The Illinois man accused of gunning down his estranged wife<\/a>, an award-winning nurse and mother of three, is both a college football hall of famer and former “Family Feud” contestant who once joked that his “biggest mistake” was getting married.<\/p>\n

Timothy Bliefnick, who police say shot and killed Becky Bliefnick in her home in Quincy, Illinois,<\/a> before she was found on Feb. 23, appeared on an episode of “Family Feud” with his parents and siblings three years ago.<\/p>\n

“What’s your biggest mistake you made at your wedding,” the host Steve Harvey asked in an episode that aired in January 2020.<\/p>\n

“Honey, I love you, but, said I do,” Bliefnick replied, prompting a mix of laughs and gasps from the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Not my mistake, not my mistake \u2013 I love my wife,” Bliefnick added. “I’m gonna get in trouble for that aren’t I?”<\/p>\n

The episode had been taped in the fall of 2019, according to the local ABC affiliate.<\/p>\n

Bliefnick, through his attorney Casey Schnack, has maintained his innocence in his wife’s slaying.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Schnack told Fox News Digital Wednesday the “Family Feud” remark was a harmless quip and had nothing to do with the couple’s eventual decision to separate.<\/p>\n

“It’s a game show,” she said. “A silly answer to a silly question on a silly show doesn’t make one a murderer.”<\/p>\n

Speaking with the local ABC affiliate KHQA<\/a>, Bliefnick praised Harvey’s fashion choices after taping “Family Feud.”<\/p>\n

“My older brother had this white and floral sport coat and that automatically drew Steve’s eye, and then my younger brother had blue suede shoes on, so they got into a commentary thing which was neat to see,” he told the station.<\/p>\n

Since the “Family Feud” appearance and the beginning of the couple’s divorce process, Tim Bliefnick grew his hair out and moved his jokes to a TikTok account, which has since been set to private.<\/p>\n

Before he closed off access, Twitter user @901Lulu backed up several of the videos, which show Bliefnick staring into the camera with a coffee mug before telling a joke and taking a sip.<\/p>\n

“So at a party, my girlfriend told me to, \u2018Stop being an idiot \u2013 just be yourself,'” he said in one. “I looked at her and said, \u2018You better make up your mind.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Both Bliefnicks had graduated from Quincy University, the local Catholic college, where Tim was a football star.<\/p>\n

In the fall of 2019, the university announced <\/a>that he would be inducted into the program’s hall of fame \u2013 however his name was not visible on the roster of inductees when accessed Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“Tim Bliefnick \u201905 was a linebacker on the football team and finished with 287 career tackles, fourth-best in school history,” the original announcement stated. “His 104 tackles as a senior in 2004 rank fourth all-time in a single season.”<\/p>\n

He had several other honors \u2013 including multiple all-conference teams and the school’s Mart Heinen Award in his senior year, which “is given to the most outstanding male and female senior athletes at Quincy University.”<\/p>\n

Becky, for her part, graduated valedictorian from the local Catholic high school and went on to become an award-winning nurse, honored with a Daisy Foundation award at the height of the coronavirus pandemic for assisting the wife of a man whose husband was rushed into emergency surgery on short notice.<\/p>\n

But police earlier this week charged Tim with her murder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A hearing was scheduled for Wednesday to determine where the couple’s three sons could be placed following their mother’s death and father’s incarceration.<\/p>\n

The family has set up a GoFundMe campaign for their care and to create a scholarship in Becky’s honor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
