’s a whirlwind of future planning right there. I suppose I should mention they got a fully-loaded Dodge Charger in that same timeframe.

Meghan is your classic supportive football girlfriend. Blonde, religious, incredibly devoted chronicler of his career and ambitions. What more could you want? She’s 22 years old, and she loves chocolate and hanging out with Emmitt the labrador. The sports agency that represents David recently sent David Johnson’s girlfriend a large shipment of fancily-wrapped chocolates, and she was more than happy to accept the thoughtful gift. When they went out to a Chinese restaurant a few months before, Meghan received a fortune cookie message that read “a sporting event will bring good changes to your life.” This lady has got some good food connections happening!

Chandler Catanzaro’s girlfriend Anna Cate Miller is a blonde Ole Miss cheerleader. I immediately start wondering if she’s a natural blonde. If she isn’t, then she bleaches the hell out of her hair. My guess is she’s a dirty blonde, but who cares besides blonde fetishists like me? Anna is a pretty lady. She enjoys hiking and running. She’s recently been to Washington to do some outdoor activities, and she travels a good amount for someone who’s entrenched in college and athletics. Most of that is due to being a cheerleader. They’ve got to travel with the team.

Anna was finishing high school less than two years ago. She was modeling towards the tail end of that time. I saw pictures of her with a date from the senior prom, and it appeared that she’d planned on going with some other gents before she settled on the fella’ she went with. She generally has the exact same smile and pose in every single photograph. The effect of looking at many of her photos at once is something akin to looking at mannequins set up in various store backgrounds and displays. Chandler Catanzaro’s girlfriend is a sweet girl with an extroverted personality. She loves to be around sunny people, and she feeds off the energy of her fellow cheerleaders. Anna’s taken several pictures with Tim Tebow in the past year. I think she’s got a bit of a thing for him even though there’s nothing happening there.

Based on what I’ve seen, Anna Cate Miller’s been known to take around a male cheerer and use him as a faux boyfriend to shield her from would-be suitors. I could be totally wrong, but it looks like a pattern in several photographs. It’s a smart play for any lovely lady who likes to go out and party. Getting hit on can get boring when you’ve already got a cool placekicker boyfriend. I believe her relationship with the “Cat Man” started sometime in the summer of 2015, as she’s been spotted with other dudes prior to that. Who knows what the status of those relationships were, though. I recognized one of the guys from her high school days, so I’m guessing she was just hanging out with an old pal. Nowadays, Chandler Catanzaro’s girlfriend has got her life firmly together and cheery as can be.

Michael Floyd’s girlfriend Maddy Thomas is a beautiful young blonde lady who’s been with Mr. Floyd ever since college. However, I’m convinced that she attended Michigan State University and not Notre Dame. Floyd was a graduate of Notre Dame. Maddy has been photographed with a bunch of her sorority friends, and they were all wearing MSU Spartans gear. It looks like she even spent a semester abroad during her college days. She spending time in an apartment in Paris back in 2012. This was likely before she’d met Floyd. She added London to her European extravaganza in April of 2012 and was back in the States by September of that year.

During college, Michael Floyd’s girlfriend kept a kind of short visual diary using Vine. Though I myself never used Vine, I prefer it as a separate entity from Twitter. When you check out Maddy’s old visual diary, it’s pretty compelling since it’s all just videos of her and her college buddies. She now prefers Instagram to show off her goofy exploits with Floyd. It’s a different world now that he’s a professional. She’s set up shop in Arizona with him. Back in the day, she was documenting how “type-A” Michael was when his massage therapist was late and he was freaking out. These kinds of videos do indeed offer a glimpse into a one’s personality. Maddy is not like Michael in this way. The couple complement each other.

The most high-profile appearance by Michael Floyd’s girlfriend was made with him and Kyle Rudolph at a charity event. It was for the Starkey Hearing Foundation and was held for people with hearing troubles, as you might have guessed. Maddy looks mighty pretty in a red carpet dress. She’s both full-figured and athletic at the same time. What a catch! I also watched a short and very random video of Maddy on YouTube in which she gave a brief testimonial about how good some realtor is. She also has a funny habit of mispronouncing the world “realtor” as “realitor.” So now you know that.

Todd Heap’s wife Ashley Heap is the mother to his five children. Police were called to their Mesa Arizona home on the afternoon of Friday, April 14.. Heap accidentally struck his youngest daughter while moving his pick up truck in the driveway.  The little girl later passed away at a local hospital.  Police have indicated that there no foul play or signs of driver impairment.  It appears to be the most tragic of accidents.  It is unclear if Todd Heap’s wife was home at the time.

