Shaquille O'Neal is one of the best to ever do it. He accomplished more than most NBA players can dream of in his 19-year career with the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Boston Celtics. His trophy case includes four NBA titles, three NBA Finals MVPs, a regular-season MVP, two scoring championships, and multiple retired jerseys — not to mention his partnership with the late Kobe Bryant will go down as one of the greatest in league history. The LSU grad had a hugely successful career on the floor. Off it, he's the king of nicknames. From bestowing nicknames such as Paul "The Truth" Pierce, Dwyane "Flash" Wade, and Tim "Big Fundamental" Duncan to dawning several himself, Shaq has more talent for aliases than Jennifer Garner. Let's explore Shaq's best monikers: 12. The Big Shamrock -- Shaq adopted "The Big Shamrock" during his short time in Boston. 11. The Big Witness Protection -- Shaq's motto in Cleveland: Protect LeBron James at all costs. 10. The Big Cactus -- The Big Shaqtus: The largest walking succulent in recorded history. 9. The Big Baryshnikov -- Nimble and light on his feet, the center took on this nickname in reference to one of the greatest ballet dancers of all time, Mikhail Baryshinikov. 8. Wilt Chamberneezy -- Shaq took on this moniker during his time in Los Angeles, paying homage to the great Wilt Chamberlain. 7. L.C.L. (Last Center Left) -- Shaq considered himself in a different class than his counterparts around the league such as Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets and Dikembe Mutombo. He was the last center left in a league that's increasingly abandoning the position in a traditional sense. In 2016, ESPN ranked Shaq the fourth-best center of all time behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, and Bill Russell. 6. Shaq Fu -- Shaq Fu was a Super Nintendo System video game that was released in 1995. The big man's here to kick ass and take a gazillion nicknames. 5. M.D.E. (Most Dominant Ever) -- At 7-foot-1 and 325 pounds, Shaq made a mockery of anyone who stood in his way. 4. Shaq Daddy -- The Hall of Famer is one of the biggest personalities in the business. He can laugh at himself and knows how to have a good time. 3. Superman -- Clark Kent and Shaq. What's the difference? 2. The Diesel -- O'Neal released the rap album Shaq Diesel in 1993. Featuring A Tribe Called Quest member Phife Dawg, the record went platinum. The follow up, 1994's Shaq Fu: The Return, went gold. 1. The Big Aristotle -- Shaq became the greatest philosopher of our time after winning the 2000 MVP award. No matter what he's called, Shaq is one of the most beloved figures in sports.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will go down as one of the best players to ever step foot on the gridiron, having achieved a remarkable amount throughout his 20-year career in the NFL. Brees holds a plethora of quarterback records and even boasts a Super Bowl ring from his time as the Saints QB. For as near perfect as Brees' play on the field is, the star quarterback has a rather noticeable imperfection on his right cheek. Fans who watch the veteran quarterback will likely have noticed what appears to be a scar on the side of his face, leading many to question what happened to Drew Brees' face? Drew Brees' scar has been in the spotlight throughout his entire career. Even Oprah Winfrey mistakenly referred to it as a lipstick mark when he appeared on her talk show. Back in 2012, Brees sat down for an interview with CNN and opened up about the blot on his skin for the first time, which he revealed was actually a birthmark. "Because of my birthmark, which obviously I was born with, I got all kinds of comments when I was a kid, about 'Wipe that whatever off your face.' This and that. I got all kinds of nicknames." Not even being an All-American football quarterback protected a young Brees from ridicule over his birthmark, and that's something that stuck with him throughout his life. Now a multi-millionaire at 41 years old, Brees could easily go get the birthmark removed with plastic surgery, but rather than hide his imperfection, Brees wants to use it to send a positive message and encourage kids to shamelessly be themselves. https://www.instagram.com/p/B-PY1sMHoHf/ The former Purdue and San Diego Chargers star is the league's all-time leader in passing yards and lifted the Lombardi Trophy after the Saints' victory in Super Bowl XLIV against the Indianapolis Colts. Yet, despite all he's accomplished, questions about Drew Brees' birthmark still arise. The veteran endures the comments and proudly wears his birthmark in order to help uplift individuals who look up to him and may be struggling with self-confidence due to a similar imperfection. You can bet your bottom dollar that when Brees eventually gets inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he’ll be wearing his birthmark like a badge of honor.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s affair with the nanny rocked Hollywood back in 2011. The former governor of California had been married to Maria Shriver for 25 years by the time this illicit romance came to light. Americans were shocked to hear that Mildred Patricia Baena, an employee of the Schwarzenegger household, had in fact given birth to Schwarzenegger’s son 14 years earlier. Now that the scandal has passed, meet Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son Joseph Baena. Arnold Schwarzenegger had four children with his ex-wife Maria Shriver: Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher. The youngest, Christopher, was born in 1997… the same year as Schwarzenegger’s illegitimate son Joseph. In fact, the boys are less than one week apart in age! Patrick Schwarzenegger was born on September 27, 1997. Just five days later, Joseph Baena was born. During a Sixty Minutes interview in 2012, Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed that he did not realize Joseph Baena was biologically his until the boy “started looking like me, that’s when I kind of got it. I put things together.” By that point, Baena was seven or eight years old. Immediately, Schwarzenegger began financially providing for the Baenas. In 2010, he bought t a four-bedroom house in Bakersfield, California for the mother and son. At the start of 2011, Schwarzenegger left public office and Arnold Schwarzenegger has said that he revealed the truth to Maria Shriver at this time. On May 9, 2011, the couple split with Shriver moving out of their Brentwood mansion. The following week, The Los Angeles Times broke the salacious story of Schwarzenegger’s secret love child broke. As the son of Mildred Baena, the Schwarznegger housekeeper, Joseph grew up around the Schwarzenegger family and estate. An anonymous source told Page Six that while daughters Katherine and Christine have virtually no relationship with their half-sibling Joseph, the younger sons are presumably closer with him. Joseph was noticeably not present at his half-sister’s wedding to Chris Pratt in 2019. Regardless of the brush-off, Jospeph commented sweetly on Katherine’s Instagram photo: “Congratulations!” followed by fun emojis. Whether or not Baena is fully accepted by the entire family, Arnold Schwarzenegger does not shy from publicly embracing his son on social media. Despite the years of secrecy, Baena appears to have a great relationship with his famous father. On Baena’s birthday, Schwarzenegger wrote: “Happy birthday, Joseph. Great student, great athlete. I’m so proud of you and I love you!” See below, a proud shot of the pair from Baena’s graduation at Pepperdine University in 2019. At college, Baena studied business. Other online pics of Joseph Baena reveal insight into his personality. And of all the Schwarzenegger children, it seems like the youngest son most takes after dad. Baena’s passion is bodybuilding and his Instagram includes many Mr. Olympia-lookalike photos, with Baena and friends flexing at the gym. Even during the pandemic, there they are, bench-pressing in face masks. In one trending photo, Joseph recreates a moment from Pumping Iron directly. All in all, a bodybuilder-business man seems exactly like the kind of son you’d imagine for the Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger. With age, we look forward to Baena gaining more time in the spotlight. After a childhood spent hiding his identity, he deserves it.

