The NEW names thread (again)

[Chubby]

I can't think of any I like but my LEAST favorite is Dean Houston http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

[Bad-example]

Haha welcome all to the new Thread That Won't Die!

Early in my baseball Mogul days I had a lefty first baseman that hit over 700 homeruns and was a fixture for my team for over a decade. Never will forget that name.

[Ben E Lou]

If we're talking Mogul players, the greatest of all-time was a pitcher I had in the original Mogul. He won 550+ games and helped pitch my team to 17 World Championships during his career. He went out with a bang. In his final game, he pitched a shutout in game seven of the World Series to cap of a year in which he won the Cy Young Award and MVP by going 25-3 with a 1.68 ERA. He retired the next fall. (And in case you're wondering, yes, I keep the original Mogul on my Hard Drive just to look at his career stats in the HOF.) Baseball renamed the best pitcher award for him. His name????? Cy Dillon! Yes, his parents named him after Cy Young and he broke every one of his pitching records. As Dean Houston is to football, Cy Dillon is to baseball. A cultural icon. A legend.

[The Mike]

Back to FOF names -

After a disappointing career as a child actor-turned actor, he thought he'd give it a go in the NFL...

FA Cornerback Rick Schroeder!

[Bearcat729]

I still like Blitzen Copeland. This should be the last time I post about him

[mckerney]

I had these two idiots on my team once, Dean Houston and John Dixon. Houston was my 4th string quarterback and wasn't intended to play, but when my first three guys went down, I was forced to start him the next game. Now this guy, he couldn't complete a single pass. Wait, he could, just to the other team. He ended the day with 6 TD passes, all of ints in the first half. The 2nd half was stricly running, though Houston had to hand the ball off, which caused quite a few fumbles.

Then Dixon, he was an undersized DE who I had to move to LB, where he was still pretty small for the position. He too was forced to start because of injury, and I saw some pretty strange things the game he played. You see, this guy just couldn't make a tackle
Here are a few things I saw:

34 Howard runs off tackle left
Dixon goes over to make the tackle, but is run over and beaten in to the ground by the smallest, and argueably weakest RB in the league, who then goes 68 yards for the touchdown because Dixon got back up trying to make the tackle, but was only able to run into his own players preventing them from stopping Howard.

[Darkiller]

LOLOLOLOL @ theMike !

that guy was clearly special http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

how'bout former "ring by the bell"'s Zach Morris ?
same kinda guy...

[lcjjdnh]

I once had a player named Phillip Phillips, he was a pretty bad players, but I got free lighting in my stadium http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

[absolutadam]

Dynamite Dolemite. For a running back, he was less than dynamite.

[Raiders Army]

http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/confused.gif I've never seen any "Dizzy" or "Dynamite" players. Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough, but in probably over 1000 seasons, I haven't seen any!

if you're *really* interested, you can use a hex editor (fhred/fhreddy is free and pretty good) to read all the first and last names in the game (FNames.dll and LNames.dll).

standard warning: unless you know for certain what you're doing, don't make any changes to these files...

[albionmoonlight]

My only contribution here is Billy Joe Dostoevsky, aseventh round kick returner that I had. I like the incongutiy of the name.

-alb

[The Mike]

Yes,

Not unlike one of my stud DTs, Deron Van der Ahe. I like the contrast from 1st name to last.

[Mantle2600]

my greatest quarterback of all time was named sherman schwartz.

[airulf]

My greatest QB of all time (I also had Drew Bledsoe) just made the HOF. His name was Wendell Wheeler.

Currently I have two RB's with somewhat weird names: Roosevelt Berryhill and Renaldo Twisp.

In real life I think a name like Pats WR Shockmain Davis is rally weird. What was his parents thinking?

y'know chubby, you have this peculiar fascination concerning slandering Dean...

Some loyalty you showed Dean. You wouldn't even draft his son. Grandson. Whatever the hell he was. http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif

[MIJB#19]

mckerney that was funny, though I don't wanna hear that name ever again!

OK, since I don't wanna mckerney-post, I throw in some names:

Marshall Constable,
George George.

BTW ez, I know what I'm doing...

[primelord]

In my current career I just drafted in the 5th round safety Charles Bednarik. Somewhere Frank Gifford is shivering http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

Rick

[sabotai]

Shortly after my bashing of Any Given Sunday on the old board, I drafted a CB by the name of Jamie Fox

[Cringer]

A little OT here...a little.

