This Week In Unfortunate Names

Inky was flipping around the channels today and all of the sudden she demanded that I come see what she had found. There, paused on our screen thanks to the magic of Tivo, was a high school cheerleader named: Morgan Beavers. Ouch. We didn't watch to see if she and her squad won, but sufficed to say she is already the winner of a number of nicknames in her school. Maybe she'll change her name to Morgan Arcadia.

Moving on in our tour of unfortunate names in sports this week we have Randall Gay, who just got 17.8 Million bucks from his hometown team: the Saints. The headline in the New Orleans Times Picayune read "Saints Agree With Gay." I'm glad to see they are so forward thinking.

The last stop takes us to sunny Florida and to the man behind this headline: "Seminoles Fagg Has Successful Surgery on Knee." That would be FSU senior wide receiver, De'Cody Fagg. I'll leave all the tight end/receiver jokes in your hands, but I will say this: How great would it be if the Falcons drafted Fagg, so we could get to hear these calls twice a year:

"Fagg tried to get deep, but Gay shut him down"

"Gay really put it on Fagg when he tried to come over the middle"

"Fagg tried to push inside, but Gay stopped him"

"Gay just dropped to his knees and sucked Fagg's penis"

You know, something plausible and classy.
