BRH Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Some guys just sounded like they were named to be football players. Dick Butkus. Ray Nitschke. And one of my favorites, Notre Dame's Mike Stonebreaker.
Like A Mofo Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Gotta like Sam Gash too...especially for a FB!!!
Alaska Darin Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 What a small comment. 141436[/snapback] I actually had to think about that one for a second. Nice.
Mark VI Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 I remeber this guy didn't last in the NFL long but was a very good QB at the Univ. of Washington in the early 70's... Sonny Sixkiller
AiO Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Randy Vataha. Don't know why, but the name just cracked me up.
BRH Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Surprised no one's yet brought up Antwaan Randle El.
Ned Flanders Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Browns/Saints WR in the early '70s: Jubilee Dunbar Jets punt returner late '60s, early '70s: Mike Battle Hate to say it, but another Jet from the same era: Chris Farasopoulos
BRH Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Hate to say it, but another Jet from the same era: Chris Farasopoulos 141525[/snapback] Another Jet from a later era: Nuu Faola.
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I always liked Eric "Sleeping with" Bienemy. A classic Chris Berman name.
BRH Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Then there's the category of players whose real name AND nickname always had to be uttered together, like: Sam "Bam" Cunningham Al "Bubba" Baker "Friggin" Lonnie Johnson
buckeyebrian Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I remeber this guy didn't last in the NFL long but was a very good QB at the Univ. of Washington in the early 70's... Sonny Sixkiller 141492[/snapback] And, played "Indian" in "The Longest Yard"
Guest Guest_Ennjay_* Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Um. actually, if you never forgot his name you would know it was Wolfgang Felgemacher. But you get full credit for remembering the guy anyway.