Went and saw "Meet The Paents" last night and Ben Stiller's character has a name meant for this...although maybe a little on the dirty side...his name is Gaylord Fockr...his last name is a ongoing joke through-out the movie, but u don't find out about his first name till later...which of course there is a rather funny joke attached to...

[mckerney]

Josh found a Quarterback by the name of Tony Wyss. Too bad he was a bench warmer. Heh.

[sturmie]

i had a S named MIKE HANEY and someone else had a QB named JOEL MORRISON.

why are these significant? i work w/ a michael haney right now and i grew up w/ a kid named joel morrison...weird http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

[sachmo71]

Well, I must head into my Front Page Sports teams of old and suggest some names. WR Deion Roddenhouse was an all-pro of mine. Brad Gamble was my QB, and that is where my cloudy memory ends...should go back and play a few seasons. Its been a while!

------------------
"It's ok to cut a kicker in the middle of a season!"

[Hunter]

My favorite player of all time was from the old Dynamix Football before it got taken by Sierra. His name was Frank Cadigan. He threw for 12,000 yards per season and over 100 TD's per season. Not that that makes me special. The game could be taken advantage of, obviously.
Unfortunately for my team he mysteriously retired after five seasons; the victim of a car crash is what I said at the time.

[sachmo71]

Donovan Jamison. RB. Broke ALL of the records when he was drafted by Philly in 2000 1st overall. And I GOT him 3 years later. This was before I knew how to cheat, so I bet THE FARM, and he paid off. Ahhh...Donovan.

[sachmo71]

Sorry...Arizona. Duh!

------------------
Lizards and snakes are cool!

[HeatMan]

Leslie Forbes was my best QB ever. He holds all possible records. 67,125 passing yards, 483 TD passes...

[Logan]

A QB that was a stiff named Dick Head.

[CactusJunk]

Okay, just noticed this one in my scouting report for my Iggles' next game against the Giants:

CB Little Potato Schulz

What the hell kind of name is that?

[Buddy Grant]

I had a guy named Wesley Harding, and there was a Bob Dylan album named John Wesley Harding. That was unfortunately the only memorable thing about him.

[fmonster]

QB Skip Spivey! What a GUY! http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

[thunderingHERD]

Idolized All-League LB Grant Lincoln from Harding College.

[This message has been edited by thunderingHERD (edited 10-28-2000).]

[ewarrior18]

i have no clue what you guys are talking about

[Houlihan]

I can confirm the previous little potato sighting. Little Potato Carter was a stalwart DE of mine whose career was tragically cut short by tobacco withdrawl syndrom.

[ohmslaw]

What if Little Potato Schulz's daughter married Dick Head's son and they named their kid Little Potato Head?

[wbonnell]

i had a 5'10" backup qb named Jumbo...

[Doc Grizz]

No bull, I had a back up QB named Bill Clinton from Arkansas St.

------------------
No matter where you go, there you are.

[Raven]

QB Pat MaGroine and his pro bowl center Ben Dover....oh and PR Director Amanda Huginkiss.

......ok, so maybe I didn't "really" have any of those guys....whats your point

------------------
-Raven

[Bad-example]

My defensive line was pretty thin so I drafted a defensive end to help reduce the pressure on the starters.

DE Les Strain

------------------
I am not completely worthless. I can always serve as a bad example.

[Karlifornia]

"Hi, is Hugh there?"

"Hugh?"

"Yeah, last name, Ashman."

"Hey everybody, I'm looking for a Hugh Ashman. Is there a HUGH ASHMAN here?"

Yep, he was a 1st round pick WR and is now in his seventh year.

Pretty humorous stuff http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/wink.gif

[Dopegame]

The best one I've seen so far:

CB - Trash Talk Oaks

Sadly, the guy played CB about like an Oak...

[MEmbrey]

Miami just offered me 5'11" 263 pound tight end Pumpkinhead Givens.

As much as I would have liked to, I couldn't deal my top CB for him.

[This message has been edited by MEmbrey (edited 11-15-2000).]

[Marmel]

Just as a reference, there was a Syracuse player named Kirby Dar Dar. I am pretty sure he was in the NFL for a year or two, but that's where the last name comes from.

BTW, any 'Cuse fans remember the play that DAR DAR is most famous for? I was at that game and it was the best I have ever seen.

[Marmel]

My current season has me with a backup up RB named:

Omar WIGGINS

I am wonder if there is a distant relationship to Wignasty.

