Roy Williams wants to get back the ring he mailed to girlfriend

Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams is going to court to get back the $76,000 engagement ring he gave to a former beauty pageant winner.

In February, Williams proposed to his girlfriend, Brooke Daniels. When she turned him down, Daniels didn't return the ring. According to Williams' affidavit that was filed in a Texas court last week, he asked for the ring back but was told by Daniels that she had lost it. An insurance investigation later revealed that Daniels' father was in possession of the ring.

Michael Daniels told the Odessa American that his daughter will return the ring to avoid the lawsuit even though he says he has documentation saying Williams told her to keep it.

Pretty standard stuff, right? Minus the price tag, this is a dispute that probably happens every day in the United States. Except it's not because most people don't propose the way Roy Williams did.

From the Odessa American:

Williams has declined to comment for the story, but in an affidavit signed by Williams, he claims he sent $5,000 for school and dental bills, a baseball for Daniels' brother and — as a surprise — a recorded marriage proposal with the ring through the mail just before Valentine's Day to Daniels. However, when Daniels declined the proposal, she did not return the ring.

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? I'd consider eating the $76,000 just so I didn't have to tell anyone.

It's a shame Daniels is giving the ring back and avoiding trial because we may have learned the specifics of how Williams went about this process. Was it a video proposal? Did he record it in song form? And how did she reject him, with a return receipt?

He is not cute and she look like a skr8 up ho!

Like I said in the other thread. You give me a $76,000 ring that ring stay got!

Who in the hayl proposes by mail???!!! That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, if you're not stationed somewhere because of the military!! I mean really, how impersonal can you get?

He almost deserves to lose the ring. And isn't it funny that she said the ring was "lost" and now because the insurance company investigated, it's "magically" found...on daddy's fingers. Lol! Sigh, you just gotta love the stupidity of some people. You really do.

My guess is her father had the ring so she could not be forced to turn it over, as it was not in her custody or possession.

She should give it back.

That's what I'm saying, this is the craziest shit ever. Is this really for real? But seriously, it must be some kind of contagious disease because most men these days are really impersonal, especially in this age of advancing technology. And it ain't cute....neither is he.

Here's what dear old dad has to say:

Michael Daniels said in a phone interview Tuesday that although he has documentation that Williams initially told his daughter to keep the ring, he will return it to avoid a lawsuit. Daniels didn’t specify when or how the ring would be returned.

“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,” Michael Daniels claimed.

Brooke Daniels could not be located for comment Tuesday, and her father declined to provide her contact information.

Michael Daniels said that when Williams realized Brooke Daniels was not going to accept his marriage proposal, that was when Williams began to ask for the ring back.

The two lived together for about a year, Michael Daniels said, while also claiming that Williams and his daughter often argued.

“I want to wash my hands of it,” Michael Daniels said. “It’s just a hassle. I’ll take care of my daughter. I don’t need him.”

He also said the two never told Williams the ring was lost and that he had it all along. The State Farm response to his claim stated that the theft or disappearance of the ring did not occur, and instead the question was about whether the ring was a gift or should be returned. According to the response, the matter is not covered under Williams’ policy.

Williams lawyer Craig C. Grant deferred comment to Williams.

Engagement rings fall under the conditional-gift rule. As applied by Texas courts, the conditional-gift rule contains an element of fault. Texas courts have held that the conditional-gift rule operates to require that the engagement ring be returned to the donor upon termination of the engagement, if the donee is at fault in terminating the engagement. If the donor is at fault, the ring doesn’t have to be returned.

A temporary injunction hearing is set for 1:30 p.m. Friday in Judge Denn Whalen’s 70th District Court.

So not only is he suing, this dumb ass tried to file a claim on his insurance for the ring???

She should keep the ring on GP and show his ass what the Cowboys feel like after paying his ass millions and not getting shit in return.

Ho up

Cowboy down

I think she is classy. She could have accepted his proposal, just because he is rich. However, she felt she wanted a man that actually loves her and isn't all about flashing his dough around as if that is the same as love.

She never claimed she had the ring and will return it to him. He just couldn't stand the fact that she did not want to marry a guy who proposes by mail.

I dig her. And she is a pretty girl. I wouldn't name her a ho. She doesn't seem to be giving anything of herself just for money......

Honey, I'm just rambling. Prince is in town and I didn't organise myself at all for coming weekend. I'm just scribbling here, I have no idea who these two people are. And I actually don't really care. I just felt bad for her being called a ho.

Between her lack of lips and constricted nose she must need SCUBA gear to give him head.