10 Essential Kitchen Tools Everyone Should Have in their Kitchen What kitchen tools are the most important in your kitchen? Besides cookware (stainless steel, cast iron, or non-stick, what have you), there's a ton of tools every homecook needs to succeed in the kitchen! This isn't a fancy list of kitchen gadgets filled with kitchen equipment you'll use once in a while (looking at you immersion blender, food processor and microplane), but rather the tools you'll need every single day. Most can be found easily on Amazon. Here's our list of every day kitchen tools to always have on hand. 1. Knives - A chef's knife, a paring knife, and a serrated knife is essential! A high quality knife will last longer and will be less likely to slip and nick you. 2. Cutting Board - Always keep two on hand; one for meat and other for veg. I like to use a plastic cutting board that is dishwasher-safe for my meat. 3. Mixing Bowls - From plastic to glass, you'll want a few of these. 4. Measuring Spoons & Measuring Cups - One set of each will make baking a breeze. 5. Can Opener - A manual can opener is all you need 6. Colander or strainer - Draining pasta needs one! 7. Vegetable Peeler - A Swivel model is best. 8. Whisk, spoons and spatula - Every homecook needs one of each. We suggest using heat-resistant silicone spatulas or wooden spoons to prevent damage to your stock pot and such. 9. Meat Thermometer - It might not seem essential, but it is if you want to cook meat perfect every time. 10. Towel and potholders - Keep your hands safe with these tools.

Our favorite WWE Diva rose to fame as a fitness model before becoming a professional wrestler. It turns out Torrie Wilson not only had the charisma and confidence to show off her lean body for people seeking fitness goals but also for another audience who found her stunning. The WWE Superstar joined WWE after the acquisition of WCW in 2001 and became a crowd favorite instantly. (Along with Stacy Keibler). Wilson's SmackDown and Wrestlemania debuts are something to remember. After becoming popular in the wrestling world, Hugh Hefner offered Torrie Wilson a chance to pose for Playboy, and to this day, Torrie Wilson's Playboy is a sought after issue. There is a lot of drama behind the Playboy cover. After Torrie Wilson and Funaki defeated Nidia and Jamie Noble, the one and only Stephanie McMahon revealed that Wilson would be the Playboy cover girl. After calling her the "hottest, sexiest, and finest Diva," McMahon says Torrie Wilson will be featured in Playboy. Her photoshoot was big time. Dreams came true for many, but this crushed the hearts of a few hopefuls. To retaliate, Sable challenged her to a bikini contest, and Wilson won. Later, she had more feuds with Dawn Marie and Nidia, but they came to an end to form alliances. Many years later, Wilson left the ring. Although she left, she is now in the WWE Hall of Fame and has an iconic Playboy cover.

The story of Chris Kyle, a United States Navy SEAL sniper, became a national fascination when Kyle published the controversial memoir American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History in 2012. Clint Eastwood‘s critically acclaimed adaptation premiered two years later. But Kyle never got to see the story of his life on screen. He was murdered on February 2, 2013, at the Rough Creek Lodge shooting range in Erath County, Texas. Chris Kyle was born and raised in Odessa, Texas. He attended high school in Midlothian, Texas, and graduated in 1992. In 1999, Kyle intended to enlist in the Marine Corps special operations but was convinced by a recruiter to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. He graduated from basic training in 2001. Kyle quickly earned a reputation for being a good, and ruthless shot. During his deployment in Ramadi, local insurgents called Kyle “The Devil of Ramadi” and put a large bounty on his head. American troops, on the other hand, referred to Kyle as “The Legend.” The nickname originated while Kyle trained other snipers in Fallujah. Chris Kyle completed four tours of duty in the Iraq War, during which time he was shot twice and survived multiple IED detonations. The FBI confirmed more than 150 of Kyle’s total kills, making him the deadliest sniper in the Iraq War and quite possibly setting the record for any American sniper. Upon discharge, Kyle was awarded two Silver Stars and five Bronze Stars with valor, though the Navy later revised it to one Silver Star and four Bronze Stars with valor. In 2009, Chris Kyle left the SEAL team in Iraq and moved to Midlothian, Texas, with his wife, Taya Kyle, and their two children. He became the president of Craft International, a tactical training company. In 2012, his memoir American Sniper was published by HarperCollins. Kyle’s frank writing style, co-authored Scott McEwen and Jim DeFelice, connected with readers who found the account to be authentically blunt. The book also presented itself as being rigorously fact-checked, although some allegations of fabrication have come up. (One man involved, Jesse Ventura, sued Kyle for defamation; it was settled out of court. Regardless, the book became a massive commercial success. American Sniper remained on the New York Times bestseller list for 27 weeks. Following the fame, Kyle paired with the military nonprofit FITCO Cares Foundation. On February 2, 2013, Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield were shot and killed by Eddie Ray Routh at the shooting range of the Rough Creek Ranch-Lodge-Resort in Erath County, Texas. Routh was a 25-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran suffering from PTSD. Reports say that Kyle and Littlefield had taken the young man with them to the gun range in an effort to help him alleviate the mental trauma. In the end, it was Kyle’s guns that were used to murder both him and his friend. Although Kyle and Littlefield, too, were armed at the time, they were not able to unholster their guns and protect themselves. Eddy Ray Routh had been suffered from not only PTSD but schizophrenia and had been hospitalized intermittently. Texts reveal that while driving to the shooting range, Chris Kyle texted Chad Littlefield, “This dude is straight-up nuts.” Littlefield’s response: “Watch my six.” (Military slang for “Watch my back.”) Clearly, Kyle and Littlefield sensed the true danger of shooting partners. But it was not enough. While he was in his jail, Routh said: “I was just riding in the back seat of the truck, and nobody would talk to me. They were just taking me to the range, so I shot them. I feel bad about it, but they wouldn’t talk to me. I’m sure they’ve forgiven me.” Eddy Ray Routh was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole.

