Tony Romo, Stephen McGee and Martellus Bennet all have in one thing common besides playing for America’s team -- they got married this summer -- something teammate Roy Williams was unable to do.

Williams is suing his now ex- girlfriend and former Miss Texas, Brooke Daniels, for not returning an engagement ring. Reports say he recorded his proposal, then mailed Daniels a $76,000 ring, $5,000 for medical fees and school, and a baseball for her brother. But after his proposal was rejected - he wants the ring back.

So maybe mailing the ring isn’t standard for proposals -- but otherwise the story seems pretty straightforward. Guys proposes to Girl, Girl refuses and Guy wants his ring back. But Daniels’ father claims -- the football player initially told her to keep it. The Odessa American reports...

“He 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,’ and she didn’t.”

ESPN’s Mike and Mike reports - while Williams didn’t jump to a lawsuit right away, the situation has spiraled.

“She didn’t want to give the ring back, and then she said she lost it. So he filed with his insurance but then when they did the investigating it turns out her father had the ring and now he says I’m done with this whole mess and I am going to end up giving the ring back because its turned into a court battle.”

Since Williams will be getting the ring back after all, some can’t help but wonder how this would of played out in court. A writer for the National Football Post says,

“... engagement rings are considered under a conditional-gift rule in Texas. That means if they’re not accepted for marriage, they need to be returned.”

Other bloggers say -- serves him right. Here’s Chris Chase with Yahoo Sports...

“He recorded a marriage proposal and then sent the ring through the mail?  Unless you're a soldier stationed overseas, that's just about the lamest thing I've ever heard. If you proposed through the mail, wouldn't you not want other people to hear that?”

The Odessa American also reports -- a temporary injunction hearing on the matter is still scheduled for Friday.
