rai Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) sorry not exactly fantasy football related. But looking at my draft I see some players I know just by their first names, some you can say even out of context to football and people would know who you were talking about. First who I mean would not own their name is someone like Jerry Rice. I mean we have Jerry Jones for another so you can't say 'how about Jerry, isn't he something?' and people would not know what you were taking about. Of even Lawrance (Taylor) anymore since there is Lawrence Tynes or Maroney. Same with DeAngelo or Adrian (could be either one) Too bad with Peyton (since that darn Peyton Hillis came along). you can't say "I got Chris" you still have to say "I got Chris Johnson" On the Other hand if you say "I got Cedric" at least in the context of fantay football we all know who. probably the best would be guys with weird names like: Knowshon Braylon LeSean Jerricho Laurent Jerious Mercedes (and Cadilliac) those are not bad. Who else has memorable first names? I wan tto say Andre Johnson (but not sure, I know there was Andre Dawson in baseball). Pierre that's a good one and Visanthe (are you kidding me?)

rai Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) could be active or old players. It used to be Troy was Aikman but now we all think Polamaua I used to think Deion (Sanders) but now there is Branch. I don't think we'll see another Ochocinco but that's made up so it doesn't count.

I'm pretty sure if someone says the name "Deion" to me, I'm not thinking of the WR in Seattle. He's still in Seattle, right? What about "Joe"? nevermind...forgot about Namath. How 'bout Edward "Red" Grange? When someone says Red, he's the only guy I think of. Edited September 2, 2010 by buddahj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rai Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 I thought that was a joke about Joe there are three SB winning QBs named Joe and currently Joe Thomas who was runner up rookie of the year to AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rai Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) OT but I like it when there are two players with the same name like Adrian Peterson or Zach Miller so you can say, no not the good one, the other one. Especially when they play the same position. Edited September 2, 2010 by rai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rai Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Deshon ? not to say he owns that if I never heard of him it's fairly hard to own a name. Now Keyshawn that's a different matter. (am I starting to see a trend with some of these names?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rai Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Drew? Really? Wasn't there another QB that played a bit that had a name of Drew? Used to play in NE (and Dallas) and Buff had only about 44 thousand yards passing ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Fan Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 It's also worth noting which guys fit this list just because they have goofy, made-up names (Knowshon) or guys with relatively normal names who are on the list because of being great.
