Football Wives is a television pilot for U.S. television network ABC, which would have aired in the Fall 2007 season had it been picked up for a series order. The show is an American version of Footballers' Wives, and follows the dramatic private lives of the players from the fictional NFL team the Orlando Stingrays. It is widely believed that the networked passed on the pilot due to pressure from the NFL. (thetvdb.com)
