The next generation of strippers will likely go by names such as Jane, Mary and Elizabeth.

ETA: My older boy's middle name makes the list, as do both the first and middle names of my younger boy. If my next one is a boy, his name is on the list too!!! I'm so common. If the next one is a girl, however, she's not making the list.

Next one?!? Good God, woman, you are a glutton for punishment.

44 Jasmine (miles and miles of dick before she's 18)

and

91 Layla (more of a slut)

Wow, I don't get that vibe. In fact, last year when I hurt my leg and couldn't run, I started spinning. These were the two names I choose for class.

Any future mini-me will not be named Mary, Jane or Elizabeth. (If that's what you're saying -- somehow, however, I think you're making a subtler point that I'm missing entirely.)

69 Trinity
70 Sierra
71 Cadence

I think these three need boldface as well.

The reason you've never heard of number 9 is that it is a misspelling of Michaela (a female form of Michael). I have a friend (called Greta -- good name), who has an older sister who is in her 50's (i.e., before it was uber-popular) called Micaela.

The italicized names are a riot, and the bold ones are unbelieveable. Who would ever name someone one of those things?

Was it always like this? Why am I continually embarrassed by Americans? These are the names that the NFHs of the world are giving their babies. I am not Old Money, but the American Nouveau Riche are the equivalent to the medicore wide receiver who talks shit after EVERY SINGLE CATCH.


I'm going to grow a beard and start to wear flannel. Maybe buy a log cabin, chop some wood and plan to overthrow the middle class.

You know, Billups has turned into a pretty solid pro...

I was thinking that just the other day. And although I hate to give Hank props, he's a great team player who can make big shots when he needs to and makes others around him better.

But I still don't think he's as good as McGrady and I don't think there is anyone in the league who would take him over McGrady.

The name choices are irrelevant, fwiw.

I thought RT was ripping Woodson for being a bust Heisman, a la Ty Detmer. No, I never thought Woodson would be better than Manning. I didn't think he'd be better than Ryan Leaf, either. Though it's tough to compare CBs to QBs.

Has there ever been a bigger bust in the history of sports than Ryan Leaf? Hell, the Sam Bowie pick looks like pure genius in comparison.

Don't let the boldfaced girls get near any type of pole. Paigow's prole/bourgeois/nouveau riche names are italicized.

I'm 6'11"


1) knowing what we know today, no coherent GM would have drafted Chauncey over T-Mac.

2) Today 29/30 NBA teams would probably take T-Mac over Chauncey if both were offered in a trade.

3) 1 team wouldn't trade today. (and I don't mean Dumars is smarter, it's a question of where the Pistons are at right now)

I love Canada. RT, a similar program of managing his drinks could really get Penske back to where we could let him post again...just a thought.

• Ottawa program offers drinks to homeless alcoholics
  
  Turnbull's study found:
  
  Participants who typically had 46 drinks a day before the program dropped to about eight drinks a day during the program.
  

And I bet the number of later night hillary photoshops might drop.

Maybe not, but these have got to be close.

Todd Marinovich -- he was born to be a quarterback, right?

Tony Mandarich?

ETA: Brian Bosworth.

God, there are a lot of good examples -- mostly in football, I think.

2.

Marinovich and Bosworth have what Leaf has, which is not only no NFL talent, but a complete asshole attitude. What made Leaf an even bustier bust was telling off the fans, blowing off practice, and generally pissing off everybody around him.

BTW, there are probably more busts in baseball, but there's no expectation that drafted players will make an impact right away. Shawn Abner or Brien Taylor, anyone?
