The Family Vote is In

Chicago (AP)--As excitement for the NFL DDC grows and grows, people have been eagerly anticipating how the families of the DDC members are handling the increased attention. All the spouses and significant others have pledged support for their men in the past but it seems that lately this support as eroded in the past few days, at least in the case of Matt Nolan and Michael Ostrander. Shannon Wade was recently spotted at a local Panera where witnesses overheard her telling an unknown companion, “I don’t give a rip if Butts wins the Birdie or not. I just want him to stop all this foolishness and focus on the wedding.” Shannon and Ostrander and scheduled to be married in June, one month after the DDC.

“If I am honest with myself, I really hope Roush and Stachowiak just wax the floor at the DDC so Butts and I will have something to talk about on our honeymoon besides the damn golf tournament.” Wade went on to say.

Nina Tito was at the Borders on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago waiting in line for Mike Roush’s autograph at a book signing he was doing for his latest release entitled Life in General: How to Live and Thrive the Roush Way. When approached by reporters Tito said “I have been a life long fan of Mike Roush and am so excited to finally meet him in person. Sure, I hang out with Nolan from time to time, but come DDC time, I will be wearing a Mike Roush jersey and a Jim Stachowiak bald cap.”

While there may be dissention in the ranks on Team Nolan/Ostrander, Roush and Stachowiak are fully supported by their wives. Both Mrs. Roush and Stachowiak were seen at various fundraising events across the Midwest raising money for their husband’s golfing endeavor.

“Colleen and I could not be more proud of our husbands.” Roush said. “They have been in lock step with every decision we have made so it is only fair that we fully support them in whatever they do.” Roush was later seen receiving a large duffel bag full of money. It is not known at this time if the money was for the trip to Ditka’s or as compensation for her comments.

“Jim has been the best husband I could ever ask for, so I am being the best wife he could ever ask for by not only putting up with this DDC business, but fully supporting him in it.” Stachowiak said.

With their wives and the significant others of the other DDC members on their side, Roush and Stachowiak picked up surprise endorsements from each and every family member of both Matt Nolan and Michael Ostrander. Michael Ostrander’s high school students also lined up behind Roush and Stachowiak, holding a pep rally in their honor after classes ended last Friday.

UPDATE: All of the votes from the families of Roush and Stachowiak are in, and they are 100% for team Roush/Stachowiak.

  1. Mr. Ostrander's class has not announced an endorsement, but rumor is that a pledge of support is forthcoming. No details on which team they will be supporting.

  2. Shouldn't it be "Mr. Butts?"
