Paul Chryst’s wife Robin Chryst is the mother of their three children, Katy, JoJo, and Danny. Robin has no problem addressing the media and appeared very comfortable in interviews following his hiring at Wisconsin in 2014. She stood there with a bunch of microphones in front of her face, and she answered all the questions about transition like a champ. When they moved from Pitt to Wisconsin, she said the players were like her kids….
James Franklin’s wife Fumi Franklin is the mother of their two daughters, Addy and Shola. Back in 2013, Fumi shared a story about Addy’s diagnosis of sickle cell anemia. She delivered the story to a crowd at a charity event held at Vanderbilt. They learned about the diagnosis when James was the head coach at Maryland. Fumi said the diagnosis was a shock because it came out of the blue. At that point, they considered the…
Haha Clinton Dix’s girlfriend Bria Moody is a certified lash technician. Look, you can’t introduce yourself as “certified lash technician” unless you have a sense of humor. It just doesn’t work. That’s like if I introduced myself as a top-ranked northeastern masturbator. The title itself has a joke built into it. So yes- she threads people’s brows, and she does it oh so well! In my time writing about pro athletes, I have come across…
Rodger Saffold’s wife Asia Saffold used to live on the same street when they were children. They didn’t stay in contact for a long time, but one day the big fella’ apparently sent her a Facebook message. You know how that goes. 2014 rolls around and they marry. Before they married, however, Asia gave birth to their first child, Aaliyah. Whoever said pop culture doesn’t affect people’s taste in baby names? Their second child, a…
Clint Irwin’s girlfriend Kasey Rudawsky sat at home with him and watched the election on November 8. They both felt alarmed by the results. Clint attended Elon University and writes occasional pieces for Sports Illustrated and Pacific Standard. Well, Clint, I felt alarmed too. It’s almost impossible to talk about the 2016 without instantly putting half the country on the defensive, but Clint said, “40 years of declining public educational standards finally coming home to roost. If the electorate…
Tosaint Ricketts’ girlfriend Dariana Shai spends significant time writing in her blog. It’s full of cliches and bad grammar. Much of the writing is meant to be uplifting and life-affirming (like everything else written by millennials with nothing to do). Unfortunately, she never says anything interesting. Her writing maintains a self-obsessed ideology centered around fame and the absurd idea that we are all special. She makes my eyes glaze over with her blog. Here’s an example (bad…
Steven Beitashour’s wife Karlie Beitashour met him at Leland High School in San Jose, California. She’s a California girl in her heart, but she lives with Steve in Toronto because he plays for Toronto FC. Karlie works at a social media marketing company. In fact, it’s more of an analytics data management company. They let you “manage all your social media marketing in one place.” I don’t know how it works, but they keep Karlie…
