It may be a smidge juvenile, but I will NEVER fail to crack up when I check out a Sabres box score and notice that Satan scored a power-play goal.

How could I forget this name. Played on the same name as Stubby (yeah, does sound like a STD).
Scarborough Green
Saw him playing yesterday, for the Rangers, I think.
Played on the same team as…
(Note to self: Read preview.)
While Crumpler is a good name, I present thess Fightin’ Irish as best football names possible:
Michael Stonebreaker
Grant Irons
Arnaz Battle
Knute Rockne
Tony Driver
Tim Grunhard
Raghib Ishmael
Moose Krause
Bronko Nagurski
Bill Shakespeare
Worst:
Johnny “One Play” O’Brien
Corny Southall (not a nickname)
And oddly enough, there were two players named Norb Rascher. Yes, with a “B”.
How 'bout:
Harry Gant from NASCAR,
Garo Ypremian
Ty Law and Lawyer Milloy
Ara Parseghian (always sounded like a veal dish to me…)
Otis Nixon
Dick Butkus
Larry Csonka
Yes, I was going to mention Wonderful Terrific Monds, and current Nebraska I-Back Thunder Collins (it’s on his birth certificate). The strange thing is that neither of these guys is the first to have their name. Monds is the III and Collins is the II.
As for Major Applewhite, doesn’t that just scream southern white guy?
Zeke “Banananose” Bonura, ChiSox '34-'37, Senators '38 & '40, Giants '39, Cubs '40.

You forgot Hiawatha Francisco
Marion Butts
Jayhawk Owens, who was a catcher for the Colorado Rockies a few years ago.
Anyone remember I.M. Hipp, a Nebraska (Oklahoma?) tailback from the late 70’s/early 80’s?

Okay, good. See, I was just gonna ask if there was a football player with that last name. I thought maybe I had hallucinated it, or that it was a joke and his first name was Seymour.
Wasn’t there a group with the names Ham, Lamb and Jam at UT a few years ago? Some loser Longhorn tell me who I’m thinking about.
