Drake Joins Kanye In 'Anchorman 2'
Kanye's Going With 'Yeezus'
Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams filed a law suit against his ex-girlfriend former 2009 Miss Texas USA Brooke Daniels for keeping a $76,000 engagement ring after she declined his proposal... his mailed proposal.
Williams mailed Daniel's ring in a sort of care package complete with $5,000 for school and dental bills, a baseball for Daniels' brother and a surprise recorded marriage proposal with the ring, according to his affidavit. But she declined and her father has held on to the ring.
William's mailed proposal is bad enough but the fact that she passed the ring to her father shows these two are peas in a pod. Her father Michael Daniels claims Williams "said (to Brooke Daniels), 'I'm not like a lot of people, I don't want the ring back. You'll eventually come back to me." But she didn't.
The two lived together for about a year and in that year they were said to argue a lot, reports the Odessa American. So maybe the beauty queen had valid reasons for declining his offer. Still, give the ring back.
An injunction for this case was scheduled for Friday and engagement rings fall under the conditional gift rule. In Texas courts the conditional-gift rule requires that the engagement ring be returned to the donor upon termination of the engagement, if the donee is at fault in terminating the engagement. But if the donor is at fault, the ring doesn't have to be returned.
Brooke Daniel's mom said the ring was returned to William's attorney yesterday, according to TMZ. Guilt or legal action might have pushed the ex in the right direction but either way Williams is $76,000 richer again.

I agree. I have NO sympathy for this brother. I don't think he would have done anything near that for a black woman. Some of these wealthy black athletes swear black women are gold diggers, but Miss Bubble-Gum Toes? They somehow deserve a man with money. He is 2nd on my list of dumbass black men chasing the becky's.

I totally agree another Uncle Tom brotha falling over a white woman. I hope he loses big time in court. She probably had no intentions of marrying his black a/ss !

Hey Oprah instead of OJ on your wish list PULEEZE interview the wife of the former Ravens QB who was killed by his young lover (she killed herself as well). I admire the fact his wife refused to exploit her story and has remained in seclusion for her boys but I would like to hear how she's doing one day.
Any idiot who mails an engagement ring deserves whatever he gets!!!

Miss A, you are bad!! But very funny, as well.
Sadly, many black pro athletes see women of color as beneath the worthiness of their financial status. I probably don't feel the sympathy for him that I should either but, maybe a huge loss like this will teach him a few things that will help him better understand and appreciate what a REAL woman has to offer somewhere down the road.
WARNING: Most snow bunnies have a naturally built-in false sense of entitlement, whether they're privileged to have been born with a silver spoon in their mouths or just left the trailer park for the monster truck pull. So, keep that in mind the next time you're thinking of offering a colossal item with no insurance of return.

She'll get that money and more back after she tell the ins and outs of their time together. Also, now she's back on the map. Regardles of the fact that she was a former miss texas how many people knew who she was before this story? She was no more then a former beautyqueen who didn't get to be Miss America.