When it comes to pulling off insane stunts, Vicki Golden has made the seemingly impossible look easy. But, on July 7, 2019, the three-time X Games gold medalist took it to another level of extreme when she smashed through 13 plywood firewalls on a motorcycle, breaking a 12-year-old world record and achieving a feat that even renowned stuntman Evel Knievel couldn’t complete. The ridiculously dangerous stunt was part of “Evel Live 2,” the second annual televised event, put on by The History Channel and action-sports group Nitro Circus, that recreates stunts attempted by Knievel himself during his heydey in the ’60s and ’70s. Golden’s recreation was a homage to the 1966 debut show of “Knievel and his Daredevils” in Indio, California, where Knievel shattered flaming boards, performed wheelies, and jumped over two pickup trucks. Traveling at 30 MPH, the 27-year-old Golden became the first woman to set a new world record for riding through flaming wooden boards, beating the 12-board record set by Louis “Rocket” Re in 2007. “This was such an iconic record to go after,” Golden told Good Morning America. “It’s not something you hear about every day, everyone always wants to jump as far as they can possibly go and this was just something that just felt so good that it was inspired by Evel Knievel himself that I just had to go after it.” “It sounds easy to count to 13 but not when you’re doing all that. I totally lost track of what I was doing.” Golden’s inspiration for the fiery stunt was her late father, a dirt bike racer who ended up getting paralyzed in an accident. “My dad was a huge Evel Knievel fan,” Golden said, according to History.com. “I did it for him and I did it for Evel.” Vicki Golden’s mother was there to see her daughter complete the stunt, which only added to the emotion of the day. “She’s been there for all my struggles and maybe one or two of the celebrations so for her to be there for this [was] special,” Golden said. Unfortunately, not every stunt ended successfully. During a practice run only days before the event, 22-year-old freestyle motocross athlete Axell Hodges seriously injured his ankles and was unable to attempt his two stunts: one where he was meant to soar more than 200 feet over 25 semi trucks and another that, if completed, would have broken Robbie Maddison’s record of 378 feet and 9 inches as the longest motorcycle jump for all time. Hodges arrived at “Evel 2 Live” only as a spectator and to cheer on Golden, but he’s determined to get back on the bike soon and make a quick comeback as a competitor. “I’m bummed out for sure but there will be more to come,” Hodges said. Vicki Golden has racked up a number of impressive accomplishments during his motocross career. The San Diego, California native started racing at the age of seven, but her career really took off at 16, when she raced the Loretta Lynn’s Amateur Motocross National Championships in Tennessee and won the Women’s Amateur National Champion title. The freestyle motocross rider is also the first woman to compete in a freestyle Moto X competition, earning the bronze medal in the best whip category. Speaking of firsts, Golden is also the first woman in Energy AMA Supercross to qualify for the “Fast 40.″ Having won three consecutive gold medals in Women’s Moto X Racing at the X Games, Golden was nominated for an ESPY Award in 2014 for Best Female Action Sports Athlete. She is also the first female team member of Metal Mulisha, a lifestyle clothing brand that sponsors various racers.

We've given you lots of recipes that rely on crab meat, and for good reason. Crab is delicious and you can incorporate it into so many different kinds of dishes, making it useful for appetizers and main dishes alike. Crab is a versatile seafood, but it's also expensive. As with other luxury ingredients, if you could find a good substitute, you'd probably use that. FEATURES FOOD RECIPES HOMESTEAD LIFESTYLE HOME-COOKING imitation crab Sarah Ramsey What Exactly is Imitation Crab and Should You Eat It? SARAH RAMSEY POSTED OCTOBER 13, 2020 We've given you lots of recipes that rely on crab meat, and for good reason. Crab is delicious and you can incorporate it into so many different kinds of dishes, making it useful for appetizers and main dishes alike. Crab is a versatile seafood, but it's also expensive. As with other luxury ingredients, if you could find a good substitute, you'd probably use that. Fortunately, there is an alternative to expensive crab, but what is imitation crab exactly? Is it good, and is it good for you? Let's take an in-depth look at this mock seafood. Mock meats have been around a long time, although they're growing in popularity. Veggie burgers take the place of beef, and there are infamous soy-based products like Tofurkey. But imitation crab meat isn't technically a mock seafood, because the main ingredient is actually fish. Surimi, which is Japanese for "ground fish," is bits of fish blended together to form a paste. According to The Japan Times, "surimi has been used in Japan for over 800 years in the form of kamaboko, a kind of seafood log that can be produced in various shapes and colors, which is sliced and most commonly added to soups." The kamaboko is the precursor to the crab stick, which was invented by Katsuichi Osaki at the Osaki Suisan Company in 1974 in Kusatsu, Japan. Osaki added red food coloring to the crab stick and cut them into strips so that they would look more like crab legs. Crab sticks are often used for sushi, specifically to make California rolls. Here's a fun fact: Surimi is made here in the United States. Although imitation crab was being imported from Japan and was becoming popular with consumers, there wasn't a welcoming atmosphere for producing surimi products domestically until the 80s, says Alaska Pubic Media. But with the collapse of a king crab fishery in Kodiak, food suppliers were looking for an alternative and Alaska fisheries catch a lot of Alaskan pollock which, as it turns out, is the perfect fish to make imitation crab. Imitation crab doesn't include any actual crab meat, and although it does include fish, today only about half of the seafood product is made with real fish, mostly a white fish such as Alaskan pollock. Food manufacturers use egg whites and starch to give the food its shape, and flavorings including salt, sugar and other sweeteners, and natural or artificial flavors to give it a crab-like taste. Nutritionally speaking, imitation crab has less fat and cholesterol than real crab meat. However, it also has less protein and fewer nutrients than the real thing, and it has more sugar. Some brands add other fillers like sorbitol for preservation, vegetable oil for texture and to extend shelf life, and monosodium glutamate (MSG) for flavor. Imitation crab, in spite of its nickname as the "hot dog of the sea," isn't inherently bad. In fact, in many dishes, it's a smart, cost-effective choice. If you're mixing the crab with other ingredients, as with crab dip or a seafood salad, using quality imitation crab can make your food budget go farther. But like all processed foods, take a good look at the label to see exactly what is in your imitation crab before buying it. And if you're eating out, ask if the crab cakes or crab rolls are the real deal or made from surimi.

