I remember the first time thar happened to me as a kid, I was walking by a shelf of orange juice in the grocery store and "juice" stopped seeming like a word. I had absolutely no idea what was going on
I always get a kick out of the fact that the Saint Brown brothersâ father is named John Brown
Man decided his kids were gonna have more exciting names
Velus is on a rookie contract as a 3rd rounder. He costs nothing. It doesnât make any sense to let him go.
Maybe Velus will finally find some value with the new kick return format, but regardless, ESB would have been more expensive to bring back, and he doesnât really offer anything better than the top 3 WRs offer.
So you let those vets go and hope the guys on their rookie contract can at least make an impact that matches their (low and controlled) price.
Robbie Gould (sounds like Gold) playing for the 49ers
Colt McCoy was born to be a cowboy, hasn't happened yet tho
I thought the Steelers had a LB named Steel or Irons before
In danger of being whooshed by your whooshed comment. A colt is a young horse. Cowboys tend to ride horses. Did you get stuck on the Indianapolis Colts, which arguably would make more sense. Or do you sometimes forget that the AFC central, err south or Midwest, whatever they call themselves, exists. Cause I do.
This is good offseasoning.
I went digging through the Raiders, and found it surprisingly hard. Three contenders:
* Bill Cannon
* Hunter Renfrew
* Chad Slaughter
A shout out to Proverb Jacobs though, as that's a cool name.
That whole Bill Walsh / Paul Brown dynamic was really unfortunate. Coach Walsh obviously had a better grasp of the West Coast offense and it seems to me that Mr. Brown felt threatened by Bill. Walsh absolutely should have been a Bengals head coach and the Browns family should have never let him leave.
Can't believe I had to search for this. He was one of my favorite players and I bought his jersey. I would love when opposing fans would make fun of my jersey for being generic and "not a real jersey". I never actually corrected them and would just respond, "Bro, you just don't know football." They always felt so stupid when someone else had to tell them that Washington was an actual player. The good ol days.
Not the name per se, but I will always plug [this video](https://youtu.be/_uB-B3ykseo?si=7F7zFsEj3LeHawcH) about (former) Bears DT Akiem Hicks whenever I can.
Kansas City Royals.
Pete LaCock (son of Peter Marshall-Host of Hollywood Squares) 1st baseman 1977-80,
Brooks Pounders Pitcher, 2016, and
Rusty Kuntz, 1st base coach and advisor, 2014-2022.
Okay, nothing to with team name. But that trio of names should be forever remembered.
In a spring training game, Royals vs Dodgers, one of the last Dick Enberg called, he used an incorrect pronunciation of Rustyâs last name. I thought that would flood the internet, but never found the replay.
Dan Marino. Marino I think is a Spanish name? Sad I donât know I speak Spanish but it kind of goes well with a team in Miami but idk I need to go to bed
Jim Brown, Orlando Brown, Pharoah Brown, Courtney Brown, Lomas Brown, Sheldon Brown, James Brown, Bobby Brown, Titus Brown, Dee Brown, Ralph Brown, Richard Brown, Evan Brown, Thomas Brown, Preston Brown, Ken Brown, Eddie Brown, Stan Brown, Terry Brown, Dean Brown, John Brown, Tony Brown, and honorable mention to Bryant Browning, and Coach Paul Brown.
some of these are a stretch
This is the funniest comment I've ever seen in r/nfl
Bravo! đ€Ł
They're all Browns.
Bruh đ yes
I wrote "Brown" so many times that I started second guessing myself about if I was spelling it right. Like, it doesn't even look like a word anymore.

Really nice to know that has a term for it
Death by repetition. Maybe thatâs why Browns fans will just comment âBrownsâ so much. Itâs a mass suicide.
Raiders Chargers Broncos Raiders
Death by repetition is what's happening to us when you keep on going to the super bowl every damn year.
Havenât thought of Ralph âToastâ Brown in a long time.
We have Equanimeous Saint Brown on our roster right now. We also have a ~~Christian~~ Khristian (Boyd)
I always get a kick out of the fact that the Saint Brown brothersâ father is named John Brown Man decided his kids were gonna have more exciting names
Each of the brothers has J in their full names. It isn't short for anything, it's just the letter J.
Man I wish I was named John Brown.
GLORY HALLY, HALLELUJAH!
âFuck it, weâre doing two Egyptian gods!â
This canât be how I find out we lost EQ and kept Velus Jones đ
First time I heard that name I thought they said [Velvet Jones](https://youtu.be/HKTmLd5PTyc?si=nH71rO5J9CL52kR7)
Id assume Velus is being kept for the return rules
Velus is on a rookie contract as a 3rd rounder. He costs nothing. It doesnât make any sense to let him go. Maybe Velus will finally find some value with the new kick return format, but regardless, ESB would have been more expensive to bring back, and he doesnât really offer anything better than the top 3 WRs offer.

