Co-Weasels of the Week: Francisco Rodriguez & Taryn Terrell-Galloway

The common link betwen this week's weasels is domestic violence, which got both of them in trouble with their respective employers.

Taryn Terrell-Galloway is known to WWE fans as "Tiffany", who has transitioned from being a figurehead executive to a "Diva" (female wrestler in WWE parlance). Taryn was arrested on Sunday after a heated dispute with wrestler-husband Drew Galloway (ring name: Drew McIntyre). WWE suspended Taryn indefinitely, and her absence from Tuesday's taping of Friday Night Smackdown fueled speculation that her contract may be terminated, leaving Drew to be the family breadwinner all by himself. It's just too bad for "Tiffany" that the aggression she allegedly used on Drew wasn't used often enough in the ring when she needed it the most.

Meanwhile, Francisco Rodriguez, aka "K-Rod", found himself in handcuffs on Wednesday after the Mets' 6-2 loss to Colorado. Rodriguez went after his prospective father-in-law. Police sources claim that the father-in-law chastised K-Rod, telling him to "stop acting like a baby", which set off the mercurial closer, who has had 3 other incidents since joining the Mets last year. It has also been reported that K-Rod also had similar issues while with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, with whom he won a World Series title in 2002 as a rookie. The Mets reportedly plan to enroll Rodriguez in an anger management course, after having suspended him for Thursday & Friday's games. Oh, by the way, the Mets won both of those games, giving the overworked bullpen a mini-vacation.

Anger management might be needed for the Galloways, too, either on the advice of a judge, a marriage counselor, or Vince McMahon, or all three. It may be the only thing that saves Tiffany's job.
