Bibs and Burps = Babies

Cowboys kicker David Buehler and his girlfriend Brittany Pigrenet are expecting their first baby!  Little Bryson is due very soon and will hopefully follow in his dad's footsteps.  The couple has been together for two years and was featured on last year's (one and only) season of "Football Wives" on VH1.  

Washington Redskins defensive end Stephen Bowen is expecting his son Stephen III to go home from the hospital this week.  Stephen III was born premature on June 28 and has been in the hospital ever since.  Dad didn't see to see his new son very much because he was traded to Washington and had to leave mom and baby in Dallas until little Stephen was well enough to move.  Bowen is going to play his old team in Dallas this week and hopefully mom, son, and older daughter will be together watching from home!

Wedding Bells

Ben Roethlisberger is another star QB who was married this summer.  In July, he tied the knot with Ashley Harlan in a private ceremony at Christ Church at Grove Farm in Sewickley, Pa.  Security was tight and windows deeply tinted so onlookers with cameras couldn't see any VIP guests.  Even the reception site at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh was booked as a movie production to prevent any groupies from interfering with their big day.  After the wedding, the Pittsburgh Tribune got the scoop and you can read it here. 

Chirp chirp! News from Twitter

Social media enthusiasts across the web were surprised to see this post from Jay Cutler last Monday evening: 'Good luck babe “@KristinCav: Don't forget to vote tonight!!"'  Of course, this was in reference to her debut on DWTS.  Was this just a supportive gesture from a friend or are there still lingering feelings that could be re-ignited?  Personally, I say let her go back to dating surfer dudes in California and Jay should find someone better than a reality star who is struggling for another 15 minutes of fame.    

Mug shot of the week

Poor Cincinnati fans.  Their players are making headlines, but it's not because of touchdowns or charity work.  Wide receiver Jerome Simpson is a little bit of trouble and might not be playing today.  It seems as though he ordered 2.5 lbs. of marijuana from California and when the police followed the trail to his home in Kentucky, there was evidence of a "budding" business.  One of his teammates, Anthony Collins, was there when the police arrived but he is not considered a participant in any way.

I just can't have a week without including the escapades of Senor Ochocinco.  He had quite a summer riding bulls and driving race cars, and now this week he was on a non-reality, not created-and-named-after-himself television show.  Ochocinco had a guest starring role in Spike TV's "Blue Mountain State," a comedy about a fictional college football team.  I was busy watching CSI last Wednesday, but apparently his acting skills are not that bad.  Maybe that will be the next career move when his football playing days are over.
