Verne loves college football. His favorite team is the Michigan Wolverines. He says his second favorite team is "whoever's playing Notre Dame."

Announced engagement to his yoga instructor/girlfriend, Genevieve Gallen, and plans to wed in November 2003. In August of 2003, Verne denied the earlier reports that he and girlfriend Genevieve Gallen were to be married. His reps said that he had never even asked her. They wed in January of 2004, but were in the process of a divorce as of fall 2006.

Is best friends with Phil Fondacaro, who is married to his agent, Elena Bertagnolli of Fonolli Management.

Threw out the first ball at the San Diego Padre vs. Los Angeles Dodger game on June 30, 1999. It wasn't from the mound, of course.

Verne has to do all of his own stunts because there isn't anyone small enough to fill in!

Verne loves to play video games in his spare time.

Vern and his date were voted king and queen at their high school prom.
