In news that may interest you, Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker is engaged to former Miss Hooters International, Anna Burns. By all accounts a lovely woman whose talents go far beyond pageants and serving up greasy platters of wings.

Anna, a former Miss Hooters International 2005, had asked for a Cartier love bracelet for Christmas. Apparently Tom Brady [stats]’s go-to guy came up with an even better play, ponying up a big fat diamond. Details are sketchy, but we can tell you the couple has recently moved from Boston down to the burbs by Foxboro, where they will settle down.

The speedy receiver and the gorgeous brunette have been together for more than two years. Their first public outing was at the Patriots’ loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the 2010 playoffs

Ah, what a cute couple. And the fact they were able to keep the engagement quiet despite Welker’s incessant Tweeting is quite admirable.

The lead-up for the Patriots-Jets playoff game this weekend has been nothing short of spectacular if you’re in the media. There hasn’t been a day that’s gone by where a player or a coach isn’t trading barbs and/or calling their opponents ass**** as was the case with Antonio ]]>

The lead-up for the Patriots-Jets playoff game this weekend has been nothing short of spectacular if you’re in the media. There hasn’t been a day that’s gone by where a player or a coach isn’t trading barbs and/or calling their opponents ass**** as was the case with Antonio Cromartie and Tom Brady earlier this week.

But truly, the shot across the bow that has scored the most points came from soft-spoken Wes Welker yesterday in a press conference. It was subtle, and yet at the same time, so over-the-top hilarious that it’s honestly worthy of an Oscar nomination.

Just watch how many times the word foot is mentioned in this clip.

Well played Wes, well played sir. It appears the Rex Ryan “foot” fetish thing is still fresh on the minds of many in the NFL.
