Our Top 15 Hilarious NFL Player Names

Last week on the show we discussed our favourite hilarious NFL player names in honour of the Superbowl.
We promised to upload a list of our top 15, so make sure you aren’t drinking anything right now because you are going to burst into laughter (unless you want to pull a great prank on your mates, in which case make sure they ARE drinking – I recommend a strawberry milkshake because you know that’s not gonna look pretty). I honestly can’t believe that some of these are real names, I blame the parents. And without further ado, in no particular order:
HONOURABLE MENTION:
DICK BUTKUS
It’s almost too easy to make a joke about this name. But he is a legend of the sport, so we’ll hold our jokes for the definitive list
THE LIST:
CAPTAIN MUNNERLYN
This is the only name on the list that I sort of wish was my own name. Could you imagine being called Captain?!
CJ AH YOU
I could never stay mad at this guy. Oh you…
RICHIE INCOGNITO
It’s impossible to find him on the field. Even though he is 6’3 and weighs 145kg.
PLAXICO BURRESS
This guy sounds like the president of a massive plastic corporation
D’BRICKASHAW FERGUSON
You can call him D’Brick for short
MISTER ALEXANDER
Just think, in formal settings this guy goes by Mr. Mister Alexander
CORY LEKKERKERKER
I imagine that when this guy was born his father was trying to tell the nurse his name for their official records and he just kept stuttering, but the nurse wrote it down anyway. And this was his name forever more
LOUSAKA POLITE
This guy would always win the award for player with the most sportsmanship
DEMARCUS FAGGINS
The 10th Member of the Fellowship of the Ring. The one they never tell you about.
FAIR HOOKER
(Insert joke here). There’s just too many to choose from
CURRY BURNS
Do you think he eats a lot of Indian food? Talk about the ring of fire
YOURHIGHNESS MORGAN
Football Royalty
JOHN DAVID BOOTY
I can’t imagine the abuse this guy went through in high school
KIRBY DAR DAR
Dar dar dar dar (on and on forever)
DICK FLOWERS
No. Just no.
That’s our list. We hope you had a good laugh. But I’m sure we missed some great players, so if you know of any players that didn’t make our list (and should have), please post something on our Facebook and we’ll add it in!
