Dad Athletes With Enough Kids to Start Their Own Teams (PHOTOS)

Matt Birk familyMatt Birk's familyHappy Father's Day everyone! I hope every dad gets the chance to sit back and relax with a cold one -- even super-famous athlete dads, whose energy levels to be both a father and a professional sports star are something to be envied. Especially guys with four-plus kids running around!

And boy, quite a few professional athletes really know how to procreate. Granted, some, such as Antonio Cromartie (who has seven children with multiple women) and Larry Johnson (who has five children with four different women), probably do not represent an idyllic pillar of fatherhood. But there are others who are fantastic dads, so I'm going to keep this list to guys who've had (or are expecting) four or more kids with the same woman. Yes, believe it or not, they're out there!

Check out our list of professional athlete fathers who have enough kids to start their own teams someday!

Who's your favorite pro or retired athlete dad?

    Chris Spielman has 4 children with his late wife Stephanie. He is a former nfl player for the browns and he gave up his career to help his wife through breast cancer which she eventually lost the fight to. They started a breast cancer foundation which has raised millions of dollars. I think he is very worthy of this list.

    Well, I guess I won't be finding out who these dads are since I refuse to click through your horrible slideshows!

    What about Kurt Warner? I'm pretty sure he and his wife have nine kids. And he's a great athlete as well as easy on the eyes ;)
