Date.com Poll: Single Females Would Tackle Tony Romo After Thanksgiving Dinner

    MIAMI BEACH, FL, November 24, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The time of year is upon us when many singles return home for the holidays, finally able to get even with their brothers, sisters, and other insensitive relatives who make them feel bad all year long about their single status. Using hard tackles and heavy sacks they release any pent up anger and frustration during the annual Thanksgiving family football game. This got us thinking about some of NFL's hottest Quarterbacks both on and off the playing field. During the month of October, leading online dating websites Date.com (http://www.date.com), Matchmaker.com (http://www.matchmaker.com), and Amor.com (http://www.amor.com), polled our male and female members to find out which NFL Quarterback they feared would make a play for their Thanksgiving date, and for the females, which one they'd like to make a play for after Thanksgiving dinner.

"With an undefeated season thus far under his belt, Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning was voted overwhelmingly by men, which was a surprise given Tom Brady's reputation amongst the ladies. Clearly this shows that men think talent, over looks, is what's attractive to most women," said Shira Zwebner, Relationship Advisor for Date.com, Matchmaker.com and Amor.com. "Tom Brady was also shut out by the women, with Jessica Simpson's ex Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Tony Romo claiming the top slot. Gisele Bundchen's husband was buried beneath a pile of sexy QB's including Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning, leading us to believe one of People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive has lost it both on and off the playing field."

In a new survey of thousands of male online daters nationwide, we asked: Thanksgiving has many great traditions, including the annual family football game. Which NFL Quarterback would you want to play on your team but wouldn't want near your girlfriend or Thanksgiving date?