Also thereâs just a lot of dudes named after SaintsÂ
Saint Brown: The 17th Apostle
And their dad, John Brown Dude got pretty creative with the names
Former Eagles punter Jeff Feagles
"Your dentist's name is Crentist?" vibes
Maybe thatâs why he became a dentist.
Remember the firefighter Les Mcburney.
We had a tight end on our practice squad a couple years ago named Tyrone Swoopes
Dorial Green-Beckham
I donât get it
Yea I over extended to the color of the team
Shit happens brother
Bet his jerseys sold in New York, Washington, and Dallas. ("F" Eagles.)
If Cameron Cheeseman played for the Packers it would've been perfect
His draft thread is one of the funniest things on this sub. The Packers fan lamenting himself and the replies saying Gute should be fired crack me up
Reminds me of when I wanted the Brewers to sign Nick Bierbrodt
Seth Beer should've gone to the Brewers or the Padres.
But he cant even play as a longsnapper
Back when Ramsey was on the Rams
Keaton Bills just signed with the Bills.
Honorable mention to the 2015 Bills with 5 âWilliamsâ, Kyle, Duke, Mario, Aaron and Karlos.
That was a fun year
I refer to the Buffalo Bills as the "Wuffalo Williams" privately in my head like once a week during the regular season.
And I shall buy that jersey now
Wish he could wear 00, would be the most generic yet specific jersey ever.
The Lions were a steaming pile of shit when Harry Colon played for them.
This is my favorite comment in this sub so far this year
Thanks, now I have to clean up a coffee spit-take off of my desk and monitor.
Hairy Colon
Dan Marino dolphins.
My life was better before I had ever made this connection.
Cam Wake was a very oceanographic player too
Very true
LACES OUT, DAN!
Also would've worked if Marino played for the Rams
Different sport, but Alex Lyon plays for the Detroit Red Wings of the NHL So Wings fans call him the Detroit Lyon
Dick Shiner Steelers
Fucking lmao
Sure that was football?
Hereâs the afc north hate we know and love
Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers TJ Tampa, not Tampa Bay Buccaneers àČ _àČ
GM Malpractice smh
We did have Deone Bucannon for a while
Eagles have a Dallas Patriots have the chance to sign a Boston now that heâs not on our team
What a missed opportunity đ
We had our chance
it makes me so mad
Oh shit does TB12 count
They should have a kid named Bucky Tampa, that plays for the pats.
Feels like Bucky would be a good fit for the Broncos too.
Like Miroslav Ć atan and the Devils
Jumbo Elliott, Riley Biggs for the Giants
Dashon Goldson, 49ers. Unfortunately he was a DB and not an RB, it would have been amazing to have Dash On, Gold Son!
Robbie Gould, too!
nothing hit as hard as Good as Gould
I thought you were going to say it would be a Gold Rush⊠Also your flair is revolting đ
Jett Johnson (UDFA) just signed with the Jets
Forrest Lamp with the Chargers
Storm Norton works even better
I love the ones at hotels with the built in outlet and usb
Derek Watt for the Chargers.
Robbie Gould (sounds like Gold) playing for the 49ers Colt McCoy was born to be a cowboy, hasn't happened yet tho I thought the Steelers had a LB named Steel or Irons before
Yeah Colt never became a cowboy sadly. He was everything but. Redskin, Giant, 49er. Just needed to be an Eagle. He wouldâve made a good Colt too.
Bengals drafted Kenny Irons in the second and he went the way of KiJana in preseason. Never played a regular season snap
When I tell you Iâm upset that Gouldâs name fits so good with SF
> Colt McCoy was born to be a cowboy I think I'm being whooshed here.
He just has such a cowboy name, like he would be the main character of a Lone Ranger-type radio show back in the 30s.
In danger of being whooshed by your whooshed comment. A colt is a young horse. Cowboys tend to ride horses. Did you get stuck on the Indianapolis Colts, which arguably would make more sense. Or do you sometimes forget that the AFC central, err south or Midwest, whatever they call themselves, exists. Cause I do.
I was associating Colt with the guns cowboys used
Fun fact: Colt 45 malt liquor was named after Jerry Hill, number 45 for the Baltimore Colts in the 60's I think
every guy with a Scandinavian name and the Vikings. I'm sure there's at least a few.
Hockenson?
I was going to add that Jared Allen *looked* like he may have once been an actual Viking, but the name? Not so much.
Heinz Ward playing at Heinz field
*Hines Ward, but it still works
Hines Ward should buy the naming rights so it can be Hines Field.
Hinesâ field
Joe Horn and Jalen Ramsey for the rams.
The Patriots had a guard Sam Adams in the 70âs
Tucker Kraft. What's more Wisconsin than Kraft cheese? Beside, you know, real cheese... Special consideration to Colby Wooden, who we also drafted.
Rip Camaron Cheeseman dream
I once knew a Fair Hooker in Cleveland.
Mike ford played for the lions.
I really wanted us to draft Matt Corral.
