I liked Tim Fugger. 

 

I mean, imagine the announcer calls. Look at that fugger go. He is a fast fugger. Big fugger.   Etc. The whole Fugger family.

 

 

 

Not sure if this is a true story but in a Giants/Redskins game back in the day legendary stadium announcer Bob Sheppard called a tackle as:

Sandwiched! By Hanburger and Bacon.

 

FTR that was Redskins Chris Hanburger and Coy Bacon.

D'Brickashaw Ferguson

 

While the first name itself is not different from 1000s of others, the history is interesting. His mother was big fan of "The Thorn Birds" (the 1977 McCollough novel  and/or the 1983 TV miniseries) where the central character is named Ralph de Bricassart. Well, if you mash this up a bit "de Bricassart" becomes "D'Brickashaw".
