UPDATE: 05/06/2013: Breaking up is hard to do. No question about it. And when there's a $785,000 engagement ring involved, things can often get even trickier.

That's exactly the case for Mario Williams and ex-fiancee Erin Marzouki. The couple was engaged in February, 2011 just weeks before Mario Williams signed a $100M contract with Buffalo (though only $50M guaranteed, and about half of that up front). Williams splurged for a 10-carat ring that cost him more than $785,000. Unfortunately after Marzouki broke off the engagement in January of 2012, Mario Williams was left wanting that nearly $800K ring back.

In court documents filed in Houston, TX, Mario Williams is now adamant about the return of the ring. The lawsuit alleges that Marzouki never actually intended to marry Williams, and simply used him for his fame. The charges further allege that Marzouki rang up more than $100K on an American Express credit card Williams took out in her name, as well as more than $230K in other gifts he provided her in the eleven months since their engagement.

While some may claim pettiness, others may look at the more than $1M Williams paid out to a woman he now feels never wanted to marry him, and he at the very least wants to recoup some of that money. We'll keep an eye on this one to see if Mario ever gets the ring back.

Mario William's fiance Erin Marzouki really moved the needle recently. It's amazing what comes onto the radar sometimes.

Mario Williams is clearly the biggest free agent in the 2012 class (yeah, that's right, better than Peyton), and has spent days and weeks being linked to the Buffalo Bills. After arriving in Buffalo on day one of free agency, Williams stayed overnight in the area leading to further speculation that a contract deal was imminent. On Wednesday morning, with the Buffalo area buzzing over the possibility of Williams joining their beloved Bills, one local reporter happened to bump into Super Mario at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
Paul Peck of WIVB-TV ran into Williams and learned he was at the airport to pick up his then unnamed fiancee. The internet exploded with theories that Mario Williams brought his future wife to the Buffalo area to get her sign off before signing a contract that would put them in upstate New York for at least 6 months a year for the next 7 or more years.
When Peck pressed Williams as to whether this was a good sign for the Bills chances, Mario responded only "We'll see."

Unfortunately at time of publishing rumors are now churning (according to one of the best football blogs out there, ProFootballTalk.com) that Mario Williams and his fiancee Erin Marzouki are now leaving Buffalo tonight. There are no whispers of a contract being done, so maybe Mrs. Williams to be took a day in Buffalo and decided it wouldn't be for them. It will be interesting to see how many more times we see Mario and Erin at the airports, and when we do,... you'll hear about it here.

Look at the big man gettin' it done.

At the 2013 NFL Draft, the world was introduced to Lane Johnson's wife Chelsea Johnson who has a crack at being the 2013 Lauren Tannehill. The couple was married on January 6, 2013 at the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club in front of family and friends. Philadelphia will probably serve as a bit of a culture shock for the newlyweds traveling from Oklahoma to a city getting impatient with a bit of a losing streak. Chelsea is only a Junior at OU, so it remains to be seen where she will be in the fall.

Chelsea Johnson is an athlete in her own right, as a high jumper and hurdler on the Sooner's Track & Field team. Her father, John Goodman, also played football at Oklahoma before playing five years in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After a 50+ yard touchdown and a 109 yard Super Bowl record kickoff return touchdown, Jacoby Jones has become a household name in a matter of hours tonight. Before tonight, the 6 year pro spent time with the Houston Texans before coming to the Baltimore Ravens. And until destroying NFL playoff records, he was essentially known in those two cities, and extremely deep fantasy leagues across the county.

However, after his instant success, people have to be wondering, who is Jacoby Jones' girlfriend? After a little sleuthing,... we're still not sure [UPDATE 02/18/2013 - We have now verified that Jacoby Jones girlfriend is Kimberly Harris, and has been with him for at least a couple years.]. We do know that Jacoby Jones has a son born in late summer, 2012, who he talks with via FaceTime or Skype on a nightly basis. After an interview with the New Orleans Times Picayune, we know that the couple has been together for a long time, and is committed to making the relationship work with their son. Jacoby Jones mother, Emily Jones, told the Times Picayune that she had the headphones ready for the infant to wear at the Super Bowl as Jacoby Jones mother, girlfriend, and son will be in attendance.

After his performance tonight, Jacoby has a real shot at standing on the podium holding up MVP hardware. We'll see if Jacoby Jones girlfriend is on stage with him celebrating. Stay tuned.
