This thread may die a quick death here on the R/T threads but I thought I'd give it a shot anyhow. Got a favorite NFL team? Mine's the San Diego Chargers. I predict here and now that 'Da Bolts' will win Super Bowl XLIV, Feb 07, 2010 in Miami. I must confess, I've been predicting the same thing for about 30 years straight, (OK except for when Ryan Leaf was QB) and I've never been right. I've gotten used to the taste of crow but, hope springs eternal.  I like SD's chances due to the return of LB Shawne Merriman, the signing of 1st round pick LB Larry English and 4th round pick DT tackle Vaughn Martin. Plus former all-pro CB Antonio Cromartie should return to his 2007 pro-bowl form playing without the broken hip that plagued him last year. The regular season starts in just 30 days on Sept 10!!! -- Edited by MateoDeSD at 08/10/2009 3:21 PM PDT

I was actually agreeing with you...they think they are being creative by giving their kids unique names, but think of the poor children growing up with those names. Think how cruel other children are to kids with regular names...then multiply it ten-fold

Hall of Fame semi list below...
Pick 15...then pick seven.
Actually with Rice and Smith pick three.
Cause the other two are off the Seniors list and dat be Larry Little late of the Shula Fish and Detroit Dick LeBeau.
Currently on the Steeler sideline but late of the Lions where he played opposite Hall of Famers Lem Barney, Yale Lary, and the great Night Train Lane.
Not only did The Night Train have perhaps the greatest nickname in sports but he was the most vicious tackler in the history of corner backs...how do ye think pampered millionaire whiny wideouts would like to try on a Night Train Necktie?
No for TO? Think not...
The Night Train was an abandoned orphan pulled from a garage can, fought in Korea, and tired of his exhausting job at an aircraft assembly line tried out as a walk on with the Rams...
Think Moss or Ocho Asshole want some of dat?
And he was so cool he married Dinah Washington...
I've been working on a night train / Drinking coffee, taking cocaine / I'm out here on a night train / Trying to get us safely home .
Anyway I digress...
Jerry Rice and Emmit Smith are locks...methinks LeBeau makes it, Little is a toss up but if ye swim from the seniors poll ye out to be in...
So pick three, or two, or one, or none...3 to 7 be the limits...

See? The father had a chance to stop the madness, but he whiffed! This is why we have middle names, people! Stick the ancestral homage between the first and last and no one will ridicule the youngster.

One of my nephews was named "Richard" (after his father). He was always "Ricky" to us growing up. When he graduated college, he wanted to be called "Dick".
"Dick" didn't "stick" for long. Now it's simply "Rick".

There is no reason on earth why anyone should name a male child Dick or Harry, or Marion.
