The Marriage Ref

Howard and Christine have been married 13 years. Christine adores just about everything about her husband, with the exception of one hurtful habit. When Howard heads out with his friends to play some basketball, he leaves his wedding ring behind.

"I can't play ball with my ring on," he explains. "It messes up my shot." Christine suggests he take it off while he plays, but then put it back on before he heads out with his pals. "Every other married man goes out with his wedding ring," she points out to him.

Tom turns first to Eva Longoria Parker, wife of NBA All-Star Tony Parker. She's unequivocal: it's important to wear the ring. Jerry asks why. Tina tries to stay calm. "It's a signal, albeit a rather primitive one, to other women that this man is taken." Eva underscores Tina's point, showing off her ring and making a hissing sound. She explains that her husband in fact can't wear his ring while he plays, so she made him get a tattoo. Tina thinks that's a great idea "And," she says, "It might make him look a little bit cooler."

Jerry says he always wears his wedding ring, but thinks women shouldn't expect "that it's got some green Lantern Magic powers." Just The Facts' Natalie Morales underscores Jerry's point:

JUST THE FACTS:
Women are four times more likely to go after men who are attached.

Tom polls the panel. It's unanimous: all three think he should wear the ring. Tom agrees: Howard's argument was "a signature airball." Christine wins.
