Which got me to thinking. What are some of the best examples of wives who are better than their husbands at sports?
The Alpha: Candace Parker (WNBA)
The Loser: Shelden Williams (NBA Scrub)
Candace's awards on her wikipedia are unreal, but here's some of the big ones. WNBA MVP, 2 time Olympic gold medalist, WNBA Rookie of the Year, NCAA Champion, All-WNBA first teamer.
Here's Shelden's.. He's allowed to still play in the NBA.
The Alpha: Sanya Richards (Olympic Track and Field)
The Loser: Aaron Ross (Worst Giants Cornerback Ever)
Aaron started off good. He won a National Championship at Texas and was a first round pick with the Giants.
I remember the day he was drafted. Mel Kiper said Aaron ran a 4.40 40 yard dash, which is typically amazing, until Kiper's next comment was, "which is good unless you're fiancee can probably beat it".
Aaron won a couple Super Bowls, but I'd say 2 Olympic Gold medals and 6 other golds from World Championships beats two minimal contributions to Super Bowl Champions and having to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars this season. While Aaron's busy with that, Sanya is off to London to defend her 400 meter gold.
The Alpha: Misty May
The Loser: Matt Treanor
This one is pretty easy. Matt Treanor is a journeyman back up catcher who has played for 7 Major League teams and is a career .225 hitter.
Misty May is a 2 time Olympic Gold Medalist as well as World Champion another 3 times. Her volleyball partner Kerri Walsh has made the duo the most decorated beach volleyballers in the history of the sport.
The Alpha: Jennie Finch
The Loser: Casey Daigle
They have two kids named Ace and Diesel; they're guaranteed future Major Leaguers right?
Jenny Finch is the perfect woman to breed with if you want professional athlete children, period.
Unfortunately for Casey, his wife is a WAY better pitcher than he ever was. Casey is a career minor leaguer who has made 10 major league appearances, which were almost seven years ago.
Jenny is an Olympic gold medalist, World Champion, three time Collegiate All American and NCAA Champion.
She didn't lose a game in college until her Senior year and she's struck out Albert Pujols, Mike Piazza, Brian Giles and Paul Lo Duca.
Casey Daigle hasn't.
