Gilbert Arenas' ex-girlfriend Laura Govan sent love to Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward after he reflected on the struggles his father went through.During a recent media availability, Ward shared how his dad's adversity inspired him to develop his work ethic."I've grown up watching my dad wake up at 4:30 doing a job he didn't like, so if I can't wake up early and do what I need to do for a job I do like, I shouldn't be playing football," Ward told reporters.
