bum ba bum chiiiiii

vols · 11-08-2000, 04:47 AM

I had a RB named "Toothpick Turner".

I had to draft him in my Colts career, just couldn't pass that name up!!

Vaj · 11-08-2000, 09:47 AM

Bubba Abdul-Jabbar is my new favorite.

SackAttack · 11-10-2000, 12:31 AM

Take a look at the man at the top of the list. Tell me this isn't freakin' hilarious.

Josh

kingnebwsu · 11-10-2000, 12:35 AM

Sweet merciful crap!!! A player has brought shame to the proud Ohio State University with his name only.

Beginning his second season in 2015 at guard for the Denver Broncos...

B.J. Clinton

wbonnell · 11-10-2000, 12:43 AM

I believe you, but I gotta see a screen shot (suitable for framing) of that!

kingnebwsu · 11-10-2000, 01:08 AM

I'm not real familiar with screen shots and everything...how would I take a screen shot and post it here? I'm using FOF 2 if that matters. Thanks guys.

-Ben

kingnebwsu · 11-11-2000, 07:19 PM

Reposting to keep the thread at the top...can I take screenshots in FOF 2? Or is it an exclusively FOF 2001 thing? Thanks.

-Ben

SackAttack · 11-11-2000, 11:19 PM

kingneb,

The Print Screen button on your keyboard will take screenshots with most any program for ya. FOF1, 2, 3, or any other proggie that captures your fancy.

mh2365 · 11-12-2000, 02:36 PM

Just saw a scout named Sand Castle Maas ... his ratings were mostley poor because he was 77 years old

aej · 11-13-2000, 12:11 PM

A 2nd year DT I passed up in the '02 expansion draft;
Lamar Dar Dar......with Atlantar......har, har, har.

Just had a guy who was named Arrowsmith Johnson.

Dopegame · 11-13-2000, 04:13 PM

The best one I've seen so far:

CB - Trash Talk Oaks

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

MEmbrey · 11-15-2000, 04:45 PM

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.

Marmel · 11-15-2000, 10:15 PM

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 · 11-15-2000, 10:30 PM

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 · 11-15-2000, 10:55 PM

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 · 11-16-2000, 02:15 AM

Ferocious Schweitzer, WR

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

noisaddct · 11-17-2000, 05:41 PM

I had a back-up qb named george lucas

jason_tobias · 11-17-2000, 10:09 PM

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 · 11-19-2000, 02:20 AM

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

Sadly, B.J. went undrafted.

OceanMachine · 11-19-2000, 11:25 PM

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

Lynn Dickey · 11-26-2000, 01:07 AM

"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

TomFoley · 11-27-2000, 04:37 PM

bigcanofwhupass · 11-28-2000, 01:47 AM

Hah... this one is too funny...

Stan Marsh...

And he's from Colorado even...

If you don't get it, nevermind...

SackAttack · 11-28-2000, 02:05 AM

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

Josh

MEmbrey · 11-28-2000, 02:43 AM

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 · 11-28-2000, 10:44 AM

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 · 11-28-2000, 10:45 AM

Pumpkinhead. that's awesome!

Carligula · 11-28-2000, 09:12 PM

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 · 11-29-2000, 11:07 AM

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

CubsFan915 · 11-29-2000, 02:53 PM

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 · 11-29-2000, 03:19 PM

Cubsfan, he could be from Sudan. I believe the first born must take there last name as their first name. It is good to see that the NFL is getting more global in the future

sachmo71 · 11-29-2000, 03:29 PM

I can verify the Pumpkinhead name. I had one in my mine as well, I laughed so hard i fell out of my chair. The best one I had was in FOF2: Abe Abigal Cabbage. He was the all time Interception leader and Hall of Fame Saftey.

FishFan · 11-30-2000, 03:45 PM

Here are a couple:

Mercury Devine
Sedrick Oquendo
Brock Brock (so nice, they named him twice)

Iceberg · 11-30-2000, 04:19 PM

CB Mayhem Fassero

QB Quinten Smith, it is interesting because the QB of my high school team has the same name.

BishopMVP · 11-30-2000, 08:22 PM

My backup QB for 3 years, now starting for the Falcons is named Flowerpot Erickson.

henry296 · 11-30-2000, 08:42 PM

I have Jon Paxson on my team right now.

Todd

Houlihan · 11-30-2000, 08:59 PM

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 · 11-30-2000, 09:13 PM

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 · 11-30-2000, 09:36 PM

Here, I found the link that explains it
http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~fof/ubb/...ML/001289.html

Carigula has a great explaination of how to do it . . .and it works for posting in here, which mine does not

Houlihan · 11-30-2000, 09:38 PM

Aha - here it is:

I knew how to take screenshots - to post them, click on the UBB code information link in the post form, and it will explain how to add the UBB image code.

SkyLine · 11-30-2000, 10:41 PM

D.J.Rhodes is the greatest QB to ever play the game....

17 seasons
18 awards
4286 completions
67436 yards
543 touchdowns

DJ DJ DJ DJ DJ DJ DJ DJ DJ DJ!

SFL Cat · 11-30-2000, 10:53 PM

On of my best ever o-linemen was Nate House - and boy he blocked like one. He was an All-Star 1st or 2nd team player for 13 of his 16 years.

MackAttacks · 12-02-2000, 09:51 PM

QB - Galloping Gene Diefendorf

Iceberg · 12-03-2000, 04:23 PM

Gary Dudzik, a definate Dud, worst QB ever to play the game

AChrisagis · 12-03-2000, 06:02 PM

I have a QB drafted in the 4th Round called Fireball Roberts. Bet his WR's hands will be sore after a game.