He is a TD specialist. In his rookie season he rushed 35 times for 199 yards and 5 TD's

[mh2365]

7th round draft pick from Colorado State: Little John Denver !!!! LB had to cut him cuz unfortunatley he hit like a Little John Denver ..... or wait he hit like Grandma's featherbed hahahaha

[dawgfan]

Ferocious Schweitzer, WR

What a bizarre combination of names...can you imagine the taunting that kid must have endured?

The saddest thing in the world is the sound of software dying...

[noisaddct]

I had a back-up qb named george lucas

[jason_tobias]

The latest bomb, first pick in the first round, out of Duke, quarterback Luther Wampus.

I made this pick. He threw 16 interceptions before throwing a single touchdown. He made Ryan 'Pot' Leaf and Todd 'Marijauna' Vich look like Warren Moon.

Speaking of Pot Leaf and Marijauna Vich, I am working on a pilot for a new Odd Couple' with a twist. The twist is there isn't anything odd about loser quarterbacks.

[Fonzie]

My 2003 draft featured a 5'11", 301 lb Center from Mississippi State named "B.J. Lewinsky."

Sadly, B.J. went undrafted.

[OceanMachine]

I just had a Ty Cobb sighting. He was a crappy defensive back.

[Lynn Dickey]

"Jumbo Fry" (5'11", 197) just beat me with a game winning field goal.

Kinda wonder why he's named "Jumbo"...leaving the door wide open http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/smile.gif

[SackAttack]

Isn't that South Park? (I don't watch the show but the name sounds familiar)

Josh

[MEmbrey]

sachmo71, I was indeed serious about Pumpkinhead Givens. Unfortunately it appears that he's retired in the last couple years. I can't find him on anyone's roster or in the free agent pool. Maybe it was an injury or something, I sure don't remember him being that old when he was offered to me in a trade.

[petrochile]

I had a scout named Troy Stoner, I wonder what his thoughts on Bam Morris would be. Also I saw a guy in my last draft named Slick Willie Hanes. My favorite name from FOF2 was Preacher Ed Sutter.

[sachmo71]

Pumpkinhead. that's awesome!

------------------
The saddest thing in the world is the sound of software dying...

[Carligula]

Des Moines just drafted a quarterback named Henry Hudson. I think the other teams really missed the boat on this kid. He should be a shoo-in for team captain, although his passes have a tendency to sail. He is reported to be very effective in cold weather.

[petrochile]

I just drafted a LB named Full Contact Feliciano, played two years and got cut, mad a lot of highlight films though =)

[CubsFan915]

This just in from the Department of Redundnacy Department...

In an Empty Cupboard Career I'm doing (an dmay be posting; not sure yet) my starting tackle picked up in the expansion draft is named Howard Howard.

------------------
GO NAVY!!! BEAT ARMY!!!

[petrochile]

I have Jon Paxson on my team right now.

Todd

[Houlihan]

I wish I new how to post screenshots, because this guy is worth it:

Meal Ticket Finkes, OT, KCY

Mr. Finkes was a 16th pick overall, an absolute bust, and is on his way out of the league. He has played 155 downs over 3 seasons with three different teams.

Can't beat the name, though.

[Ctown-Fan]

To take a screen shot . . .hit the print screen button and then in a photo editor, click edit and then paste. it should then put the image on screen and you can save it. As for posting it here, i'm still trying to figure that out. i think it is somewhere in thise forum, i'll look around and see if i can't figure it out

[Ctown-Fan]

Here, I found the link that explains it

Approximately 5 or 6 seasons ago, I saw a DE named Jumbo Gay. Thought it was pretty funny and decided that would probably be the worst name I'd see. I was incorrect...

Last night in looking at my 2018 draft, the first name Jumbo came back with a vengeance...

...Jumbo Beavers, LB out of Texas A&M. The XFL would be proud.

jason_tobias,

I had an LB named Moe Lester in one of my very first FOF2 careers...I may still have the screenshot saved on my laptop. I'll post it if so.

Josh

[jason_tobias]

I just saw a RB in the championship game singlehandedly beat my Columbia (Mo) Cartel, his first name was Timberwolf. Moe Lester is a creepy name. Timberwolf is not so creepy.

Getting alot of Bubba's at tight end.
Alot of O.j's at kicker and backup QB.

BTW: The last season I played, scored me an all time high, 95. Lost in the championship, like I said before. Rose those ticket prices astronomically high during an especially popular period of the franchise.
I signed a rookie free agent who ended up getting 1500 yards and winning the rookie of the year, and not by fluke, as his ratings were tremendous. Earl West...I'll get this guy up. He deserves recognition.

