Yeah, he talked about his two daughters during his preseason interviews
Ahhh, I didn’t watch any of the preseason stuff. I don’t recall him mentioning it on the actual show, but he definitely did in his Ponderosa video. I guess I just didn’t expect that at all.
Yup! As far as I know he has 2 daughters.
