According to TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Steve Howey has been cast as a love interest for Jess in an upcoming episode of New Girl. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Howey's role:
Howey has been tapped to guest star as Jax McTavish, an intense (in every sense of the word) professional football player that Winston interviews.
The jock is later invited to Schmidt and Nick’s “Tinfinity” party — a.k.a. a bash celebrating their 10 years of living together — and it’s there that he crosses paths with (and catches the eye of) Jess.
The $1 million question: Is Jess’ current beau, Sam, also in attendance? And if not, where the hell is he?!

My thoughts: I have to say that I have extremely mixed feelings about this news. On the one hand, I've been a huge fan of Steve Howey ever since he was on Reba, and I love him on Shameless. Steve is a great comedic actor, so I'm sure that he'll do a great job on New Girl. On the other hand, a part of me wishes that the producers would stop bringing in new love interests for Jess and just have Jess and Nick get together for a while at this point. I realize that this is a TV show though and the writers have to draw out the progression of Jess and Nick's relationship, so they can't have them get together too soon, especially since this is only the second season of New Girl. Although, I've read a lot of spoilers and I've watched a lot of interviews that Zooey Deschanel and Jake Johnson have done recently, which seem to indicate that there's some major developments coming up later this season in terms of the progression of Jess and Nick's relationship and the possibility of them becoming a couple, which I'm definitely very excited about.
There's a part of me that's also okay with Jess and Nick not getting together for awhile since I've really been enjoying the relationship between Jess and Sam lately. Reading this news has definitely made me wonder about the future of their relationship though. While my feelings about Jess getting a new love interest are very mixed after reading this, I'm going to try and keep an open mind about this casting news since I'm such a huge fan of Steve Howey.
On a somewhat shallow note, I've pretty much always thought that Steve Howey was really hot, but I'm definitely not a fan of his most recent haircut/hairstyle and I don't care for his facial hair either. The way his hair looks these days and the facial hair aren't doing him any favors in the looks department. His current haircut and the facial hair really make him look rather creepy and gross, in my opinion, which is a shame, because I always thought that he was extremely attractive before he started wearing his hair like that and started sporting that hideous beard for the past several years.
