Our local sports writers have been following this player quite closely, waiting for an announcement of where he would sign, so we've gotten kind of used to the "unusual-ness" of his name.
Yeah, the DC.com guys have been twittering (not the site) each time they mention him. Seriously, they giggle like schoolgirls; that's the reason I posted this.
One wag even brought up the "Old Man" - forget what the joke was supposed to be, but it didn't work.
To be honest, the signing is a bit of a puzzle; they have the best tight end combination (Whitten, definitely one of the best and two others that could start for just about any other team) Maybe they're going to keep 4 TEs this season, drop the fullback (who has been in some legal trouble) and go with an H-back set.
I dunno...I'm not very good even w/ Madden, so....
Heck, his name IS unusual. Wonder what it's derived from, wonder if that's the original spelling?
Anyway, it was a tossup between this story or the one about the Dolphins personnel guy asking Dez Bryant if his mother was a prostitute.
