The Gipper Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 This thread is for listing football players whose names seem extremely apt to the game. Here is one that I came across who, while the statistic that bears his name was not around in his time, is a great name nevertheless: Jack Sack. (Columbus Panhandles, Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Panthers) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Sack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Of course there are others: Dick Butkus. Taz Knockum Brit Barefoot......yes, he was a kicker for Ga. Tech. Darius Passmore.......(but he was not a QB...a WR.....so he should be Darious Passmoretome. Bronko Nagurski.....because it just sounds tough. Sonny Sixkiller.....big name QB with Washington in the 70s...never played NFL...but did play WFL. And our old friend Tank Carder (I believe Tank was his real name...not a nickname...not sure) Colt McCoy is a pretty cool football name. Of course he should end up playing in Indy eventually.

gumby73 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I remember having to read a book report on Johnny U back in school. I loosened up the crowd with saying "Buzz Nutter was Johnny U's Center"..Still as a kid, i wanted a Chris Hamburger jersey cus that's what Madden & Scully called him on tv, so i thought. till my football coach wore a HaNburger jersey... Browns? Anybody remember our Guard Pork Chop Womack..I read a book his first name was Floyd...Webster Slaughter best WR name of all time...

Canton Dawg Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Let’s not forget, on this day in 2002 we lost Dick “Night Train” Lane.

hoorta Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 OK, although these aren't "football" names I give you these. Working in an inner city hospital for years, the Hematology Supervisor kept a list of weird names of anyone who came through the door. And almost everyone walking in got a test that went through that lab... So here's the most memorable, and I'm not kidding... General Grant, Admiral Forster, Sergeant Sergeant. (our entire military) .... Dang- we do have the NFL guy Captain Munnerlyn for real., now that my memory is jogged... Harold Harold, Shade Bush, Perfect Champagne (and she named her kid Dom Perignon).

Buck The Frowns Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I always thought Barkevious Mingo had the perfect name for the Dog Pound to love. I tried to start the rumor that he had a brother Nefarious and a sister Lascivious but it unfortunately didn’t catch on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phineas Nigellus Black – late great-great-grandfather of Sirius Black, a former headmaster of Hogwarts whose painting hangs in the office and helps out the current headmaster. Sirius Black – Harry Potter's godfather, a member of the Order of the Phoenix and prisoner on the run. Dedalus Diggle – member of the Order of the Phoenix who took the Dursleys into hiding. Filius Flitwick – Charms professor at Hogwarts and Head of Ravenclaw. Silvanus Kettleburn - Care of Magical Creature teacher until Harry's third year. Rodolphus Lestrange – Death Eater, brother of Rabastan Lestrange, husband of Bellatrix Lestrange. Xenophilius Lovegood – Father of Luna Lovegood, and editor of The Quibbler. Ignotus Peverell – Original owner of The Invisibility Cloak in The Tale of the Three Brothers. Quirinus Quirrell – Defence Against the Dark Arts professor in Harry's first year, possessed by Lord Voldemort, and was killed in Philosopher's Stone. They fit right in.