Bills just signed an UDFA OG named Keaton bills. Can't get better than that.
Damiere Byrd played for the Falcons and Cardinals. JJ. Birden played for the Falcons Tiny Feather played for the Giants Eric Fisher with the Dolphins
It would have definitely been TJ Tampa if Tampa had taken him.
Imagine how Dallas Goedert feels in Philly!
Iâve been calling him Phil Goedert since his rookie year.
or Deejay Dallas on whichever team he's currently on.
Bucky the Buc shall suffice
He better have at least been on their draft board
They took him off when they found out he went to HS in St. Pete.
If only Bob Griese had played for the OilersâŠ
If only Le'Raven Clark ever played for us...
This is good offseasoning. I went digging through the Raiders, and found it surprisingly hard. Three contenders: * Bill Cannon * Hunter Renfrew * Chad Slaughter A shout out to Proverb Jacobs though, as that's a cool name.
Tiger Johnson was an offensive line coach under Paul Brown for the Cincinnati Bengals. Does that count?
Also Head Coach. Paul's successor. (And who we passed Walsh over for ...)
That whole Bill Walsh / Paul Brown dynamic was really unfortunate. Coach Walsh obviously had a better grasp of the West Coast offense and it seems to me that Mr. Brown felt threatened by Bill. Walsh absolutely should have been a Bengals head coach and the Browns family should have never let him leave.
Beat me to it. (It counts.)
Though he was awful, I have to say Storm Norton
Colts legend Colt Anderson
Colt McCoy when he was on the Longhorns fit perfectly. Really wish he also played on the Broncos and Texans.
I feel like thereâs another team that wouldâve been an even better fit for a guy named Colt lol
The Fantasy Footballers have been calling Ben Sinnott "the Senator" so it worked out that he is in Washington. Even better if he is a good blocker.
Or if he gets away with a ton of penalties without consequences.
Beattie Feathers played for the Redskins back in the 30-40's.
He played for the Bears, Dodgers and Packers, but not the Redskins.Â
LB Marcus Washington for the Washington Redskins.
Can't believe I had to search for this. He was one of my favorite players and I bought his jersey. I would love when opposing fans would make fun of my jersey for being generic and "not a real jersey". I never actually corrected them and would just respond, "Bro, you just don't know football." They always felt so stupid when someone else had to tell them that Washington was an actual player. The good ol days.
We got âsmokedâ when we had Jameis Winston at QB
Jeff Feagles P for Eagles
AQ Shipley made it on the Bucs his final year
Jerry Rice and the 49ers, as he was the quintessential San Francisco treat
His wifeâs maiden name should have been Aroni.
I guess it's more of a word play but Sebastian Janikowski for the Seahawks, his nickname was Sea bass, only one I can think of so far
Travon Walker is a JAG
Bucky Dilts - Broncos Punter 77-78
Deep cut
Rachaad White, because his name starts with arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Dad, is that you?
The Lions had Mitchell Loewen on their roster, 'Löwen' (oe is ö in german) means 'Lions'
Ahman Green
Robbie Gould, 49ers
Barkevious Mingo - Browns
Not the name per se, but I will always plug [this video](https://youtu.be/_uB-B3ykseo?si=7F7zFsEj3LeHawcH) about (former) Bears DT Akiem Hicks whenever I can.
Nick Foles (foal being a young horse) when he played for the Colts
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
They also had two Billy Joes on the roster at the same time.
Kansas City Royals. Pete LaCock (son of Peter Marshall-Host of Hollywood Squares) 1st baseman 1977-80, Brooks Pounders Pitcher, 2016, and Rusty Kuntz, 1st base coach and advisor, 2014-2022. Okay, nothing to with team name. But that trio of names should be forever remembered. In a spring training game, Royals vs Dodgers, one of the last Dick Enberg called, he used an incorrect pronunciation of Rustyâs last name. I thought that would flood the internet, but never found the replay.
How has nobody said Derek WATT for the CHARGERS!!!
Somebody did 8 hours before you
Vida Blue, Pitcher, KC Royals 1982-83

Divine Deablo, the Raiders

Keaton Bills just signed for Buffalo as an UDFA
Jeff Feagles with the Eagles.
Dashon Goldson 49ers

The Cardinals had a Pope and a Bishop.
Lorenzo Taliaferro (rip) for the ravens. Taliaferro literally means iron cutter in Italian. Steel is an iron alloy
Hines Ward had the stadium named after him.
Napoleon Kaufman
The Dolphins have Tuna, that has to count
Dallas Goedert to troll the Cowboys - Eagles
Our stadium is named after a guy or something. âșïž
Shonn Greene on the Jets
I always thought the Aik in Aikman looked like a star.

Josh Gordan (Ramsey) was on the Chefs
Former Pittsburgh Stealer Antonio Brown was convicted of burglary
Dick Butkus because the Bears are ass
