Lesley Visser and ex-husband Dick Stockton are broadcasting legends. They’re heavyweights who’ve been in the game for so long, they helped shape the language of sports broadcasting. They met in 1975 at Game 6 of the World Series. It was the classic game that Carlton Fisk won with a home run that bounced off the foul pole. People forget that was in the 12th inning! If you watch the clip, Dick Stockton was the guy…
Media Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS)
Hunter Pence’s girlfriend Alexis Cozombolidis (awesome last name) has just finished creating a comic music video about Hunter Pence. In case you haven’t seen it, check it out below. Man, how cool is it to be Hunter and have a girlfriend like Alexis that does this kind of stuff? Lexi, as she likes to be called, might be one of the coolest athlete girlfriends I’ve seen in some time. First of all, she is a…
Keyshawn Johnson’s wife Jennifer Johnson just tied the knot about a week ago. No cheesy wedding videos and schmaltzy vows here. Keyshawn Johnson has turned into a badass of the first order. He made a lot of waves when he got into a feud with Justin Bieber. Man, his story regarding that whole thing was something else. I really can’t say that Jennifer Johnson plays into that particular drama at all, but having listened to…
Harold Reynold’s wife Kelley Browne has stuck with him through thick and thin, and she is rewarded as he is vindicated. There seems little doubt that she was on his side from day one after she was informed about the sexual harassment allegations that swarmed him in 2006. #117895819 / gettyimages.com Harold’s wife Kelley was apparently a model back in the days when the two started going out, but for the life of me I…
Jim Nantz’s wife Courtney Nantz is his second and far more youthful attempt at marital bliss. He pays his first wife the grand amount of $918,000 dollars per year in alimony. Nantz also reportedly makes an insane salary of $7 million a year. Let this be a lesson: if you are at the top of the broadcasting world, you will make bank, and there’s a small chance you will have to funnel 1/7th of that…
Phil Simms’ wife Diana Simms has never confused him with Boomer Esiason. I cannot say the same thing. There’s got to be tens of thousands of people who have confused the two. Esiason was probably a better quarterback. The only thing that I can find that Phil Simms really excelling at is leading the NFL in sacks yards lost in 1984 and fumbles in 1985, but that really isn’t fair because he did win the…
Trent Green’s wife Julie Green has been married to the big lug for 17 years. They met their junior year of college while they were both attending Indiana. Julie actually asked him to the sorority dance and not the other way around. Maybe Trent was shy. Julie said of their courtship, “”I asked him to a sorority dance, and being the gentleman he is, he called me and said we needed to get to know…