Okay, so we all remember the Obama family. But with the former vice president Joe Biden now entering the White House, it’s hard not to compare this moment with 2008. When George W. Bush was on his way out and slogans like HOPE and CHANGE and YES WE CAN dominate. That’s when a fresh first family was introduced to our country. The Way I See It, a recent documentary about White House photographer Pete Souza, has reminded viewers about what those eight years looked like at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. For many, those were touching images. Pictures of our first family — the children, the events, the candid smiles — can define the national mood. So what is Barack Obama’s beautiful family up to now? Plus: read on for Obama’s year-end 2020 picks. Our first African American president Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. His mother Ann Dunham was originally from Kansas, and met his father, Barack Obama Sr., in a local class at the University of Hawaii. Obama Sr. was a visiting Kenyan student, and he married Dunham six months before the birth of young Barack. However, the marriage only lasted a few years. Obama’s father eventually returned to Kenya and died in a car accident when his son was just 21 years old. This fractured relationship is explored in Barack Obama’s memoir, Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance. His new memoir, A Promised Land, is out now. Barack Obama’s mother remarried to Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian grad student, and had a daughter, Obama’s half-sister Maya Soetoro-Ng. When the family relocated to Indonesia more permanently, Obama stayed behind in Hawaii with his maternal grandparents for high school. He went on to attend Occidental College then transferred to Columbia University in New York City to study political science. Later, as a law student at Harvard University, Obama became president of The Harvard Law Review. In 1989, he met his future wife Michelle Robinson while working at the Chicago law firm, Sidley Austin. Robinson was Obama’s temporary adviser and by the end of the summer, they were dating. On October 3, 1992, they were married and ready to begin their own family. Michelle Obama (née Robinson), wife to the 44th president of the United States, was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. Her father, Fraser Robinson III, was a city water plant employee and Democrat precinct captain. Her mother, Marian Shields, would eventually join her daughter in the White House. Growing up in the city’s historic South Shore neighborhood, Michelle Robinson attended Chicago’s first magnet high school, Whitney Young. (So did the author of this article!) She graduated as her class salutatorian in 1981. Like her older brother Craig Robinson, the future Mrs. Obama attended Princeton University and later, Harvard University for post-grad. However, she and Barack Obama did not overlap at Harvard Law School. Michelle would not meet Barack until he came to work in Chicago, and she would not succumb to his charms until seeing in action at a community organizers meeting in the summer of 1989. The pair married in 1992, and using Vitro fertilization, the Obamas had their first daughter Malia Ann in 1998, then Natasha, known as Sasha, in 2001. As a professional mother, Michelle Obama and her husband, the budding politician, raised their young family on the South Side of Chicago for many years. During her husband’s 2008 bid for president against Republican senator John McCain, Michelle struggled to aid him on the campaign trail while remaining available for their two young daughters Sasha and Malia. But the hard work paid off; the Obamas moved into the White House in 2009 and Michelle Obama went on to become one the most beloved and relatable (and stylish) First Lady in the history of the United States. Since leaving office, Michelle Obama and her husband entered a contract to produce a wide variety of material for Netflix. Becoming, the documentary about Michelle’s life inspired by her eponymous memoir is out now. The Obama daughters Malia and Sasha were just little kids when their father left the U.S. Senate to become America’s Commander in Chief. Eldest daughter Malia Ann Obama was born in 1998. She lived her entire adolescence under the media scrutiny of the presidency. Having attended the University of Chicago Lab School until the family’s move to Washington D.C., Malia then enrolled in the local Quaker institution, Sidwell Friends School. She currently attends Harvard University, after taking a gap year in 2016. This makes Malia Obama a current college senior — meaning she’s continuing her studies online at the moment. Malia Obama’s boyfriend, Rory Farquharson, is a fellow Harvard student. (The British international student hails from an extremely wealthy investing family across the pond.) Farquharson even quarantined with Malia and her family at the start of the coronavirus pandemic! Speaking of the experience on The Bill Simmons Podcast, the former president said “I didn’t want to like him, but he’s a good kid.” Natasha “Sasha” Obama was born in 2001. Like her older sister, she attended The University of Chicago Lab School and the Sidwell Friends School before setting off to college. Departing from the family’s Ivy League tradition, the youngest Obama chose the University of Michigan for her studies. She is currently a sophomore at the school. Sasha made news recently for her presence on social media platform TikTok, which features her dancing alongside friends. Although the media dragged these quick videos as inappropriate, they are… extremely PG. See for yourself below. Like so many American college students, Sasha Obama was forced to pack it up from the dorms last spring and join her family in Covid lockdown. But for Sasha Obama, living at home is pretty sweet. In 2018, her mom Michelle revealed their post-White House set-up on Ellen, saying that Sasha has the biggest suite in the house, which includes her own living room. The Obama family now resides permanently just outside of Washington D.C., although they do keep a sprawling vacation property in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. And of course, there was the Obama dogs. Their first Portuguese Water Dog, Bo, was a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy. Bo joined the Obama family when he was just a puppy, for Barack Obama’s inauguration. His energetic (occasionally mischievous) demeanor, goofy grin, and adorable white spots led to a fantastic surge in the breed. For the second term, Bo got a sister: Sunny. (See the pics below.) These two were sorely missed when Barack Obama left office in 2016. Soon, two new buddies will enter the coveted position of First Dog: Joe Biden’s German Shepherds, Chance, and Major.

