Ryan Clark is one of the top analysts in the world, and he was one of the best players in the NFL. His career lasted 13 seasons, split between three teams, and we would win football’s ultimate prize, the Lombardi Trophy.
Since his days as a star safety in the NFL, the 45-year-old has taken his talents to the media and is now a respected member of ESPN’s broadcast team. However, he doesn’t just keep his talents for the TV screen, as the former safety does do outside interviews.
Back in 2004, the former Pittsburgh Steeler, New York Giant, and Washington Redskin, got married to his now-wife, Yonka Clark. On a recent YouTube podcast called We Playin’ Spades, Yonka was referenced in an unexpected spill of information.
Clark appeared on the show with Channing Crowder, who also played in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins, and the two ended up revealing their wives made them get vasectomies. They were not all shy about the ordeal.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s safer for him to get clipped than her to get her tubes tied,” said another user.
There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s safer for him to get clipped than her to get her tubes tied and it’s her choice to say she can’t have anymore children. Anyone disagreeing with them is ignorant

“But seriously, the best decision I’ve made,” said another.
Dead ass I’m with Channing. They took good care of me at my vasectomy.

But seriously, the best decision I’ve made
While not all the comments were positive towards the former NFL safety, it’s clear that he was trying to send a message to someone else at the table. Nick Cannon isn’t done, and who knows if he’ll ever be, but we do know that both Clark and Crowder are.