[mls37]

DE Ice Wings Desjardins

Taken in the first round by the Austin Powers and cut before the first preseason game. Maybe he went back to the NHL?

[Ctown-Fan]

I just drafted a running backed named Animal Firebaugh . . .maybe I could do a muppets challenge . . .Hmm. if only there were recivers with the name Janice because my place kicker is set with some guy name rolf

[Hannibal]

I didn't draft him, but there was a guy in our draft named Teddy Grams.

[Drake]

My Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback in 2075 is Mo Love.

And yes, he's a fan favorite.

[GuySmiley]

There is a running back in my league named Tito Jackson.

[Fritz]

I ain't reaing through them all, so this may be listed, but I just drafted a "Laughing Larry Sinclair QB, Southern Miss."

He is not very good, but I took him in the third round because of his name.

[TheDawgsAreOut]

My Pac-10 challenge forced me to pass on tightend Sammy Davis (not Jr.). I thought he was a real cool cat.

In the previous one, I couldn't sign wr Leo Branch to go along with QB Leo Branch. Would've given me the following sentances on my play log:

8 Branch complete to 88 Branch for 8 yards ...

or something like that.

[MIJB#19]

Bringing back an old one of mine:
Sammy Malone

Thinking of the recent TCY screenshots, I wonder what his Girlfried stats would liook like...

[The Mike]

Pretty decent QB in my latest draft... "Hep Cat Lyle".

Weird.

[clintl]

In consecutive drafts, Terrell Terrell and Allen Allen appeared.

[Vegas Vic]

Richard Nixon played for the Philadelphia Eagles in my Maine Moose dynasty. When he retired, he was overheard saying "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore".

[sooner333]

I had a Kim Kim once.

[Ctown-Fan]

Ha!Ha!Ha! This guy should be in the XFL!

Ctown,

Yeah, but did he bust? That symmetry in the top two lines scares me.

[Fritz]

Ctown - did you ask him out on a date too?

Oakland drafted him in the third round (I would have taken him (even with the risk) earlier but I run a 3-4 and already have my rubn stopper in the middle.

Pre camp 2018 his ratings are: 50/82, 40/77, 29 (guess he is a little fat).

His first season was decent: 16 GS, 32t, 14asst, 3.5 sacks

so I guess he didn't bust

Allen Allen was the real name of a volleyball star on the UH Men's Volleyball team in the early 90s when the Poppinga brothers were at UH too.

Volleyball (men's and women's) is actually the most popular arena collegiate sport in Hawaii and sells out the 10,000 seat Stan Sheriff Arena on a regular basis. No joke. Opposing teams love coming to Hawaii to play because they never get crowds at home (for example UCLA in Pauley Pavilion will draw perhaps 2500 even in seasons where they are defending national champions and ranked #1).

I am usually very happy when 15 people show up...

Didn't want to post unrelated to the topic, but this thread has been unsued for more then a month!

[3ric]

I just saw an undrafted rookie free agent QB named Terminator Woodard in the draft.

He was really bad though - couldn't get myself to pick him up just for his name...

[SofaKingDrunk]

QB Russell Compton (I just like the last name)


WAY back in the day on the original Front Page Sports: Football Pro (before they started putting years at the end of it) I had a WR named Mahogany Jones and a TE named Sven Svappington.

Dixon Payne

Ouch.

[korme]

OOTP OF Flavor Linton.

[phatguy]

320+ lb DT from Buffalo called Junior Pigg

[illinifan999]

On my West Palm Beach dynasty, I had a cb, and a running-back, from the same home-town, same last name, same high school, same height, and a tiny difference in height. I guess they were twins. <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0"> Their last name was O'Neil, or O'Donnell, or some O' something. It was cool, they both started and got 3.8 GPA's.

[bad-example]

Now that FOF4...with a player editor...is about to be released, I thought it might be a good time to remember this thread and its predecessor at the old Sideline.

I bought the original FOF and played the hell out of it. I found my way to the Sideline board in the early days of its existence, but mostly lurked. When FOF2 was released, I refused to buy it, as Digital River did not inspire confidence. I continued to play FOF1 and to visit the Sideline often.

My memories of the Sideline are good ones. I remember being impressed with the quality of discourse the game and on a wide range of other topics. But the one thread that really made me jealous of those playing FOF2 was the Names Thread. I remember laughing so hard at some of the names that were popping up for some folks.

Everyone got bored with this names thread eventually, and with the new FOF's player editor, it is unlikely that people will be posting many funny names here in the future.

