The Ladies Love Them Some Cade McNown

By , Nyjer Please

I made a post about this over at Nyjer (for you bloggers out there, its Nyjer, not NYJER), but I thought that this story was too good to be true, so I'm posting it here. Its not very often you run across a story that includes Tim Couch, Cade McNown, two Playmates of the Year, Hef and someone getting banned from the Playboy Mansion.

A Los Angeles Times report says Cade was a frequent visitor to the Playboy Mansion, where he managed to do the ultimate by stealing Hugh Hefner's girlfriend, Brande Roderick, who was 1999's Miss April. Hef was so angry that he permanently banned McNown from the Mansion. That relationship didn't last long. Brande vacationed with McNown in Mexico, and now she's now doing "Baywatch" in Hawaii.

Being banned from the Mansion wasn't enough to stop our celibate stud. Cleveland QB Tim Couch was dating Playmate of the Year Heather Kozar when he made a big mistake by introducing her to McNown. According to Sports Illustrated, McNown began the kind of all-out blitz he can't handle as a QB -- phoning constantly, sending lots of flowers, even sending his Porsche to her. It worked, as Kozar dumped Couch and moved to Chicago to live with McNown. Cade still claims to be a devout Christian who doesn't even read Playboy magazine. "I've never even seen her layout," he says.

The real kicker is that a few years later, Kozar got back with Couch. The two are now married, as you can tell in the picture and have one child.

Somewhere in the world, Cade McNown is crying himself to sleep tonight thinking about what could have been.