What Is Grog? Grog originated in the British royal navy, specifically with vice-admiral William Penn. Penn landed in Barbados in the 17th Century and captured modern-day Jamaica. Although this was significant for many reasons, one of them was the introduction of rum to the royal navy. While Jamaica had little beer or wine, there was plenty of rum to be found, and it soon became popular among sailors of the British Royal Navy to consume a generous amount of navy rum to make the long, arduous passages more bearable. But sailors kept getting drunk with the rum so in the 18th century, Vice Admiral Edward Vernon, a British admiral who's nickname was "Old Grog," chosen for his grogram cloak of wool, silk and mohair. decided to that each man's half-pint of rum ration would be diluted with a quart of water. The sailors weren't too happy and named to the diluted alcoholic drink, "grog" after how much they despised it. When it ports they would purchase brown sugar and lime juice to make the drink taste a little bit better. The sailors soon learned that the "disgusting alcoholic beverage" soon saved their lives from scurvy. So can you still find grog on ships? Well, maybe on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. On July 30th, 1970 went down in history as the last day that the Royal Navy's sailors received a grog ration. This date was known from then on as Black Tot Day, as a "tot" was another word for the ration of rum given to sailors.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is undoubtedly one of the most successful and talented players in the NFL today. His accomplishments on the field, including nine Pro Bowls, three MVP awards, and a Super Bowl victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2011, are proof of his greatness. In addition to his accolades on the gridiron, Rodgers has become known for his extensive dating history. His list of former flames includes models, actresses, and fellow athletes. Earlier in the NFL player’s career, he was spotted with several women, including celebs such as model Julie Henderson and the lead singer of Lady A, Hillary Scott. Rodgers was also rumored to have dated sports media personality Erin Andrews, well before Jimmy Garoppolo could get the chance to hit on her during a postgame interview. From 2011 to 2013, he was involved with Destiny Newton and was reportedly engaged to her, though he was much more secretive about his love life then. This led to speculation about his interest in nearly every woman he was photographed with. In 2014, Rodgers began a relationship with actress and television host and actress Olivia Munn. She attended every Green Bay Packers home game when the two were together. Munn even wrote a "Thank You" note to Packers fans after their loss in the 2017 NFC Championship game to the Atlanta Falcons, describing how proud she was of the team for competing well against diversity “on and off of the field.” Many believed that Munn was referencing Rodgers’ complicated family situation. Aaron’s brother, Jordan Rodgers, was a contestant on The Bachelor and claimed that the future Hall of Fame quarterback was estranged from his family and implied that the actress was a big reason why. Although she was a supportive girlfriend at the time, the couple broke up in 2017 after three years of dating. In 2020, Munn appeared to throw shade at her ex-boyfriend on a podcast, sharing the salacious details of their sex life with Whitney Cummings. While she did not outright say that the person she was talking about in the episode was Rodgers, conclusions were inevitably drawn by the media and NFL fans on social media. After his breakup with Munn, Rodgers began dating former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick in early 2018. At the time, Patrick was coming out of a relationship of her own with fellow racer Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Rodgers and girlfriend Danica Patrick were seen at several NBA games together, and the two appeared in a hilarious sketch parodying the movie I, Tonya at the ESPYs, the ESPN awards show. They also shared a $28 million home in Malibu. Ultimately, Patrick’s rep confirmed to E! News that the couple called it quits in July 2020. The former race car driver has made thinly-veiled references to the breakup, posting pics on Instagram with captions signaling the importance of personal growth, and examining the relationships one chooses to have. She even called a class curated by Tara Toomey “emotional therapy” during her post-breakup blues. On Quibi’s The Rachel Hollis Show, she stated that her next boyfriend “had his work cut out for him”, as she had grown as a person and wanted to be sure she was ready to date again before going straight into another relationship. Meanwhile, on The Pat McAfee Show on SiriusXM, Rodgers discussed having an “increased love of life” and said he was in a “lot better headspace” going into the 2020 NFL season, so it appears he has taken this experience and used it for growth, too. Social media never tells the full story of someone’s life, and it appears that their relationship was not always as rosy as they made it appear to the public. Since July 2020, Rodgers has been rumored to be dating actress Shailene Woodley. According to the gossip website TerezOwens.com, Patrick was the one who introduced the football player to the 28-year old Hollywood star. The two were spotted at Lake Tahoe when Rodgers competed in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament during the NFL’s offseason. Though the rumors are merely just rumors at that point, the timing added up, as Woodley split from ex-boyfriend Ben Volavola in April. Then, in 2021, they announced they were engaged. Aaron Rodgers has been a staple of Wisconsin sports for nearly two decades. Since he is now looking at his life through what he calls a "positive lens," NFL fans can expect to see him perform well on the field for the rest of his career.

Yellowstone had the bunkhouse rattled with the addition of the rough and daring new ranch hand, Teeter, played by actress Jennifer Landon, in season 3. Landon was definitely ready for the challenges she would face working on the Dutton family ranch; she had been trained on soap operas after all which is basically acting boot camp. As the daughter of the beloved TV actor Michael Landon, Landon was destined to end up a TV star. She grew up in the prestigious Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, her first acting gig as a little girl on her father's show, Highway to Heaven, after he had already made a name for himself starring in Little House On The Prairie and Bonanza. Though her father passed away when she was only eight years old, she continued acting. She even studied at the prestigious New York University in New York City before returning to make a name for herself in Hollywood. Landon went on to win three consecutive Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Gwen Norbeck Munson in the CBS soap, As The World Turns. She even went on to play Heather Stevens on The Young and the Restless as well as made appearances on House, Days of Our Lives, Banshee, Chicago Med, and Animal Kingdom. But there is no doubt that Landon will be known for her current role on the Paramount Network's hit TV show Yellowstone opposite incredible actors like Kevin Costner and Cole Hauser. Teeter was a quick fan favorite as soon as she first appeared on the Dutton Ranch and as Landon tells Decider, it's unclear if she'll ever top the role. "Yellowstone‘s amazing. I’m a lunchbox actor. Each job is a job fought for and a job got. So after all that hard work, to get something like Yellowstone and to get to work Taylor Sheridan, who I have tremendous respect for, and with actors of this caliber, it’s a no-brainer. Plus, I don’t know if I’ll ever audition for a part as cool as Teeter for the rest of my life. And I’m kind of okay with that." Teeter's character offered a powerful female addition to Yellowstone season 3's cast. Landon explains that when she first auditioned for the role, she used chewing gum as dip, which got added to the character's storyline on the show. "Teeter is gender defying in a lot of ways. The pink hair was in the character description based on somebody Taylor knows. What wasn’t in the character description was dipping tobacco. When I auditioned for the role, I used chewing gum as a substitute for dip and wore a baseball cap."

