Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams, it is my belief, exists solely for entertainment purposes. Like, dude was put on this earth for just one reason: so humanity and all of football fandom would have something to point and laugh at. It starts with his short-sleeved mock turtlenecks and goes from there. He's like a cartoon character (if a cartoon character could also single-handedly bring down your fantasy football team). Williams doesn't seem like a bad guy, per se, he just seems like a joke.

This week, Williams was in the news again - providing just one more blot on a life stained with embarrassment.

According to reports by Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com - relying heavily on lawsuit papers obtained by Texas's Odessa American newspaper in late June - Williams is suing former girlfriend Brooke Daniels after his laughable mail-in marriage proposal went horrible awry. 

According to the ESPNDallas.com story, this spring Williams sent Daniels - the 2009 Miss Texas USA, who the wide receiver had dated for a little over a year - a taped marriage proposal, $5000 for school and dental bills, a baseball for her brother and an engagement ring worth $76,000.

He did this all via the good ol' fashion mail.

How romantic.

The problem: Apparently, Daniels wasn't interested. According to Williams's lawsuit against her, in addition to declining the ridiculously executed proposal, the wide receiver says she told him she'd lost the ring.

Williams's lawsuit seeks to regain possession of the expensive piece of jewelry. According to Watkins's ESPNDallas.com story, Daniels's father says the ring is not lost - they have it and they plan to return it to avoid further legal hassles from the spurned ex-boyfriend. He contends no one ever claimed the ring was lost.

No word on whether Williams's mock turtlenecks played a role in Daniels's decision not to marry him.