Anyway, just thought it might be fun to remember some of our past favorites...like the stud linebacker I once drafted, Rex Cherry. <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0">

[kilgore_nobiz]

The best name I can recall off the top of my head was a center from 'Bama named Pickpocket Coles.

The best player I ever had on my teams was a four-time league MVP at RB named Robert "Bobby" McGhee out of Ohio State. I won 3 SBs with that guy. He wound up with 13,000 yards rushing and something like 140 TDs.

[buzzbee]

In my TCY Georgia Tech Dynasty, I have a Tackle named Snackbar Longhenry. Snackbar is just an awesome name for a lineman. And Longhenry is just damn funny. But the two together made him a definite priority on my recruit list.

6'6" 278 lbs.

Run Blocking 11/63
Pass Blocking 20/97
Endurance 100

He is a redshirt sophomore from Prospect Heights high school in Brooklyn, New York.

Unfortunately he probably won't see much playing time until later in his career since I already have two stellar Tackles.

[Marmel]

FOF4, a tackle named:

Honor Roll Carpenter

[mh2365]

wr- Touchdown Dupree
fb - Ferret Claws Crooks

just curious how a random generator for first names and last names could come up with Ferret Claws Crooks ...

Touchdown Dupree is a GREAT name for a Wide Receiver.

Ferret Claws Crooks.....is just weird.

<IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0">

[korme]

Big Weiner.

<IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Ok, so I edited his name.

[mh2365]

I love Touchdown Dupree ... great name ... Ferrets are notorious crooks, that's why I thought it was strange that the name was randomly generated

[Yurenass]

My favorite name: Hunter Farmer. He was Temple's best receiver, caught 4 passes for 76 yds against my Scarlet Knights. <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0">

[cuervo72]

Just started playing FOF4, I'm getting addicted pretty quickly. In my second season with the Bills, I saw this name in the transaction log before the season:

Franz, Dennis

I'll have double check to see what position he is and try to get a screenshot of his stats.

[cthomer5000]

In my Rutgers dynasty i had a succssful FB turned Defensive End named Terrell Terrell. He was so good, his parents named him twice!

Also, I had a great starting tackle,

Gerald "The President" Ford.

[WussGawd]

Recently, I passed on a scout in FOF2 named Baby Jane Schmaltz.

Who the world would ever name their boy Baby Jane?

<IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0">

[WSUCougar]

Just last night in TCY I came across an outside linebacker from Albuquerque, New Mexico named Rattler Leandri. He also has bitchin' stats after four games, something like 49 tackles, 6 sacks, 3 INTs. Even though he is a "red" recruit, I gotta have him.

This might be my favorite TCY name ever, at least that I've encountered.

[MartinD]

When I was doing the WLC, I had a star WR called Clay Mugford - ended up playing something like 14 years and made the HoF, so he certainly wasn't fragile... <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0">

Martin

[cuervo72]

Just saw another good one in a recent draft, a top notch TE (his stats his rookie year were already superb) with the name "Bob Ballew". I wonder if his parents were Desi Arnaz fans.

[WSUCougar]

Fish Head Trowbridge
quarterback
Gig Harbor, WA
TCY

(word is he really stinks)

[maddog28]

I have a sophmore linebacker at Vanderbilt whose name is ..... Vipersmith Bouchette He was SEC Defensive freshman of the year despite only playing 9 games due to injury.

[cuervo72]

I just drafted a RCB (and return specialist) named Sam Malone.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Mohammed Bernstein is a classic though...a walking irony of a man .

[Passacaglia]

While playing TCY, I recruited a stud running back named <b>Norm Peterson</b>. He did really good as a freshman, then as a sophomore, he led Grand Rapids to a national title over Michigan -- in the THIRD YEAR of Grand Rapids' existence! And where was I? Enjoying a 3-8 season in my new job at Troy State. Cheers!

And just recently, while playing as the Bears, I drafted a quarterback in the 5th round who I thought might develop, <b>Ronald McDonald</b>. I've stopped playing that career, so it might be a while before I see how he develops.

[Bad-example]

G Subway Sam Fitts
DE Baby Brad Hudson
RB Porpoise Trotter

Porpoise Trotter is one great name for a RB.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

Ronald Mcdonald .....let us now how he turns out .

[Kodos]

I just played the Browns in the 2016 Super Bowl, and one of their tight ends is named Ralph Wiggins.

I forget how many there were, but a while back I compiled a list from folks who stated they'd like their names added as nicknames to the game (and added some obvious ones) and sent it to Jim who graciously added them.
