Kimmo Timonen’s wife Tanja Johanna Timonen is another one of those hard-to-track-down Finns. Unlike Swedes (who tend to show up on social media) Finnish wives can be tougher to find mention of. At first, I thought she was from Helsinki originally, but in truth I’m not entirely sure where she hails from in Finland. Kimmo and Tanja have three kids: two daughters and a son. Their daughter brought Kimmo in for show and tell after…
We’re going to change it up for a second on this one. It’ll seem to you the opposite of some stories you’ve heard and that we’ve even posted about NFL players whose parents and family get greedy and continually ask and even demand more from their gold-mine sons. Such is not the case for Kam Chancellor’s mom Karen Lambert. This is sort of the archetype of the rags-to-riches NFL athlete. Chancellor signed a $34 million…
Okay, so Jose Canseco blew his finger off. You’ve probably already heard about it, but it’s bad news. The reason Jose is in more trouble than you might think is that he really screwed up an important artery, and there’s a possibility he’ll lose the whole hand. Jose Canseco’s girlfriend Leila Knight has been responding two a ton of texts, tweets, and phone calls assuring everyone that Jose will be okay, but also making it…
Brandon Belt’s wife Haylee Belt was interviewed by the same lady who does all the San Francisco Giants “Diamond Girls” interviews, and the topic of the segment was “how to deal with a husband struggling on the job.” Man, that cracks me up. That’s like saying, “Hey that’s cool your husband is sticking around in the Majors, but how do you make him feel better now that he sucks at baseball?” Haylee answers the question…
Shelby Miller’s wife Amy Miller is coming up on her 1-year wedding anniversary with her young gunslinger husband. Last year they were wed in November and for some reason received a full writeup in the New York Times (your guess is as good as mine, folks– they’re exactly like most baseball relationships). According to the Times, Shelby’s wife Amy had a boyfriend of three years when she met Shelby, and he had just gone out…
American football legend, Vince Lombardi and wife Marie Lombardi will surely be looking down from the heavens to watch this Sunday’s 2014 Super Bowl. As head coach of the Green Bay Packers during the 1960s, Lombardi led the team to three straight and five total league championships in seven years, including winning the first two Super Bowls ever. Lombardi, arguably the best and most successful coach in NFL history, never lost a season, compiling a…
With Bayern in the Champions League final last year, we were touting the scoring ability of striker Mario Gomez and his smoking hot girlfriend Silvia Meichel. What a difference a year can make in soccer. Gomez has been replaced as top striker for the club, with another Mario taking his place. Mario Mandzukic transferred to Bayern for the start of the 2012 season. He came out of the gates blazing, scoring in his first 5…