NFL players and fans alike have been flooding the Heap family with support and prayers since the incident. The Baltimore Ravens released the following statement:

“We cannot imagine the heartbreak and sorrow Todd and Ashley’s family feels right now. This is knee-buckling news and an overwhelmingly sad tragedy. Our prayers, our thoughts and our hearts are with the Heaps, who have contributed so much to the Ravens and Baltimore community. We believe their deep faith and tremendous support from friends and family will help them through this unimaginable time.”

Absolutely gutted for Todd Heap and his family. Thoughts are with them in this incredibly tough time.

The Arizona Cardinals also released a statement:

“Our hearts go out to Todd, Ashley and the Heap family. It is a grief that is beyond words and one which no family should ever experience. Hopefully the prayers, love and support of their incredible group of friends and family provide them comfort that along with their strong faith will lead them through this unspeakably difficult time.”

Todd Heap is well known for his charity.  But, Todd Heap’s wife is equally as regarded for her efforts as well.  They began dating in high school.  The couple married shortly before the Todd’s rookie training camp in 2001.  During his time in Baltimore, the Heap’s became so ensconced in the community that they had a pediatric center named after him.  After all that the Heap family has done for their communities, this outpouring of love and support is not at all surprising.

Our thoughts are with the Heap family during this unfathomably tragic time.

Carson Palmer’s wife Shaelynn Palmer may have plans that interfere with Cardinals fans plans.

Carson Palmer’s wife is due February 7 with the couple’s fourth child.  For those without the luxury of a calendar in front of them, February 7 also happens to be the date of Super Bowl 50.  And while the lede was a little misleading, fear not Cardinals fans.  Carson Palmer has it covered:

“I’m not missing any football.  I’ve been fortunate enough to be present at three of my kids’ births. If I miss one, you miss one.”

The Palmers have it covered, with doctors ready to go in both Arizona, and in the San Jose area.  As this is the couple’s fourth child, they’re hoping she delivers early.  But if not, they plan to have her induced, or deliver via C-Section in the week before the big game.  This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this life battle play out.  Last year, Richard Sherman faced the same dilemma.  Fortunately for Sherman, his little guy waited till the week after.  I’m sure that helped ease the pain of that game.

Carson Palmer’s wife Shaelynn met him at USC Freshman Athlete orientation where Shaelynn Palmer played soccer. The two were married July 5, 2003 with Carson’s brother and teammate Jordan Palmer serving as best man. Shaelyn gave birth to the couples first children in January, 2009, having twins: one boy and one girl.

Carson Palmer’s wife lives with him in Laguna Beach in the offseason, and are extremely active in that community. During the summer, the two hosted a charity golf tournament for Hillview Acres Children’s Home: a live in facility that treats abused and neglected children ages 6-18. The two also funded the construction of a new building on that campus, named The Carson and Shaelyn Palmer Cottage.

Pat Tillman’s wife Marie Tillman recently expressed her unhappiness about the politicizing of his service. A lot of media attention has fallen upon Marie since the President retweeted pictures of him. She added that she thought we are too great a country for that. She said a few more things about the country’s leadership afterward. Marie clearly isn’t happy about any of it. Since the death of Pat, Marie started a group called the Tillman Foundation.

Recently, Pat Tillman’s wife Marie Tillman talked about the foundation on AZ Central. The interview occurred in 2014. She explained the foundation supports veterans through scholarships. In 2014, they boasted 290 scholarships across the country, according to her. That’s pretty impressive if you ask me. Is it hard to pay for college? Yes! Since the time Pat died, Marie remarried. However, she retained the Tillman last name. Her husband is named Joe Shenton. Marie also gave birth to a young girl. She is now around three years old. They frequently visit Marie’s parents in California with the baby.

Originally, Marie comes from a neighborhood called Almaden. She met Pat in high school when she cheered the football team on. Yes, Pat Tillman’s wife once was a cheerleader. The same year she interviewed about the foundation, Marie also started a company. From the looks of it, the company is also doing well! It provides a curated wardrobe for babies and toddlers. A parents goes online, takes a style quiz about their kid, and then the stylists at the company make a box and send it to the parents. After that, the parents keeps what they and the kid likes and sends the rest back. I guess the idea is to simplify your life if you’re really busy. The company sends a six to nine pieces of clothes. It does sound clever but also expensive.

Drew Stanton’s wife Kristin Stanton is the mother of their two children, a boy and a girl. The boy’s name is Asher. He is the oldest and their first child. He arrived before Sports Illustrated first mentioned his younger sister’s arrival in an article from November of 2014. The article recapped the story of her pregnancy and how Drew received the news. After a game, she texted him and told him to get home quickly after the game finished. Kristin also mentioned the contractions started. According to the article, Drew stopped into a grocery store to buy food. He also bought a bottle of champagne for when the baby arrived.

