    Christian Okoye. When he was on, he ruled. I really liked that guy. What year was that when he had 1400+ yds? Er, late 80's... You can see I don't cheat. I also bite at trivia because of it.

    "Joe Willie White Shoes".

    Neutron Natrone - I always thought that was pretty dumb. There was a thread once with Jets players with cool names. Me, I went with Burgess Owens and Derrick Gaffney, but there's tons to choose from.
