Tia Mowry stars as Melanie Barnett, a Johns Hopkins med student who transferred to a smaller college in San Diego, California, the better to be near her football-player boyfriend, Derwin Davis (Pooch Hall), a member of the "San Diego Sabers." Though not technically a "football wife," Melanie soon became an honorary member of that hearty sorority, quickly learning the ins and outs of NFL protocol and intrigue. Refreshingly, she refused to be merely Derwin's "arm ornament," remaining her own person with her own ambitions and dealing with the other football players on her level rather than theirs. Melanie's best friend is Tasha Mack (Wendy Raquel Robinson), the single mother and self-appointed business manager of her irresponsible quarterback son, Malick Wright (Hosea Chanchez). Also on deck are interracial couple Kelly and Jason Pitts (Brittany Daniel, Coby Bell); as the white "trophy wife" of a black player, Kelly spent much of her time overcoming the prejudice of certain other Sabers and coping with her cheapskate (and possibly unfaithful) husband. This release features the dramedy's first season in its entirety. [More]

[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Being the wife or girlfriend of a pro-football player might sound like a glamorous and stress-free existence, but Melanie Barnett (Tia Mowry) is about to discover the truth. Melanie’s boyfriend, Derwin, is the new third-string wide receiver for the San Diego Sabers. While Derwin worries about the plays on the field, Melanie learns about the power plays that NFL wives use to get their men the best agents, managers, endorsements, merchandising deals and even the “in” charity. As she deals with egos, groupies and image consultants, Melanie is finding out how “the game” is played among the women behind the athletes.
