Football / Family

Still together

Former Dolphins linebacker Zach Thomas kept trying to set his sister Katina up with Jason Taylor and he eventually went out with her. They married in 2001 and are The. Most. Beautiful. Couple. Evar. They have had some tough times, she has filed twice for divorce and he almost quit football after the 2006 season to work it out.

Zach and Jason were teammates and best friends for a decade, Zach arriving in the 1996 draft and Jason in the 1997. Once in re: Zach's sister, a Miami sports writer writes that Zach told him

"I want [Katina and Jason] to be together, I think it's great. The family loves Jason. But I told Jason if he was going to go there, make sure you don't hurt her. Don't mess with her mind, you know? If things don't work out, that happens. But if he does something to hurt her or mess her over, that I told him not to do."

Then Thomas paused and put it all in perspective:

"Because blood is thicker than water, you know?"

Zach left the Dolphins this offseason to join the Dallas Cowboys. Now Jason and Zach will still see each other at work, just not every day. I'll bet that's a complicated relationship.
