It makes sense.
Even really bad teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers got a few wins last year.
Did you have any idea how good Plexico was when you picked him?
You should have picked up Gore at RB, he certainly has a name, and ability.

Meh, if one of them was a contender for President the name can't be that weird... I did not know Plaxico was any good, though I had heard the name before. I used to work on a football videogame at one point, so I was familiar with most of the weirder names because we had to help the voicetalent figure out how to pronounce them.

Baseball's awesome for names too. Like Coco Crisp, Milton Bradley...

Yeah, it may not be such a well-known brand up in Canada... but for basically the entire 20th century, pretty much every single American board game made for children was manufactured by the Milton Bradley company. The baseball player's parents most certainly knew what they were doing when they named their kid Milton.
