    Report on Philadelphia hottest sporting couple..
    Heather Mitts & A.J. Feeley

    • Philadelphia’s first sporting couple continue to do well, reports Heather Mitts, beau of ex-Duck A.J. Feeley.
    Mitts is the star defender for the WUSA Charge, Feeley the backup QB of the NFL Eagles. They met when their roommates began dating last September, “and A.J. happened to come over with his friend to our place one night,” Mitts tells the Tribune.
    What does Mitts like about her boyfriend from Ontario?
    “What don’t I like?” she asks. “I am still kind of like, ‘You are too good to be true.’ We are dating exclusively. No talk of wedding bells in the future, but everything is wonderful.”
    When the hot pair makes the social scene in Philly, “it is big news,” Mitts says. “We have been in the newspapers here a few times. It’s a little tough being in the public eye like that. You go out for drinks or dinner, and the eyes are always on you. We try to avoid that stuff, but you just have to live with it.”
    A fan set up Mitts’ Web site (www.heathermitts.com) two years ago, and she receives from 50 to 100 e-mails a week. She answers them all.
    “It is a little overwhelming,” Mitts says. “A.J. was making fun of me last night, saying, ‘Heather, why in the world are you answering all of these?’ But it is great to interact with the fans.”
    Are they mostly guys seeking a little action?
    “Some of them you laugh at and delete,” she says, “but most of them are genuine questions. You have little girls who say I am their idol, or fans who want to know about your career or the game. I feel it’s important to connect with them.”

    ***The report was written by Kerry Eggers the Portland Tribune Editor.
