Chubby · 10-20-2000, 11:54 PM

I can't think of any I like but my LEAST favorite is Dean Houston

Bad-example · 10-21-2000, 12:09 AM

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.

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.

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

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

mckerney · 10-21-2000, 10:05 AM

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.

that guy was clearly special

how'bout former "ring by the bell"'s Zach Morris ?

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).

my greatest quarterback of all time was named sherman schwartz.

airulf · 10-22-2000, 12:05 AM

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?

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

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...

sachmo71 · 10-23-2000, 01:30 PM

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!

Hunter · 10-23-2000, 03:04 PM

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 · 10-23-2000, 04:24 PM

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.

A QB that was a stiff named Dick Head.

CactusJunk · 10-28-2000, 04:18 PM

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.

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

"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.
