    No love for Ndamukong Suh? Ndamukong means "House of Spears". That's kinda badass.

    Julius Caesar Watts was mentioned but not the player the Jets drafted right after him that year, '81- Admiral Dewey Larry. Was he called Admiral or Dewey by family and friends? Inquiring minds want to know!

    My all time favorite is a one- line transaction I read in the Daily News in 1974-

    "New Orleans Saints WR Jubilee Dunbar traded to Cleveland Browns for WR Fair Hooker"

    That's what I was going to post. Of course I'm biased, being a huge Husker fan, but his name is pretty awesome. Makes a great chant after he does something good.

    Jack Youngblood

    Preston Ridlehuber. Jet trivia: best known for scoring a TD against the Jets in a famous game--a TD no one saw.

    sidebar: former Viking QB Brad Johnson (who may've been the only QB to have thrown a TD pass to himself) named his son "Maximus"

    Maximus Johnson. Gee, thanks dad.