As you probably know, there is somewhat of a stigma surrounding minivans. Namely, that they’re not “cool” or “manly” enough. Then, of course, there’s the whole soccer mom cliche. You pretty much know the drill. Even with the rise of crossovers and MPVs, which have strived to, in a way, rebrand minivans as more sleek-looking vehicles, some folks out there still give minivans a bad rap. So, with that in mind, we’re here to remind you that the term “minivan” shouldn’t scare you away just because you’re a dad looking to pack in your kids for that family vacation, or a bachelor in need of some extra storage for a much-needed road trip. There are plenty of cool minivans out there. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at these minivans that you definitely won’t feel ashamed driving. Chrysler Pacifica Replacing the Chrysler Town and Country (which, by the way, is another solid minivan choice), the Chrysler Pacifica has two powertrains and a 3.5-liter v6 engine as well as a plug-in hybrid, marketed as the Pacifica Hybrid, which boasts an outstanding fuel economy. It even got Jim Gaffigan’s approval, which is just a special bonus. Honda Odyssey The Honda Odyssey has been in production since 1994, but it wasn’t until 2014 that the Japanese automaker gave the Odyssey a serious facelift complete with a long list of available features. Hooking it up with a six-speed automatic transmission and a much more stylish exterior, Toyota also outfitted fourth-gen Odyssey models with smart-entry capabilities, LED rear taillight bars, and even gave the Touring Elite model a built-in vacuum cleaner. The most recent, fifth-gen models are even more streamlined than previous iterations, making the Odyssey one seriously slick ride as well as a quality family hauler. Kia Sedona/Carnival Known interchangeably as the Kia Sedona and the Kia Carnival, the 2019 model is known for its premium styling, fuel-efficient petrol engine, and top-notch cargo space and back-seat comfortability. The spacious third row and rear-seat entertainment capabilities certainly don’t hurt either. Toyota Sienna The Toyota Sienna has undergone a number of impressive upgrades since first hitting the production line back in ’97. Currently offered in five trim levels, the Sienna has such badass features as an optional sliding second row with Lounge Seating recliner chairs, a Smart Key System with push-button start, and a back-up camera with 180-degree panoramic view. Of course, your Sienna probably won’t end up looking like the one pictured above (unless you plan on modding it), but it’s good to know that the minivan has that sort of capacity to be tricked out.

Kobe Bryant once said if there's one thing he could change about his game it would be hand size. NBA scouts couldn't agree more. At the NBA Draft Combine, large hands make them salivate. A good-sized pair of mitts give NBA players so many advantages. A firm handle on the ball, the ability to snare rebounds, the fattest hand turkey drawing, you name it. In the NBA, the king of massive hands is none other than Serbian center Boban Marjanovic. If Boban got you in a game of "if your hand is bigger than your face you have cancer," you would suffer a subtle case of a knockout blow. The Dallas Mavericks center is listed at 7-foot-4, 290 pounds. His paws have never officially been measured, but they're estimated to have a 10.75-inch hand length and a 12-inch hand span. The estimates spawn from Boban comparing hands with former San Antonio Spurs teammate Ray McCallum in a pic. For reference, McCallum has a hand length of 8 inches and a span of 8.75 inches. Spurs fans remember Boban Marjanovic's hands on display in an interview with reporter Andrew Monaco following a victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on December 28, 2015. Boban's huge hands exceed the average human hand length by 3.35-inches and span by 3.5 inches. On top of that, Boban sports a 7-foot-10 wingspan. It's no surprise the former Spurs, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers, and Philadelphia 76ers big man has the largest hands we've seen from a basketball player, including multiple All-Stars. He ranks ahead of Kawhi Leonard, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James, Julius Erving, Noah Vonleh to name a few. On the small hands end of the spectrum live Kevin Durant and Paul George. Durant has publicly admitted to not be able to palm a basketball. Wayoff P's hand length comes in at 8.5-inches and span at 9 inches. Boban's gigantic hands inspired the Reddit thread entitled "Boban holding things." When the Serbia native isn't trading punches with Keanu Reeves on the big screen, he's playing a bigger role than just doing his job on the court. Boban's been praised for his locker room presence and mentorship by Mavericks' franchise cornerstones Kristaps Porzingas and superstar Luka Doncic. He signed with the Mavericks as a free agent in July 2019. He joined the team along with Seth Curry. Shaq and the Inside the NBA crew caught up with the big man following the Mavs' win over the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 2 of the first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs, and it did not disappoint. How can you not love this guy? Boban's loved everywhere he goes. His friendship with former teammate Tobias Harris is well documented. In October 2020, he sat down with former Sixers teammate and current New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick to showcase his enormous hands. Boban's hands are a vital tool. He fills the lane, dunks, catches everything in sight, and sports a silky jump hook. You know what they say about big hands. Big gloves.

