Yep I have to admit it, that is one heck of a name especially to the person who has a speech impediment.
I hope the sport he plays does not have a position called ' Tight End'.

How about current and former Cleveland Indians' players Coco Crisp & Milton Bradley? 😉

I can empathise with the guy. 😛 Having a silly name in sports doesn't seem to hold them back. Though I can imagine Dick Butkus wouldn't have made it in Hollywood.

Wasn't there a Dick Assman who was conductor of the orchestra on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson"? There was certainly some members of an Assman family who are senior officials of the Barrett-Jackson car auctions.