In fact, Drew Stanton’s wife is not the only person who leapt into an adventure. The birth came exactly one day after Drew himself took over for Carson Palmer. Palmer experienced an injury, and Drew took the reins. AZ Central mentioned this in a brief article about the couple’s second child and her arrival. Since it was the second child, the couple already had experience with births. They were already married for about five years at that point. The couple lived in Detroit, New York and Indianapolis before Arizona picked up Drew in 2013.

Of course, now they call Phoenix their home. The family photos that Drew Stanton’s wife share on social media are all taken in the red rock desert setting. The couple married in a very large church in Michigan. The site makes sense since they both grew up in that state. According to the their official wedding blog, they met in high school. When Drew left for Michigan State University, Kristin also attended. They married on July 24, 2009. There are dozens of pictures still available online from the event. Kristin wore a lovely and traditional white wedding gown. Drew’s tuxedo was dark blue with pinstripes.

Drew occasionally shares pictures of him and the family on social media. On July 8, 2016 he posted a picture of all of them at a laid back steakhouse. According to Drew Stanton’s wife and her own social media, the family also own dogs. Additionally, the couple are highly involved in charity events such as the High 5ive Foundation, which raises money for people with disabilities. Drew started the group. On June 16 of 2017, they raised $80,000 at their Celebrity Golf Outing. The event took place in Lansing, Michigan, according to the foundation’s website. Pro athletes from the NHL, NFL, and NBA attended.

DeAndre Hopkins took over all the headlines on day one of the 2020 NFL free agent frenzy.  With his trade to Arizona, DeAndre Hopkins’ girlfriend was a popular topic to be searched in the Phoenix area.  And while we do’t have any info on acurrent girlfriend, there’s been a few ex-girlfriends to come across our page during the years.

And without furher adieu.

DeAndre Hopkins girlfriend Amina Blue

This one caught us off guard, but thanks to our friends at SportsGossip.com, we’ve learned about Amina Blue.  

Apparently DeAndre Hopkins’ girlfriend (ex-girlfriend) gave birth in April on 2019.  Unfortunately what we don’t know is whether or not the baby is DeAndre’s.  We also don’t know how long these two were an item, if they are still together, or hell, if they ever really were.  Either way congratulations are in order to at least Amina for the new kiddo.  Hell of a lot of work whether the dad is a star WR or not!

DeAndre Hopkins’ girlfriend Colleen Crowley

DeAndre Hopkins girlfriend Colleen Crowley may be a familiar name to you. You might remember us telling you about Johnny Manziel’s girlfriend Colleen Crowley back in March of 2015. For Johnny and football fans across the galaxy, that may seem like ages ago given what happened to the guy. Colleen wrote in an affidavit that Manziel beat her up and threatened to kill both of them. The details of that are very disturbing.

Colleen is a professional model and a petite one at that.  DeAndre Hopkins’ girlfriend was allegedly outraged by the photos of Manziel that came out after the investigation.  This all happened in February of 2016. I would have been angry too if I were Colleen. But this isn’t about Johnny Manziel, it’s about Colleen and her road to having a good time without a lunatic allegedly throwing her in cars and threatening her life. Little is known about how she met DeAndre, but if she was hanging around a lot of NFL players while she dated Johnny, then I’d imagine she would have good access to them.

DeAndre is a cool guy, and he often goes to NBA games when he’s not training or playing. Maybe DeAndre Hopkins’ girlfriend will be accompanying him to some sporting events soon? It’s too soon to tell whether this is a real relationship or not, but I imagine it could be. When an NFL player puts up a picture of himself with his arm around Colleen Crowley, it’s rarely by accident.

DeAndre Hopkins Girlfriend Jennifer Lemmons

“Instagram was hacked , this is his girlfriend he’s in meetings with no phone , have some respect ppl.”

Jennifer Lemmons, a.k.a. Deandre Hopkins’ girlfriend wanted to let the world know it was fake. After the internet went crazy with the graphic, handheld very NSFW selfie that showed up on Hopkins’ Instagram account early on November 13, 2013, Lemmons let us know he was hacked. As the picture made it’s rounds online, and most of the internet buzzed that this was another example of questionable behavior from Hopkins (go Google the story about his smeared hotel room at the NFL combine), Hopkins was more than lucky to have a defender in his corner who quickly helped to diffuse the brewing situation.

But coming out of this, people quickly wanted to know: Who is Deandre Hopkins girlfriend, the Twitter savior?

Deandre Hopkins and Ms Lemmons both went to Clemson together, though she does not appear to be living in Houston during Hopkins rookie season. Lemmons originally hails from Lexington, SC before taking on college at Clemson where she is currently a sophomore.
