I Bet He Gets That a Lot

One time, in a class in college, two groups were doing a package on crime on Marshall Street, both groups interviewed the same t-shirt store employee. But in their packages, they called him two different names. One was the correct name, one was a made-up name they conjured because they had forgotten to ask his real name.
Similarly, as I have pointed out before on this blog, the 1996 Susan Wagner High School Yearbook misidentified several girls as NHL players, because VinJuice loves hockey and forgot to go back and get their correct names.
I could have sworn the same thing had happened when I watched a special about the NFL. A bald man identifed as the NFL Director of Programming Digital Media (sounds like a made-up title) was named as Tom Brady.

Surely, the producers had forgotten to get his name, inserted Tom Brady to hold the space and never went back to change it. But I Googled it, and came up with Tom Brady, Vice President, Programming & Production, NFL Media (a more believable title). He even had his own LinkedIn account.

That seems like an impossible coincidence, but I guess Tom Brady is just a more common name than I thought.

What's In a Name?

Not a jew! Neither Brandon Jacobs nor Ian Gold is Jewish, but which of those NFL players has the more deceptively Jewish name?

What's in a Name?

Which Florida State receiver has a worse name, De'Cody Fagg or Craphonso Thorpe?

With Fagg, the trash talk must be constant ("you suck, Fagg," "stop crying, Fagg" or "get up, Fagg") but with Crap (I think he actually goes by Cro), you have to live with the realization that your parents chose that name just for you.
