Great story, cool as hell to read. :cool:

"The rookie took to a knee on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium after his team's victory in Super Bowl XLVI and proposed to his college sweetheart, Amanda. Confetti was still falling from the rafters when Jones' girlfriend accepted.

"She was bawling," Jones told NJ.com on Monday morning. "I was like, 'I don't know how long she's going to keep crying.'"

Practice squad tight end Christian Hopkins held the ring during the game, then gave it to Jones after Tom Brady's Hail Mary fell incomplete. Had Rob Gronkowski caught that ball, Jones said he would have waited until another time to propose."

Mom is mean mugging off to the side, damn. :)

Look out world, we might have a future Blake Griffin on our hands, between their two athletic genes. :D

Good job finding it! You found it before I did.

On Sunday night, while his New York Giants teammates were celebrating winning a ring, linebacker Greg Jones was giving one away. The rookie took to a knee on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium after his team’s victory in Super Bowl XLVI and proposed to his college sweetheart, Amanda. Confetti was still falling from the rafters when Jones’ girlfriend accepted.”She was bawling,” Jones told NJ.com on Monday morning. “I was like, ‘I don’t know how long she’s going to keep crying.’”Practice squad tight end Christian Hopkins held the ring during the game, then gave it to Jones after Tom Brady’s Hail Mary fell incomplete. Had Rob Gronkowski caught that ball, Jones said he would have waited until another time to propose. The couple met each other at Michigan State. Jones starred on the football team, while his future bride played basketball.

Cool story. I hate to find something negative but, I wonder who the lady is with the sunglasses and Giants jersey (his mother?) she doesn't look very happy.

I noticed. Honestly, the resentment is inherent. It will "stick" with us and it's just like paying taxes or doing chores. No matter what, it's just something that everyone who engages in this kind of relationship will have to deal with. We could fast forward 20 years and the same thing still might be around.

:smt042 That would have been bad. One of the articles had mentioned that she said they had talked about wanting to get married. So I guess he felt confident.


Here's a better pic of her in case someone dares to come in and say she isn't pretty enough.

Yes, she is pretty. Just as pretty as you are. :p

I hope its just her being protective of her son and nothing more.

They have been together since college so I would imagine she knew he was down with the swirl.

I kind of get the feeling she may not have known herself about the proposal beforehand.

That photo looks awfully retouched. The two pictures of her on the field and in uniform show that she is not a bad looking woman.

Please don't start bracing yourself for the silly "relative worth/value convos"...

I don't see what she has to be upset about. Her son is apart of a team that won the Superbowl and odds are he's going to break her off a little something something if he hasn't already as most athletes do with those in their lifeboat. Maybe the hotdogs she had at half-time weren't sitting well with her at this point...:rolleyes:
