Personal
Riggins has been married twice and has six children. He now resides in Cabin John, Maryland near the Potomac River.
It was at the 1985 National Press Club's Salute to Congress at 529 14th Street NW in Washington D.C. that Riggins drunkenly told Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor to "loosen up" because she was "too tight" when the two met at dinner. Riggins then fell asleep under the table. The incident created a national stir. The next time Ms O'Connor and John Riggins met at a function years later, she gave him a dozen roses.
