I nominate Stylez G. White for best NFL name change of '08 - Shutdown Corne... - NFL - Yahoo! Sports Greg White doesn't have the high profile of Bengals receiver Chad Ocho Cinco, formerly known as Chad Johnson. But I do think he's pulled off the best name change of this NFL season. Buccaneers opponents will no longer be blocking Greg White. They will be blocking Stylez G. White. He made it official in court today.
Actually it was Monday. I cannot wait for his name to be called when they introduce the defense. Or for that matter, when it shows up on his NFL.com player page.
I figured it was only a matter of time before someone else did it. Hopefully, it doesn't get too out of hand. Although I have to admit, I'd find it amusing for a bit... "Slick Willie with a 30 yard pass that is CAUGHT in the end zone by Da Real Dizzle for a TOUCHDOWN!"
Can you imgaine Joe Buck getting all bent out of shape doing play by play with some of the crazy names that might start popping up? Would be totally worth it!
The best part about it was his reasoning. He's a big "Teen Wolf" fan. It was a hit Michael J. Fox movie from the 80's for the youngins. Hopefully he doesn't get injured "urban surfing"
