Looking over our rosters for the last few decades I see the problem.

We've had a Pig, a Squirrel, a Cooter, and a Cafego. We've had a Hacksaw, a Peerless, a Sax, and a no-joke US Army General.

Heck, our current roster is rich with All-Name fellas. We've got a Jeudy-Lolly, a Bru, and a hot-damned Nico Iamaleava. We have a Small and a Sampson together in the backfield. We have a Gaston ("no one drinks last Gaston, no one fights like Gaston..."). We have a Weathersby. We have a Shamurad Umarov. We have a Weary and a Leacock and a 250-pound Salmon. For heaven's sake, we have a Navy!

And we have coaches named Heupel, Ekeler, and Halzle. We have a fella named Jean-Mary. We have our own Pope.

I'd say we're doin' okayin the All-Name competition.

Go Vols!

[thanks, Pimo, for the smiles]

We do not have enough all-name guys on our rosters. There is a severe lack of Koolaids, Sauces and so on. I was looking up an NFL all-time name list and in the top 50 Not one former Vols.

  6. D'Brickashaw Ferguson (Retired, OT, New York Jets)
  7. Captain Munnerlyn (Retired, CB)
  8. BenJarvus Green-Ellis (Retired, RB, Cincinnati Bengals) - This one is a real mouthful

  10. John David Booty (FA, Vikings)
  11. Earthwind Moreland - (Retired, CB) - He has to love nature right?
  12. Richie Incognito (Guard, Dolphins) - Must of been hard to find him on the field sometimes
  13. Tiki Barber - (Retired, RB, New York Giants)
  14. Prince Amukamara (CB, New Orleans Saints)
  15. Frostee Rucker (Retired, DE, Las Vegas Raiders)

  19. Rex Grossman (Retired, QB, Redskins)
  20. Ashton Youboty (Retired, Jaguars) - It just sounds wrong and dirty
  21. C.J. Ah You (Retired, Rams) - We wonder does he have allergies?

  30. Legedu Naanee (Retired, WR, Miami Dolphins)
  31. Tedy Bruschi (Retired, LB, New England Patriots) - This has to be one of the most unusual/funniest NFL name out there right?

  33. Champ Bailey (Retired, CB, Denver Broncos)
  34. Key’vantanie “Keke” Coutee (WR, New Orleans Saints) - He definitely has Drake's Keke, Do you love me? on repeat

As I said that was like 20 years ago..We had more of it back then and Also won a natty which kinda proves my point. In the 80's and 90's and early 2000's we had some guys in the all-name team conversation. But these days we cant compete when teams are rolling out guys named after condiments and children's beverages. Its an arms race and we are losing. I am doing my part and on Valentine day laid the seed to produce quadruplets who will have the most epic names I can find on the ingredients list of Cool Ranch Doritos.. they will be like a Wutang song.

Folks have already mentioned these names, but I wish we had had Pig and Squirrel on field at the same time.

Only thing better might have been a Moose and Squirrel.

I wouldn’t put much stock in a list with that many errors. Mingo was an edge player, not an offensive linemen and they list multiple players multiple times

Breaking the 4th wall a bit here but if you are gonna pick apart pay closer attention if you notice the top of the list I found on some site hence the links.. The ones at the bottom I manually entered from and I Purposely put some on twice because of their names it was part of the joke. As far as Mingo I got no idea on that one bro.. h never came close to playing offense but did have one rush on a fake punt? Hell he never played for the falcons he got arrested and cut right after signing with them. But the point of the thread is the luls. The names and all of those are accurate and hilarious. At the Possum post we dont do no fact checking its all about hitting hard and disappearing into the night.. which I do now like a donkey punch.

Well, the story behind the story is one player doesn't make a team; these guys played with a great supporting cast.

Warrior, two Slaughters. NAVY shuler, Chandavian Bradley
Click to expand...
None of those names have the full effect.... Slaughter and even Warrior are not as uncommon surnames as you might think...Navy only hits like it does in Knoxville and Bradley cancels the magic of Chandavian right out. Now give me a Peaceful Slaughter and you're cooking. Itinerant Warrior.. thats cool stuff. The full name has to pop and have universal wtf attached....see here I was trying to slink away.

Yeah, I thought of him also especially if Polamalu made on the list.

As he was lead blocker for Bettis, the Steeler radio broadcasters sometimes called him the Bus Driver
