Guys, do your Valentine’s Day plans consist of a night at home playing Madden and ordering Chinese takeout? Ladies, are you planning to find affection from a carton of Ben & Jerry’s and a Kate Hudson movie? Well, you could have it worse. Sure, plenty of athletes may have money, talent and, in many cases, no lack of romantic opportunities. But on this annual celebration of affection, The Daily compiled a list of stars who need some love, one way or another.

Despite leading the AFC in receptions this season, the Patriots receiver has been publicly criticized by everyone from "Saturday Night Live" comedians to Tom Brady's supermodel wife for his crucial fourth-quarter Super Bowl drop. With a new contract likely coming, Welker probably will eventually feel the love from New England fans once they get over their heartbreak.

BYU suspended the 6-foot-9 center last March for having premarital sex, a violation of the school’s honor code. The junior was reinstated to the team this season and while his scoring average is a career high, his shooting percentage (.493) is at its lowest in his three seasons. If only there was a way for him to relax.

The World Cup ski champion is single on Valentine’s Day for the first time in years after filing for divorce from husband/coach Thomas Vonn in November. In December, Vonn denied rumors via Twitter that she was dating Tim Tebow or "anybody else." You listening, fellas?

He’s in a committed relationship with Jesus Christ — and says he doesn’t "have a thing" with Katy Perry — but the Broncos quarterback’s relationship with team president John Elway isn’t quite as unconditional. Despite the millions of fans showering him with adulation after his breakout season, Tebow won’t be getting any valentines from his boss until he improves his passer rating.

The Texas Rangers star admitted to a recent alcohol relapse. The team immediately hired an assistant to support the embattled slugger, but it seems like he’s going to need all the love he can get from fans, teammates and family.

The 13-time Grand Slam winner has said how hard it is for her to make a love connection because she’s so picky, and she needs to make a connection with tennis referees after her "Real Housewife"-worthy tantrums in two of the past three US Open tournaments. She should probably just preemptively ship a few boxes of goodwill chocolate to Flushing Meadows today in advance of September.

Both fellow NASCAR drivers and police officers have no love for the 26-year-old, who was suspended from Nationwide and Sprint Cup races last fall for reckless driving and lost his license for going 128 mph in a 45-mph zone last summer. He’s paid his penance with the law but has a way to go in getting affection from his peers. Kevin Harvick recently called him “the only guy in the sport that I just don’t like.”

After 72 days of marriage, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from the Nets forward, who already had his worst traits exploited by reality show producers and tacky celebrity weeklies. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough, he also plays for New Jersey, which is 8-21 while playing in front of thousands of empty seats. So what’s a lovelorn guy who’s been rejected on a popular reality show to do? Introducing the star of ABC’s next installment of “The Bachelor,” Kris Humphries!
