But this trend is going a bit overboard.
T.O. is good for Terrell Owens. LT is good for LaDanian Tomlinson and LJ is good for Larry Johnson (though a different LT and a different LJ came first).
And my favorite is AK, for Alex Kaplan and Andrei Kirilenko. That works on so many levels because he's number 47 and he's a Russian assault weapon, like the AK-47.
But VY for Vince Young? I don't like it.
Here are some others I don't like.
I really don't think San Francisco fans should call their rookie tight end VD (Vernon Davis).
And Bo Outlaw is goofy enough without being called BO.
I doubt Tony Parker likes to be called TP, especially when followed by "for my bunghole."
And I imgaine that Kevin Youkilis prefers "Greek God of Walks" (even though he's not Greek) to KY, but maybe "Jelly" would be allowed.

Awesome, I'm thrilled to be mentioned on the blog. Let's not forget a man who more or less only goes by his initials - AK.

See, my post is proof of how excited I was to see my name referenced in the poop. I entirely missed the fact that AK's name was mentioned right there.

Too bad Vernon Davis and Kevin Youkilis don't play on the same team
