Also, she "would like you to know that she did not stab her husband." Duly noted. [Commercial Appeal]

<![CDATA[Without This Woman's Help, Vince Wilfork Probably Wouldn't Be Playing Tonight]]>

Bianca Wilfork isn't your typical NFL wife. She's more of a business manager for Vince Wilfork, handling virtually everything outside of football for Vince. And above all else, she watches his games closely. Very closely.

Bianca put her DVR skills to good use this week, and probably saved her hubby from a suspension by the NFL (though, his wallet did take a $35K hit). Chris Mortensen has the details (take that, Glazer!).

Wilfork's wife Bianca, who joined Wilfork for the meeting, handed Goodell the DVD with a different camera angle that showed Wilfork may not have hit Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler in the head on a play in the Oct. 20 meeting between the Broncos and Patriots.

On the alternate DVD, Cutler could be seen picking himself up and patting Wilfork on the helmet after the play.

Now, that's what you call a supportive wife.

Anyway, Wilfork will join his Patriots teammates on the field shortly, as they battle the Indy Colts. Do feel free to use this story as an excuse to watch the game with your significant other; just don't make the mistake of hinting that she could learn from it and improve.

<![CDATA[Calling Mom For Domestic Backup]]> miltonbradleynationaltreasu.jpgSome more updates on the domestic abuse allegations against notoriously angry Dodgers outfielder Milton Bradley. The Daily Breeze reviewed the 911 calls that started the whole allegations, and apparently, it was in fact Bradley who made the calls in order to calm down his "crazy" wife.

Bradley said his wife somehow knew — possibly through a friend working at a wireless phone company —that he had called a friend in Moreno Valley.

"She is complaining I'm talking to some people and that I'm cheating or something, and making no sense whatsoever," Bradley said.

His wife can be heard in the background shouting at him, including the statement, "I want to go home." Pots and pans or dishes clang as if something was thrown.

"Get away from me!" Bradley yelled at her. "She's in the room right now. You better get over here!"

In one instance, Bradley's 70-year-old mother was beckoned to help settle the repeated arguments, which is the type of backup you don't call for when you're punching someone. We're wondering if his wife, to counter, called for Jeff Kent.

<![CDATA[McMichael's Wife Dropped From Fantasy Rosters]]> Just about two months after being arrested for throwing his wife from their car — it was his second arrest for spousal abuse within a year — Dolphins tight end Randy McMichael has pleaded out, accepting a misdemeanor of "trespassing," on his wife, in a similar way that Jason Christensen "trespassed" on Barry Bonds. Amusingly enough, the trespassing charge was not actually for the dragging of his recently pregnant wife, but in fact for scratching up a car in the Waffle House parking lot.

All right. We know what you really want to know. Fine: The NFL hasn't decided yet on a potential suspension for McMichael, so, sigh, he should be fine for your Week 1 fantasy roster. Go ahead.

<![CDATA[Derek Lowe Now Banging The Media]]>
In answer to our question from last week about which baseball player was having an affair with which reporter covering his team, it appears we have our answer.

According to LA media analyst Ron Fineman, it's Dodgers pitcher Derek Lowe bumping uglies with Fox sports anchor Carolyn Hughes. The network has taken Hughes off the broadcasts, though everyone's denying the report. That's another great reason for Lowe to have left Boston, though: Chicks are hotter in L.A.

<![CDATA[Rony Seikaly Partying Too Much For Hot Wife]]>
See that woman right there? Her name is Elsa Benitez, and she's a supermodel. She is also married to former NBA oaf Rony Seikaly. Pretty good, right? Way to go, Rony, yeah?

Not quite. According to Page Six — which is never, ever wrong about sports personalities — Benitez is moving out of their mansion because Seikaly is "partying too hard." We can just assume, for the sake of our fantasies, that this is a ruse, and Benitez is just frightened of pounds of chest hair.

<![CDATA[McMichael Gets Early Jump On Training Camp With Wife]]>
Miami Dolphins tight end Randy McMichael was arrested last week for spousal abuse, his second arrest for that charge in the last 13 months. (The good news is that she wasn't pregnant this time.)

From the Miami Herald:

According to the report, four witnesses told police they saw McMichael, who is 6-3 and 245 pounds, throw his wife from the car. One witness said McMichael threw his wife away from the vehicle several times. Cawanna McMichael, 22, was found by police with drops of blood on her shirt and told police the contact with her husband was an accident from him throwing her belongings. She was treated at the scene of the alleged incident.

You know the charge is serious when McMichael's agent, the notorious Drew Rosenhaus, actually refuses to comment.

<![CDATA[Cuckolded Red Sox Scuffle]]> Controversy in Boston is nothing new, even when the Red Sox are coming off a World Series win. Outfielder Johnny Damon and soon-to-be-closer Curt Schilling have been having a minor scuffle, with Damon saying Schilling shouldn't be a closer and Schilling responding with, "Contrary to popular belief, I have done this before." But the source of the discord could be off the field, in the controversial field of scarves.

Apparently, last year, in the playoffs, Schilling's robo baseball wife Shonda made "rally scarves" for all the players' wives; responding in robo baseball wife kind, they all wore them. Except for Michelle Damon, who thought they were kind of lame, fancy that. That set off a chasm between the two women that apparently has yet to be bridges. Says a Red Sox robo baseball wife source: "Johnny's bad-mouthing is coming from Michelle's influence," said Someone Who Knows. "Curt doesn't really want to get involved but he's not faulting Shonda for feeling bad or being mad." We love the idea of players' wives fighting, though we always figured it would be less about scarves, more about which of their husbands' road mistresses were more attractive.

<![CDATA[Bobby Abreu's Otherworldly Restraint]]> All right, now, we pay pretty close attention to this sports business. (We do it for a living, after all.) But we'll fess up: We had heard nothing about this Bobby Abreu story from last month. Maybe it's because we don't watch Spanish language TV. But still.

Here's the details, if you're as in the dark as we were. The Phillies outfielder — enjoying the greatest season of his career, by the way; right around the time this story broke, he hit homers in six consecutive games — was engaged to former Miss Universe Alicia Machado. In May, she appeared on a Mexican reality television show called "La Granga (The Farm)" and, in a video you can find on Limewire, had sex with a fellow cast member on camera. Needless to say, Abreu was not a fan of this — as Jason Mulgrew points out, Latin men tend not to handle such matters well — called off the engagement and subsequently went on his homer barrage. We still think this might have been cooked up by Phillies general manager Ed Wade and manager Charlie Manuel, like in Fast Times at Ridgemont High,j when they smashed Louis' car right before the football game. But we still can't believe we hadn't heard about this, mostly.

<![CDATA[Boobs. Is There Anything Else Newsworthy?]]>
You didn't think we'd ignore this all day, did you? The New York Post features a sports column today from the only person who knows less about the NBA than Peter Vescey: Anna Benson! The wife of overpaid Mets righthander Kris Benson penned the first of what will hopefully be millions of NY Post diary columns this morning. We can't do this next in the line of blatant appeal for publicity using mammaries and a keyboard (first time that's ever happened, actually) justice with something as impotent as a quip, so we're gonna just quote the best stuff.

—The luxury box offers more privacy, which I need thanks to my foul mouth.
—I'll give him a massage, but there's no fooling around tonight, not before a game. That's been Kris' rule since college. But after the game, he's ready to go.
—They happened to lose Friday, but all I had to do is take my clothes off and Kris felt all better. After I put on my prettiest teddy, he's stopped crying about losing a game.

You realize that if Anna and Kris ever break up, she'll be with Dennis Rodman within a month, right?
