ESPN commentator once destroyed Washington Football Team owner Dan Snyder in racquetball and won a day with his Aston Martin

• Before working at ESPN, commentator Louis Riddick worked for the Washington Football Team.
• Riddick once won a day with team owner Dan Snyder's Aston Martin in a game of racquetball.
• Riddick says he shut out Snyder 11-0 en route to taking his keys.

ESPN commentator Louis Riddick has lived quite a full football life.

After playing his college ball at Pittsburgh, Riddick was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in 1991 and spent the next seven years bouncing around the league. Once he had retired as a player, Riddick went into scouting, eventually working his way up to Director of pro personnel for Washington.

As he told Pablo Torre on the "ESPN Daily" podcast, one day during his time in Washington, Riddick won a bold bet made by team owner Dan Snyder.

According to Riddick, he and Snyder would regularly play racquetball together, with the former pro athlete besting the team owner with relative ease. One day, Snyder made what proved to be an unwise wager.

"He had just bought the new V12 Vanquish Aston Martin. Brand new," Riddick said. "He said, 'If you can shut me out, I'll let you take that home.' And I was like, deal!"

"I went down there to the racquetball courts. I was like, bam, bam, bam, bam. 11-nothing, boom. Just like that," Riddick said. "And he was pissed."

Two weeks later, Riddick was called into Snyder's office, where the owner was sitting with his driver.

"He points at his keys, and he picks them up, and he throws them at me," Riddick said. "And he goes, 'If you scratch it, I will be commandeering your salary forever.'"

The chances are that was the last time Riddick and Snyder bet on a game of racquetball.
