Best football Names?

[Freethinker]

Brock Forsey sounds like a tough SOB. Also, aforementioned Colt McCoy is almost too perfect.

As for funniest/dumbest: perennial practice squad scrub RB for the NY Jets, Little John Flowers, who should not be confused with this guy or this guy

 

[P-NutLane]

Joe Montana aint too bad

Eagles' TE L.J. Smith is also Little John Smith. Weird.

Looks like i have started quite a popular forum

. I agree that a lot of the Polish or eastern european last names fit good as they are pronounced with more empahsis.


Brady POPpinga of the packers has a pretty cool last name.

Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada.

Gotta go with colt mccoy too really.

Carlester Crumpler (Alge's older brother)


Fair Hooker (WR for Cleveland in the early '70s)


For baseball, have to go with Coco Crisp.

I liked the names Butch Woolfolk and Harlen Huckleby, RB's for Michigan a while back. Also Joe Don Looney is a good one. The classic name is Dick Butkis, wow he must have had it rough as a kid, no wonder he was so tough. Dick, butt and kiss all in one name.

Billy Cannon. Was just reading about him today. He's finally going into the College Football Hall of Fame after getting his life back together.

i always liked the name Bryce Paup.

helluva name for a defensive player, and he was quite a gifted player as well. i remember the linebacker/defensive end as a Buffalo Bill and he was Defensive POY one year, as well as a 4-time Pro Bowler.
