"Do people think that somewhere in my brain, I think Derek can save me from someone telling me my dog can't fly?" she asks in the February issue of GQ. "If that's the way I worked, he would have left me a long time ago."

And though the twosome are going strong after more than two years together, the former Friday Night Lights star stresses she and the athlete, 36, have no immediate plans to race down the aisle.

"I promise you," she tells the mag. "I'm not getting married next month."

She didn't "explain" anything at all about why she argued with a flight attendant in the first place. All these Hollywood people think the rules don't apply to them.

She's hot! I'm happy Derek finally found a classy girl and not some fame hungry bimbo like he used to date.

She seems very down to earth. I think that's why they've lasted so long.
