Igor Olshansky brings a little international flavor

Igor Olshansky, boy I bet I will spend three hours a day trying to learn how to spell that, signed a four-year deal worth $18 million with $8 million guaranteed.
I ask one of the desk guys, D. Kim, what nationality is Olshansky from?
Well Igor is first player from the former Soviet Union to be drafted and play in the NFL. He was born in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine and his family immigrated to the states when he was seven.
Wonder if we can take a trip over there to talk to some relatives for a profile?
Here's something interesting. Igor met his wife, Liya in junior high.
Would you ever believe you met your soul mate in junior high?
Now that's love.
