Seven years ago, I went from being America's Golden Son to That Idiot, faster than you can say, "Foul ball".

At the time, I thought I was making the right decision and today, I know I did. But I'll admit, being the punch line of every late night comic changed me. The paparazzi no longer follow me and the media's forgotten my name, but I still live my life around rules I put in place to ensure I never found myself in that place again.

The rules are restrictive and controlling. They dictate what I do and who I do it with.

They do not allow for a free spirit bound and determined to make it in Nashville. A woman actively chasing a life I turned my back on. And they certainly will not accept that woman to be the little sister of the man who just married my ex.

Unfortunately, that's the only woman I want.

So I made a deal...

THE DATE DEAL

Tate "Tommy" Maddox and Carsen Taber will put 'Love Conquers All,' to the ultimate test.