One of the best parts of watching NBC's The Voice is watching Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani's relationship. While pairing might have seemed odd at fire, we love watching their love and we're totally rooting for the musical couple. The two met for the first time on the set of The Voice. Stefani had just embarked on a solo career from her band, No Doubt, and joined fellow coaches Shelton, Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams on Season 7. She had also just had a baby with her husband Gavin Rossdale, so she wasn't really able to bond with her costars. Any downtime was spent on baby duty. Everything changed during Season 8 in the summer of 2015 when both Shelton and Stefani went through divorces. Shelton ended his four-year marriage with Miranda Lambert. Stefani ended her 13-year marriage with Rossdale that resulted in three sons. The pair leaned on each other during that time and found a real connection. Big fans of Stefani probably never would have dreamed she'd end up with a country singer, but the pair seems pretty perfect. By November of 2015, Shelton and Stefani were officially a couple. The following year, the couple made their big red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. Shelton told Billboard that Gwen saved him. "Gwen saved my life. Who else on earth could understand going through a high-profile divorce from another musician? You can't even imagine the similarities in our divorces." A couple of years later, the couple is still going strong when Shelton lands the coveted title of People's Sexiest Man Alive. The country star credited Stefani for convincing him to accept the honor. “She goes, ‘Listen to me, you’re going to regret this for the rest of your life if you don’t take this gift and just live in the moment.” The Oklahoma native has also really hit it off with Stefani's sons, Kingston, Zuma and Apollo. He's stepped into the "stepdad" role seamlessly. Shelton and Stefani announced their engagement in Ocobter. "Thanks for saving my 2020...And the rest of my life," Shelton wrote to his bride-to-be in a sweet social media post. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Decades before his rise to fame, Jimmy Fallon was named “Most Likely to Replace David Letterman” in his eighth-grade yearbook. The American comedian hasn’t exactly replaced David Letterman, but Fallon does host a talk show of his own: the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. And according to recent estimates, Fallon is the highest-paid late-night talk show host in the United States. In this article, we’ll chronicle the comedian’s ascent to late-night greatness. Jimmy Fallon: The Early Years On September 19, 1974, James Thomas Fallon was born in Brooklyn, New York to James W. Fallon and Gloria. The Fallon family is Roman Catholic and Fallon served as an altar boy for many years — and even considered becoming a priest. Luckily for his fans, Fallon’s love of comedy outweighed his priestly ambitions. From a young age, Jimmy had a knack for impression. As children, the future television host and his sister Gloria would act on scenes from Saturday Night Live. When he was old enough, Jimmy took his celebrity impersonations on the road when he started performing standup at venues nationwide. In 1995, Fallon dropped out of College of Saint Rose to move to Los Angeles and pursue comedy full-time. He secured a manager and got bookings at the age of 21. That’s where he would often do standup at the Improv, earning a minimum of $7.50 per set, joining classes with The Groundlings. After two years with the Groundlings he auditioned for SNL in 1997 but, unfortunately, was unsuccessful. But, he was cast in a pilot for The WB, making sure to include a clause saying if he were to join SNL he would be released from his contract. That’s when his managers send several videotapes to SNL producers. Fallon on “Saturday Night Live” After appearing on the show Spin City, he landed an audition with SNL. He impressed Lorne Michaels with his impressions of SNL alumni like Adam Sandler and Jerry Seinfeld and got the gig. Fallon was a cast member on the NBC show from 1998 to 2004. From 2001 to 2004, Fallon famously co-hosted the SNL “Weekend Update” with fellow cast member Tina Fey. He quickly became what some could say a ‘charm bate’ gaining a large female fan base, becoming the program’s most featured mimic. He would do popular impressions of Jerry Seinfeld, Howard Stern, and Robert Deniro. During his time with SNL, he released a book comprising several email exchanges with his sister Gloria, titled “I Hate This Place: A Pessimist’s Guite to Life,” and filmed a minor role for Almost Famous. He also co-hosted the 2001 and 2002 MTV Movie Awards and recorded his debut comedy album, The Bathroom Wall which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album. He was later on named People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People in 2002. Fallon began to pursue a movie career in 2004. His first lead role was in Taxi, co-starring Queen Latifah. He was apparently attracted to the film’s action-comedy tone, comparing wi with Eddie Murphy’s 48 Hrs. His second major role starred opposite Drew Barrymore in 2005 in the romantic comedy Fever Pitch. “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” Prior to leaving SNL, producer Lorne Michaels had mentioned to Fallon that he would be a great fit to take over NBC’s Late Night franchise when Conan O’Brien would depart to host the Tonight Show in the future. Michaels then urged NBC to give Fallon a deal so that other networks wouldn’t lure him their way. He aired his first show, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, on NBC in 2009. The reviews were mixed, but Fallon did manage to prove himself different from other late-night hosts, with more dancing, games, music, and impersonation. As of August 2013, it was said that Fallon’s earning salary was $11 million a year during his time on Late Night. He even went on to host the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards in 2010. He later won a Grammy in 2013 for Best Comedy Album for “Blow Your Pants Off.” The show ran until 2014 when Fallon kicked off his second late-night talk show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He succeeded Jay Leno and became the sixth permanent host of The Tonight Show, debuting on February 17, 2014, with 11.3 million viewers. The rest is history. What Is Jimmy Fallon’s Net Worth? In 2020, Jimmy Fallon’s net worth is estimated to be $60 million. His estimated annual salary of $16 million makes him one of the richest comedians, along with Stephen Colbert ($15 million), Jimmy Kimmel ($15 million), and Conan O’Brien (12 million). It really doesn’t surprise us since the host is an actor, comedian, producer, television host, and writer. Plus let’s not forget his Primetime Emmy Awards. As far as his personal life, Fallon met his wife Nancy Juvonen on the set of SNL, proposed in 2007, and married in 2007. They have two daughters, Frances Cole and Winnie.

The Polaris General XP 4 1000 Pursuit Edition is the offroad powersports leader's hunting-centric machine, ready for anything a sportsman or woman can throw at it. The 100 horsepower ProStar 1000 4-Stroke DOHC Twin Cylinder engine is just what the doctor ordered, and the On-Demand True AWD/2WD/VersaTrac Turf Mode drive systems make driving and operating this side-by-side more than enjoyable, even when your mind is on the hunt and not the ride. The General XP 4 1000 is a four-seater with 13.5 inches ground clearance and four Pro Armor tires on 15-inch cast aluminum wheels. The 115-inch wheelbase ensures it's wide enough to stay stable while loaded down, but narrow enough to make it through tight spots. The hitch towing rating reaches 1,500 pounds, and the overall vehicle size is 150.2 x 64 x 77 in (L x W x H). The Bed Box dimensions are 27.5 x 43.1 x 11.6 in (L x W x H). The Pursuit Camo pattern that's splashed across the frame, seats, and bed box is exclusive to Polaris, and the 1,100-pound payload capacity ranks among the tops in the industry. The front suspension includes a High Clearance Dual A-Arm with Stabilizer Bar, providing 14 inches of travel, and the same goes with the Long Travel High Clearance Dual Arm IRS with Stabilizer Bar that makes up the rear suspension. There are Walker Evans Velocity Series Shocks in the front and rear as well. Perhaps most notably, the new Rear Box Rack adds a stacking element to the back bed storage, and there's a Kolpin Gun Mount & Boot to secure your weapons through any conditions. The instrumentation is eye-pleasing with its Dual-sweep Analog Dials w/ 4" LCD Rider Information Center. The versatility factor is multiplied when you add in the Polaris HD 4500 LB Winch, the Pro Armor 11" Light Bar, the Sport Low Profile Color-Matched Front Bumper, and the Rockford Fosgate Stage 1 Audio system. Pricing starts at $25,999, but that includes all the features and upgrades we've mentioned. In our opinion, this UTV makes a serious case for earning the top spot in the race for "Ultimate Hunting Machine."

