Player Wives & Girlfriends

Photos

By now, we all saw Peyton Siva's heartwarming postgame press conference thanking God, his girlfriend, and his family, after helping Louisville win the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship.  While we at PlayerWives went scurrying to find out who Peyton Siva's girlfriend is, someone else went online to discuss the very topic as well.

Enter Jenna Shea, who most people seem to be defining as a "Twitter model." Shea took  offense to Siva's post game appreciation and put him on blast by revealing of explicit text messages and missed phone calls from the Louisville point guard (without blurring our his number, by the way).  The messages clearly took place in the past week as Siva is wearing a Kevin Ware dedication shirt in a couple photos.

Shea went off on Siva and called him out for thanking his girlfriend, but working a sidepiece.  She spent an extended portion of the night defending her actions, and rebuking Siva's:

"It CLEARLY states in my tweets my website my google search IM HERE FOR THE $ u a lame fuck being square? PAY UP and u follow me? FOH
You guys mad at me ? why cuz i keep it real? cuz i don't front? cus he didn't know the protocol?? thats his problem NOT mine
I proved a point MEN ARE DOGS and will cheat he never said he had a GIRLFRIEND his bad NOT mine this is why i stick to MONEY not DATING

The fact anyone doubts me is LAUGHABLE I've been linked to your FAVORITE RAPPER AND NBA PLAYERS past and CURRENT some Peyton is childsplay

The truth hurts but hey jesus and his girlfriend got em LOL but I'm jenna shea somebody shoulda let em kno #POW
Im actually known for 1) MODELING 2) dating famous rich men period do yourself a service its called GOOGLE

This isn't Shea's first time with a basketball player.  Shea made a few waves in 2012 when she revealed that Rockets star James Harden flew her across the country and paid her $20,000 to "sit courtside," though it's not clear if there were more responsibilities associated with the $20K payday.

So far no word from Siva - though, honestly there won't be any word.  Peyton, I do hope you were able to get your phone number changed quickly.... That might be the harshest thing that Jenna Shea did last night.

One of the best parts of March Madness is the random stories you hear from the smaller schools. #15 seed Florida Gulf Coast's head coach Andy Enfield's wife, Amanda Marcum is a perfect example. The little known Enfield has been through the ranks of both college and professional basketball as an assistant coach before taking over as the head coach at Florida Gulf Coast.

Along his journey, Enfield was introduced to Amanda Marcum through a mutual friend. While in Manhattan, Marcum, who is originally from Oklahoma, was in desperate need of a ride to Boston to see her favorite team play in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament. After she hooked up with Enfield, and the rest is history. The couple had their first date shortly thereafter to an NIT game featuring St. Johns, and were engaged less than 6 months later. Andy and Amanda have been married since 2005, and have three children; daughters Aila and Lily, and son, Marcum.

Amanda Marcum was a model who has graced the covers of Elle, Vogue and Maxim, appeared in ads for Liz Claiborne, Armani, & Tommy Hilfiger while also working the runway in the ultra-competitive Manhattan fashion district. Amanda has taken a hiatus from modeling. Enfield explained the rationale behind the decision to the Naples News:

It was hard for her to give her career up. But she loves sports so much and wanted a family and thought this is something she could do. I give her a lot of credit. Very difficult decision on her part to give up something she worked so hard for and had been so good at.

The decision paid off, as Andy has been able to focus on coaching and guide his Florida Gulf Coast Eagles to the tournament and are set to square off against Georgetown. Put us squarely in the camp praying for an upset with this 15/2 matchup.

Question:
You find out that the girlfriend you never met, but whose death you milked to help your Heisman campaign isn't a real human being. What do you do?
Answer
You go find someone more real than the chick that Catfished you, and begin dating her.

That's exactly the case when it comes to the new, real woman, claiming the title of Manti Te'o's girlfriend Alexande del Pilar. In the wake of the incredibly convoluted, confusing saga that is Manti Te'o's fake girlfriend Lennay Kekua word has sprung today that Manti Te'o moved on relatively quickly, and has been dating a new girl for months. Alexandra del Pilar is the lucky woman to replace the ghost of a woman Te'o never met, and is currently a student at St. Mary's College in South Bend, Indiana (Hey, did you know that Notre Dame is in South Bend???). Fascinatingly enough, it would appear that Manti Te'o actually met this woman, based on photographic evidence. What's truly shocking here is that he hasn't been screaming about it all over the world when this one in fact actually appears real. Probably not a good enough story to sink his media hooks in....

TMZ is reporting that the couple has been together for a couple months though have recently broken up (gee, I wonder what could have sparked that??). Reports suggest that del Pilar actually attended the BCS Title game where Te'o got absolutely exposed on the field (which was a truly delicious appetizer to him being exposed off the field 2 weeks later). You know, we should probably watch it, or his father might blacklist us like he did Honolulu Star Advisor after publishing a picture of Te'o getting crushed on the field by Alabama's Eddie Lacy. Because you know,... reporting the real news and photographic evidence to support real news is the real enemy of the Te'o family.

So this is where things get interesting. Does Te'o sack up, tell everyone a story that meshes with the timelines and facts that have been reported thus far,... or does he continue his trail of misdirection, confusion, and outright lies, even after the truth has been exposed (and before you sanctimonious Touchdown Jesus fans come screaming at us, remember that whether Te'o was the victim or not, he continued the lie publicly, in the press, for more than a month after receiving the alleged phone call revealing the truth on December 6th).

Despite the harsh tone of this post, we like Te'o. Maybe he was the victim, maybe he wasn't. That's not germane to this topic. Right now, we know that Manti Te'o was REALLY dating Alexandra del Pilar within the past month. Anything beyond that,... well there are a lot of opinions, facts and rumors for you to sort through. One final legitimate question - How do you think del Pilar felt hearing Te'o refer to Kekua as the true love of his life even after finding out the truth?
