Who is Rich Eisen’s wife, Suzy Shuster?
According to reports, Rich Eisen’s wife, Suzy Shuster, is a former sports reporter. She attended Columbia University, from which she graduated with a degree in art and history back in 1994. Some time after graduating, Suzy began her career in the media when she worked at Fox Sports Net in Los Angeles.

Suzy Shuster’s first major role as a sports journalist when she went on to work as a producer on ESPN’s SportCenter. Interestingly, this was just a year after her husband, Rich, began working at the network. Adding to her outstanding career portfolio, Suzy also produced HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.
It was while both Suzy and Rich worked at ESPN that they first crossed paths. During a 2004 interview, she revealed that Rich came over to her desk on her first day at the job. She recalled:
“It was my first day at ESPN. He came by my desk to say hello. Of course, I knew who he was. He was so sweet, so nice.”
Suzy and Rich did not begin dating immediately and were best friends for three years, according to the former. She claimed that it took a long time for her to smarten up and quit dating jerks. However, her relationship with Rich took a romantic turn when he asked her to accompany him to the ESPY Awards as his date back in February 2000.
Later, they tied the knot in 2003 at the Boat House in Central Park. Suzy and Rich welcomed three kids together, Xander, Taylor, and Cooper, over the years of their marriage. A fun fact about Suzy is that she is really fascinated with African tribal art. She also made it a point to include a variety of African art and trinkets when decorating her and Rich’s home.
What did Rich Eisen say about games calling for the future?
There had been a lot of speculation as to whether Rich Eisen was planning to continue calling games. This was especially the case after ESPN took over production decisions of the NFL Network booth after it acquired NFL Media. Well, Rich did not hesitate to answer it during his appearance on Jimmy Traina’s SI Media podcast. He said:
“I believe I am. Yes, I am. I enjoyed doing it a lot, man. I enjoyed doing it a lot. But it’s so counter to what I normally do. Sitting in this chair on this set, three-hour radio TV simulcast game day morning on Sunday morning, if there’s dead air, if there’s blank space, if there’s no talking, my first thought is to jump in and fill the void. It’s the exact opposite when you’re calling a game. Your job is to shut the f up after the big moment happens.”