If you have a passion for soccer and motorcycling, then this might be exactly the sport you need to hear about. Motoball, also referred to as motorcycle polo, combines the two sports into one awesomely chaotic game. As far as team sports go, this is definitely a game I could see myself getting involved with. Unfortunately, it’s not all that common to see in the United States, but it’s prominent in Europe. There’s a handful of tournaments that take place each year in well-known groups, such as the European Nations Championship, the Coupe de France, and the European Champions Club Cup. The teams normally consist of five players: four on dirt bikes and one goalie. The bikes are limited to 250cc to level the playing field. If that doesn’t have you sold yet, just take a look at some of this incredible footage! How Motoball Works Motoball has relatively the same rules as soccer, meaning the motorbike athletes cannot touch the ball with their hands or the opposite team will be awarded with free kicks, though the goalkeepers are allowed to use their hands. They’ve got a six-meter D-shaped area around the goal, which the riders are not allowed to enter. The ball used is about twice the size of a traditional soccer ball. There’s no intentional ramming allowed, and the chains have special guards on them, so at least there was some consideration for safety. These athletes riding motorcycles on the motoball teams need to be highly skilled on two wheels and have complete confidence while controlling their bikes. It should be no surprise that most of them are either ex-motocross riders, enduro riders, or they’ve been a racer for some other kind of motorcycle sport before. The bikes are custom built for each player’s specific height and weight, and they’re capable of going up to 40 MPH (65 KM/H). This is definitely one extreme motorsport, and it’s hard to look away from all the craziness that’s going on once it begins. The amount of control the racers have while also maneuvering the bike across a slick ground is pretty impressive, especially considering the other team is trying to steal the ball away. If you’ve never witnessed it before, now’s your chance to see why soccer on motorcycles is one epic sport.

Whatever happened to Creme Savers Hard Candy? You might remember the very popular flavor, Strawberry Cream. Bring back any memories? There were also other flavors like Orange Cream and Raspberry Cream, but you really couldn't go wrong with Strawberries and Cream. A spinoff hard candy of Life Savers, Creme Savers were produced by Nabisco in the late 90s and were sadly discontinued mid-00s without a clear explanation. Sadly, you can't find bags of Creme Savers at big stores like Walmart and Target, not even Amazon. However, there is some good news. There are some brands you can find nowadays that are producing hard candies, which taste very similar to Creme Savers. If you're craving that nostalgic taste of Creme Savers hard candy, then try out Campino Yogurt Fruit Candies and place it in your candy dish. The reviews are positive and customers seem to be raving about them. Sure, you can just stick with the donut-hole shaped Life Savers, but when you're craving that creamy strawberry flavor, why not check out something that is strangely similar to the real thing.

ATN Corp., the leader in digital optics, is always coming out with new and innovative devices to help shooters, hunters, and others make the most of their time afield, at the range, and beyond. We got to speak with ATN's Steve Lemenov about three of their latest products, all designed to take advantage of smart HD optics, thermal technology, and night vision capabilities. For starters, the new ATN X-Sight LTV is a scaled down version of their flagship X-Sight 4K Pro digital scope. It's a day and night vision scope that uses a QHD+ sensor and has the ability to record HD video, all while using ultra low power consumption, enough to provide 10-plus hours of continuous use. Perhaps best of all, it allows users to achieve a one shot zero when sighting in their rifle. The Smart HD Thermal rifle scope is reasonably priced and can work in short or long range applications. Next, the TICO LT Thermal Clip-on sight is meant to be mounted to just about any riflescope and award the user thermal detection powered by ATN’s Obsidian LT core. It will allow anyone who's attached to their particular optics the ability to continue their shooting into the darkness of night. Finally, the OTS LT Thermal Monocular is a lightweight, easy to use device that has a wide range of uses. Law enforcement, search and rescue, game identification, and plenty of other activities are made far easier with the OTS LT. The battery life and smooth zoom add to the appeal. Together, these products represent the forefront of thermal imaging, and the cutting edge lineup offered by ATN Corp.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach is one of the best NFL players in franchise history, making six Pro Bowls, winning two Super Bowls and being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame across his 11-year football career. While he certainly became a superstar and an icon in Dallas football lore, his path to becoming a professional football player was far from standard. Roger Thomas Staubach was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and grew up in the suburb of Silverton where he attended Purcell High School. While he was a star talent in high school, football wasn't his only goal in life. He was committed to serving his country, and after graduating high school in 1990, he attended the New Mexico Military Institute for a year. Staubach then enrolled at the U.S. Naval Academy and would play quarterback for Navy's college football team, where he'd have an exceptional career for the Midshipmen. Staubach won the Heisman Trophy in 1963 after throwing seven touchdown passes and leading the team to a 9-2 record and an appearance in the Cotton Bowl against Texas. Roger Staubach was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 10th round of the 1964 NFL Draft as a future selection, one year before his college career ended. However, he wouldn't play for the franchise until 1969 as a 27-year-old rookie due to his four-year military commitment. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy, Staubach requested to serve his tour of duty for the U.S. Navy where he served as a Supply Corps officer in Vietnam, despite having had the option to serve in the United States. Staubach resigned his naval commission in 1969 in order to attend the Cowboys' offseason training camp and start his career in the National Football League. In 1971, Cowboys head coach Tom Landry inserted Roger Staubach as the starting quarterback in place of Craig Morton midway through the season. Captain Comeback would lead the team on a 10-game undefeated run which cultivated in a Super Bowl VI victory over the Miami Dolphins and saw Staubach win Super Bowl MVP. After a Pro Bowl season in 1975, Staubach and the Cowboys played in Super Bowl X against the Pittsburgh Steelers but lost 21-17 the game, during which Staubach threw three interceptions and was sacked seven times. The Steelers and Cowboys squared off again in the Super Bowl a few years later, but Dallas was once again thwarted. Staubach and the Cowboys had another successful campaign in 1977, cruising through the playoffs and winning Super Bowl XII against the Denver Broncos, the second ring of the quarterback's career. Staubach retired in 1979, after a career that saw him throw 153 touchdowns, 109 interceptions, and boast a career record of 85-29. He led the league in passer rating in four separate seasons and was named the NFL's Man of the Year in 1978. Roger Staubach has been married to his wife Marianne Staubach since 1965. The couple have five children together: Jeffery Roger, Michelle Elizabeth, Jennifer Anne, Stephanie Marie, and Amy Lynn. In 1977, just prior to his retirement, Staubach started a real estate firm, The Staubach Company, in partnership with an associate of Henry S. Miller. During his NFL career, Staubach began working as a part-time insurance broker for Miller as a backup plan to support his family in case of injury. The commercial real estate business became a massive success, and sold in 2008 for $613 million to Jones Lang LaSalle. Staubach remains involved with the business, as he now works as the executive chairman of Jones Lang LaSalle. The American quarterback is also involved in other ventures in his personal life, including Hall of Fame Racing -- a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team -- with fellow Cowboys legendary quarterback Troy Aikman. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Roger Staubach boasts an estimated net worth of $600 million through his playing career and business ventures in retirement, most notably the fortune he made via real estate. While having a legendary NFL career tends to make a person extremely wealthy, Captain America made the bulk of his fortune in retirement with his solid business ventures.
