Brian Robison’s wife Jayme Robison was at one time a professional barrel racer, which I believe we’ve run across once before on playerwives, but I can’t recall who it was. Anyway, since you probably have no idea what barrel racing is: it’s when you ride a horse as fast as you can through a course made up of barrels. It’s pretty cool, and it’s way more interesting than dressage. There’s no jumps involved, but you…
Sam Acho’s wife Ngozo Acho married him in March of 2014, and when he was asked about it, he seemed elated. Both Sam and Ngozo are Nigerian, though Sam’s parents moved to America right before he was born. Apparently Sam grew up traveling to Nigeria on missions to improve living conditions for families there, and he met Ebichi on one of those trips. Ngozo had been taking care of Sam’s grandmother for years and working…
Continuing the longstanding tradition of athletes meeting their wives in college, Chad Greenway’s wife Jennifer Capista met him at the University of Iowa. I think part of this trend comes from young women recognizing the value of an up-and-coming athlete as he’s about to go pro, though this is certainly not the rule, and a lot of times the ladies don’t even know they’re into sports for weeks or even months. Anyway, Jennifer herself was…
James Jones’ wife Tamika Jones was a freshman at San Jose State when they met after a mutual friend introduced them. As Tamika tells it in a short interview, they started out as friends and grew into a couple in 2002. She told Inside The Huddle that he’ll eat “any food” after the game, but if it’s a night game he’ll eat breakfast sausage. She told the interviewer “believe it or not” after telling him…
Some players’ wives are just meant to be in the player wives community– taking care of kids, going on Caribbean vacations, trying to tie everything in life to the bible somehow, and watching their husbands crash into huge guys on a field surrounded by thousands of rabid fans. One such woman is Kurt Coleman’s wife Laura Coleman. The couple have two little girls who will grow up to be football fans, and Laura herself is…
Barry Church’s wife Marcia Thomas married him on June 26 of 2015. The ceremony took place in Antigua, and it was just the two of them since Marcia said she didn’t want “the whole ceremony thing.” The first time Barry and Marcia met, it was at a bar in Dallas, according to the Dallas Star. Barry was dating someone else at the time, but a few months later he was split from that lady, and…
Caleb Sturgis’ wife Kimberly Sturgis married him on July 5 of 2014 in Florida. Kimberly’s now a fitness instructor, which makes sense because she was formerly a cheerleader at the University of Florida. The couple met in the middle of their sophomore year during a cheerleading event that was held at Kimberly’s house. She didn’t think much of him at first other than that he was easy to talk to and funny (by football and…
