If you play football and you have the nickname "Boomer," it probably means you hurt people really badly. No one ever says, "that's my friend Boomer. He's very gentle." It's usually more like, "that's Boomer. Don't look him in the eye or he might break your neck." Luckily, Boomer Esiason is not a monster off the field. In fact, he's an excellent color commentator for the sport.
Sydney Esiason is Boomer's beautiful daughter. Seriously, she's a ten out of ten knockout. A girl like that could have any guy she wants, so that's what she did. She married a Canadian hockey player by the name of Matt Martin, which she was nervous to tell her father about since he plays in a different sport. Luckily it all turned out well. If things end up falling apart though, I'll take my shot.
