Mildly interesting story: His name popped up among a list of college players some friends of mine ran across years ago, and amused by it, we added it to our “Space Names” list since it sounded like something out of Gundam or Star Wars, and we always needed extra names for nerdly RPG purposes. A few years later, I’m playing Madden and he’s on the Giants depth chart, and ended up being my leading rusher in franchise mode for a while.

were we in the same irc channel back in the day...

I was off IRC for years by that time, but one of the guys from the same group was another Houston Texans fan who used to post here years ago, and he might have been on IRC still then...

Wiggy is one of the morning guys on WEEI up in Boston now. He is decidedly not a smart man.

I dont know much about his football career other than he played for the Florida Tuskers in the UFL.

He caught a touchdown during the Monday Night Miracle, was on one of those early Patriots teams that won a Super Bowl (Maybe the first?), and I think was on the Vikings during the Culpepper-Moss seasons from vague 2K5 memories.

WINNINGEST BEVO
Dylan Haines, a safety during the late Mack Brown and Charlie Strong eras.



He had two signature moves. One was to be too slow to catch a WR, make a desperate diving attempt at a tackle, and end up face down on the turf. The other was to intercept the ball. Just weird ballhawk ability to come up with a ball if it was ever up for grabs where he was. Led at least one terrible Texas team in INTs.

He’s a real estate agent now.

I ask because back in the day i would post football player names that are also gundam names in irc and Orleans Darkwa was considered one of the best of them all

Just keep looking at what we're doing, keep watering and ask yourselves first and know 'Are you watering? And are you fertilizing every day?' So when it's time to pop, it'll pop.

Aeneas Williams is great because he's a straight-up HOFer and still makes perfect sense on this list. A career on the Cardinals'll do that I guess

They proceeded to do the exact same thing with Adrian Wilson except he isn't even getting into the hall :(

 Alge Crumpler - I remember when they got it schemed out so Revis was covering Alge Crumpler. That was a waste of Revis' talents.

Elvis Grbac - Someone in 1998 told People magazine's photographer, "Go photograph the Chiefs' Quarterback." This was before smartphones and the internet, they meant Rich Gannon. The photographer got Elvis Grbac instead. That is how he was selected "Sexiest Man Alive" by People Magazine in 1998.


Not sure why he doesn't have shoes on.
