Stu’s Hunt Down: Kailee Wong

Hat tip to Fasolamatt for the suggestion.
The Huntdown
Name: Kailee Wong
Claim to Fame, Minnesota: was a linebacker for the Purple from 1998-2001, meaning he’s one of the lucky few to have been on the losing end of both the Worst Game Ever and 41-Donut.
Claim to Fame, Everywhere Else: the Wiki says Wong was an All-American at Stanford, and he spent the rest of his NFL days with the Houston Texans before retiring in 2006.
Where He Is Now: still in the Houston area, he looks to be following the tried-and-true path of many retired athletes into the sports commentary business, whether its demonstrating zone blocking schemes or working the Lamar/Kingwood playoff game.
Glorious Randomness: the fact that his Mom wrote a book about how to watch football is only the second-most random thing about Wong. The most random thing, as you can imagine, is that he’s Albert Clifford Slater’s brother-in-law. He even shows up for his book signings. I’ll have you know that when I show up for a Mario Lopez autograph session, it has nothing to do with familial obligations and everything to do with a deep, abiding respect for his body of work.

Kailee Wong will forever be linked to Dat Nguyen. Those two broke down barriers.
Wiki says Wong
That sounds like it would be the name of a terrible mid-80s synthpop group from Australia or something.
