			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">In one of my better moments I was watching Kurt Warner highlights thinking about how he met his wife while he was bagging groceries and decided to take in the divorcee and her two children. It&#8217;s is probably the most solid move I have ever heard, while simultaneously being the dumbest decision of all time. After pondering this great story, I then moved my thought process to &#8211; How can I make fun of Kurt Warner&#8217;s wife, Brenda. Other than her having a trailer park/pregnant high schooler first name, you can&#8217;t look past her haircut. So after noticing her resemblance to lesbian I developed this question. If eharmony were to match up famous lesbians and athletes, who would wind up with who?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-728 alignnone" style="margin: 5px;" title="kurt-warner" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kurt-warner.jpg" alt="kurt-warner" width="420" height="420" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Darlene from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094540/">Roseanne</a> (Sara Gilbert) / Kyle Orton</em></strong></span> &#8211; They can call them &#8220;the Muff and the Scruff.&#8221; They were made for each other as she grew up in the fictional Lanford, Illinois and you cannot forget old <a href="http://image-1-stage-my.cmt.ca/Assets/CMS/ManagedAssets/7ef17873f0d7403382c37cee7fccc8c2.jpg" class="lightview" rel="gallery[727]">Dan Connor constantly wearing those Bears sweatshirts</a>. Darlene was always into that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0301959/">short little guy who&#8217;s on Big Bang Theory</a> now, so it is definitely time for her to meet a real man, especially an <a href="http://thebestsportsblog.com/images/2007/02/orton.jpg" class="lightview" rel="gallery[727]">alpha male such as Kyle Orton</a> and his neckbeard.Â  Orton would definitely be into the white trash type as he has previously shown with his <a href="http://talkingheadtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/kyle-orton-drinking-deadspin-com.bmp" class="lightview" rel="gallery[727]">alcoholic beverage choices</a>. Anyway, these two would obviously be in the running to be featured on the next season of <a href="http://www.cmt.com/shows/dyn/my-big-redneck-wedding/series.jhtml">My Big Red Neck Wedding</a>.<img class="size-full wp-image-744 aligncenter" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="ortongilbert" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ortongilbert.jpg" alt="ortongilbert" width="513" height="360" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Ellen Degeneres / Steve Nash</em></strong></span> &#8211; Being probably the most lesbian out of this entire group, I would imagine Ellen to be matched up with one of the most feminine looking athletes on the face of the Earth. She would definitely go for the &#8220;euro&#8221; haircuts and might even be able to give him a few pointers on his <a href="http://thisisgodgiven.com/2008/11/17/steve-nash-is-faster-than-sharks/">Vitamin Water ads</a>. They both also seem to be at the top of their respective games and would obviously become a pop culture power couple for the ages. I&#8217;m thinking this would be the perfect combo for a Will and Grace -esque sitcom.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-745 alignnone" style="margin: 5px;" title="ellennash" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ellennash.jpg" alt="ellennash" width="520" height="360" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>Melissa Etheridge / Barry Zito</em></strong></span> &#8211; This seems to be a match made in heaven when it comes to the shared love of guitars. Also, It is very easy to see Zito hitting rock bottom after the past few miserable seasons. I imagine him becoming a modern day <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Crosby">David Crosby</a>, mustache and all. Crosby also just so happens to be the creator of the sperm that artificially inseminated <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Etheridge#Personal_life">Etheridge&#8217;s girlfriend on a number of occasions</a>. Let me set the scene for you, Zito staying in San Fran, refusing to sign with another team so that he can play his guitar in coffee shops across the city. Zito&#8217;s featured song, a cover of <a href="http://www.clevver.com/music/video/14862/melissa-etheridge-come-to-my-window.html">Etheridge&#8217;s biggest hit</a>, which he cleverly titles &#8220;I Cum In Her Window.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-746 alignnone" style="margin: 5px;" title="etheridgezito" src="http://thisisgodgiven.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/etheridgezito.jpg" alt="etheridgezito" width="520" height="360" /></p>

It seems as though he is going in reverse order of his repeated DUI counterparts, <a href="http://www.everybodysucksbutus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/lindsay-lohan-marilyn-monroe-02.jpg" class="lightview" rel="gallery[181]">Lohan</a> and <a href="http://thewrongadvices.com/info-extras/Paris-Hilton.jpg" class="lightview" rel="gallery[181]">Hilton</a>, look for vagina shots and sex tapes to be leaked very soon. Also, he looks pretty sloshed in his mug shot.</p>

Here are some of the quotes from <a href="http://brettandshannon.com/brett/uploaded_images/Ricky-782082-728418.jpg" class="lightview" rel="gallery[169]">Ricky</a> when asked how things would have been different if he were aboard.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think if I had come down, things might have worked out a little bit differently.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I find I have a calming influence on people I&#8217;m around.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a high-level athlete, it&#8217;s just something that&#8217;s ingrained in me. I always think that if I&#8217;m there, things would be different. I can&#8217;t say how.&#8221;</p>
<p>I think I know how Ricky would have calmed the situation down. He would have been like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWXoRnXp0XM">Sir Smoka Lot</a> in a scene from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120693/">Half Baked</a>. Also, does Canadian football make him a high level athlete? I would say, I don&#8217;t think so, in Canadian.</p>
