CINCINNATI – With Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder and his longtime girlfriend, Claire Cornett, expecting their first child earlier this spring, Ridder found himself in the middle of a parental rite of passage.
A few months after helping push the Cincinnati into the midst of the College Football Playoff conversation, Ridder faced a different daunting task.
The couple set out to assemble their daughter’s crib, and they decided on building it in the living room because the baby’s room was cluttered. A few hours later, they prevailed through the maze of directions and parts, only to find out that the crib wouldn’t fit in the bedroom door.
