Question is ...

TMZ spoke with Tawanna Iverson ... who tells us despite widespread rumors, "Cheating in the marriage has never been an issue. My decision to divorce has nothing to do with another woman."

Tawanna -- who described her 10-year marriage in divorce papers as "irretreivably broken" -- explains, "Sometimes people just grow apart and it's just that simple."

Here are the contenders:

Troy Polamalu -- one of the greatest defensive players in the NFL, made $6.1 mil last season PLUS he's got deals with Head & Shoulders, Coke Zero and Madden.

Hines Ward -- Super Bowl XL MVP, raked in $5.5 mil last season AND took home a hefty payday for "Dancing with the Stars."

Brett Keisel -- Dominating defensive end ... ferocious beard.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... Raheem Brock -- the starting defensive end for Seattle -- was arrested in Philadelphia when someone inside the Copacabana called 911 complaining the 6'4", 275-pounder left the establishment without paying his bill.

Cops responded to the scene, located Brock, and arrested him on suspicion of theft of services and resisting arrest -- both misdemeanors. We're told Brock did not get physical with the cops, but was "non-compliant" with the arresting officers.

Raheem -- who recently signed a 5-year, $23.6 MILLION contract -- was taken to a nearby jail where he was booked.

Lawyers for Jamie and Frank said ... if Judge Scott Gordon rules on August 4 that the Dodgers are community property -- giving Jamie a 50% interest -- the team will be put up for sale.

Once sold, each will get 50% of the net proceeds.

If Judge Gordon rules the team is Frank's separate property, he keeps the team but he has to pay Jamie $100 million.

And, if Frank keeps the team, Jamie gets all the mansions except one -- Frank gets to keep the Montana Yellowstone property.

Hayden and her 5'11, 23-year-old baller were spotted at Mel's Diner in West Hollywood on Thursday.

The show is called "Shawn Michaels' MacMillan River Adventures" -- premiering next month on the Outdoor Channel -- but according to the show's rep, Shawn ain't just hunting for sport ... the guy actually EATS everything he kills.

We also spoke to Michaels himself, who tells us, "I am a Christian, I am an American, I am a family man, and I am a predator, and MacMillan River Adventures will allow my long-time fans and newfound friends to see what really makes Shawn Michaels the man that he is today.”

Dykstra is currently behind bars in L.A. after he was charged with 23 felonies earlier this month -- including possession of cocaine and ecstasy.

Bosh's ex -- Allison Mathis -- filed the lawsuit in Orlando, FL earlier this week ... in which she claims she signed a deal with show producers which could have scored her more than $250,000 for at least 4 seasons ... but Chris screwed it up.

According to the docs, Bosh lied to producers -- and told them Allison had several court-orders in effect which prohibit her from appearing on camera. Bosh also allegedly threatened to sue producers if they put her on the show.

Mathis claims the producers folded like a cheap suit -- and axed her from the show ... after she had already taped two episodes.

When Dykstra was arraigned this morning in L.A. County Superior Court -- producer Jonathan Heap, who's promised to put up Dykstra's bail was there ... just in case the judge allowed him to bail out.

The caller tells the 911 operator, Stevenson was "extremely loud and mumbling" as he and another man banged on doors at an apartment complex, even though they didn't live there.

As we previously reported, Stevenson was arrested for public intoxication in Irving, Texas Tuesday night after officers felt he was a "danger to himself and others. "

A rep for the Human Rights Campaign tells TMZ ... "Anarchy? Hardly. Committed gay and lesbian couples have been able to legally marry in five states and the District of Columbia — not to mention a number of foreign countries — for years now and cows are still giving milk, little boys are still pulling little girls’ pig tails, and we still drive on the right side of the street."

The rep adds, "New York’s passage of this law will result in nothing more than a more just and equitable society."

Jarret Barrios -- President of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation -- ain't holding back either, telling us, "Tyree’s statements are as misleading as they are ridiculous, and do not accurately reflect the growing acceptance that we're seeing from sports stars like Charles Barkley, Steve Nash, Sean Avery, Brendon Ayanbadejo, Scott Fujita and fellow former Giant Michael Strahan."

Tyree made the statements during an interview earlier today with the National Organization for Marriage -- a faith-based anti-gay marriage group.

During the interview, Tyree is asked about the push to legalize gay marriage in the United States -- and says if it happens, "This will be the beginning of our country sliding toward ... it's a strong word, but anarchy."

To reinforce his point, Tyree says, "You can't teach something that you don't have ... so two men will never be able to show a woman how to be a woman."

And the kicker, Tyree -- who's black -- says, "How can marriage be marriage for thousands of years and now all the sudden because a minority, an influential minority, has a push or agenda ... and totally reshapes something that was not founded in our country."

Tawanna Iverson filed legal docs in Fulton County on Monday -- saying her 10-year marriage is "irretrievably broken."

According to the docs, the two have 5 minor children together ... and Tawanna wants sole legal and physical custody.

Tawanna is demanding child support and alimony payments -- she's also gunning for her fair share of the property and money accumulated during the marriage.

Just last year, Tawanna filed for divorce from Allen -- but dropped it.
