humor: The 2007 All-Name Team (cuts)

[zeromaster]

Some will smile, and some will complain (or ask the mods for a banning), but I only ask you to consider the poor announcers that would have to deal with calling out the starting lineup listed below.

On the eve of a new season, let us bow our heads and ponder Those Who Might Have Been:

On defense (4-3-4):

• C.J. Ah You (DE, Bills)
• Xzavie Jackson (DE, Bengals)
• Patrice Majondo-Mwamba (DT, Chiefs)
• Tui Alailafaleula (DT, Giants)
• Dhani Jones (LB, Saints)
• Akeem Jordan (LB, Raiders)
• Terna Nande (LB, Titans)
• Chidi Iwuoma (CB, Steelers)
• Omowale Dada (CB, Seahawks)
• Tuff Harris * (S, Dolphins)
• Bhawoh Jue (S, Chargers)

On offense:

• Derek Devine (QB, Seahawks) - sorry just didn't seem to be any good names on the wire
• Artose Pinner * (RB, Vikings)
• Ciatrick Fason (RB, Vikings)
• Fontel Mines * (TE, Bears)
• Damarius Bilbo (WR, Cowboys)
• Craphonso Thorpe (WR, Colts)
• Chukky Okobi (C, Steelers)
• Ikechuku Ndukwe * (G, Ravens)
• Emmanuel Akah * (G, Chiefs)
• Na’Shan Goddard * (T, Jets)
• Cory Lekkerkerker * (T, Chargers)

No special teams, out of respect for Hos, and also like Mr. Devine, there just wasn't much to go on.

Honorable mention:

• Mkristo Bruce (DE, Dolphins)
• Khreem Smith (DE, Vikings)
• Tutan Reyes (G, Jaguars)
• Enoka Lucas (G, Bucs)
• Pago Togafau * (LB, Cardinals)
• Patrick Body (S, Vikings)
• Vickiel Vaughn (S, 49ers)
• Gijon Robinson * (TE, Colts)
• Syndric Steptoe (WR, Browns)
• Brad Ekwerekwu (WR, Chiefs)
• DelJuan Robinson (DE, Texans)
• and the 49ers had 4 different cuts involving people named Zac, Zak, Zach, and Zachery

Culled from scout.com, these are listed as close as possible to the team that killed their dreams (* - listed on their own or someone else's practice squad).

Enjoy... (and corrections are inevitable).

Are you "Hooked on Phonics"?

Some of those names are fun. Think you need to look a bit harder for stranger names than Akeem and Khreem. Those don't seem that uncommon.

Thanks Norm.

I thought Friedo killed this segment?

 

[HighTechDave]

Thanks Norm.

LMAO!!!

I was about to post whether this was Norm or not. If not, send it to him at The Ticket. this will fill a Segmnet, and I'll listen and laugh

:laugh2:

No, I'm not Norm, not in this or any other dimension.

There were others, but the DL and WR are the most overloaded. There may be better ones still on their rosters, but I was trying for the cut/release list, and trying not to overload with ethnic names either.

After all, if Frank Gifford can keep saying Michael Irving, imagine what that lineup would do to him.
