3. Dean Windass
2.
Misty Hyman
10. Gregor Fucka
The
countdown begins with Italian basketball player Gregor Fucka. When
Fucka's mother gave birth to Gregor in Slovenia on August 7, 1971, she could
not have imagined that one day her little Fucka would be an Olympic athlete.
Mother Fucka's husband, Gregor's father, is of Italian ancestry which
allowed Gregor to become an Italian national and move to Trieste at the age
of 19 to play in the Italian league. The 7-foot Fucka represented
Italy at the 2000 Olympic games in Sydney and won the fucking 2003 Spanish
National Cup while playing for FC Barcelona.
B.J.
Johnson was a standout wide receiver for the Texas Longhorns from 2000 to 2003.
While at Texas, Johnson set 7 freshman receiving records, underperformed as
an upper-classman and was signed as a free agent by the Denver Broncos
after graduation. In two seasons with the Broncos, 2004 and 2005, B.J.
did not play in a single game. It is fair to say that B.J. Johnson sucks.
Johnson, who is currently signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has a name
composed of dual dick references.
Speaking
of dick, Pete LaCock played 9 seasons with the Chicago Cubs and Kansas City
Royals from 1972 to 1980 (although this card is from 1981, LaCock retired
before the season began). Born Ralph Pierre LaCock in Burbank,
California, Pete was a utility player who never quite packed any punch with
the bat. Interestingly, LaCock's father, Peter Marshall, was the host of "Hollywood
Squares" from 1966-1981. The elder LaCock, born with the LaCock name,
changed his name to Marshall to pursue an acting career in Hollywood.
His baseball-playing son kept the old name, LaCock, which, in French I believe
means "the penis."
This
Nigerian footballer currently plays for Watford F.C. in the English Premier
League. The 26-year-old defender has become a crowd favorite and the
Watford faithful have given Danny his own chant. They chant "Dan" a
whole bunch of times and then in the middle of it say, "And when you turn,
you'll see he's black dynamite.
And his name is Dan Shittu!" Interesting that a guy called Shittu is
nicknamed "black dynamite." Actual black dynamite describes something dark, cylindrical and
explosive. Sorta like shit. And an aside, are English soccer fans ever
going to cut the racist shit out? Shittu joins #6 and #3 on this
countdown and Albert Pujols and Assol Slivets on the first dirty name list
in the scatological subcategory.
Harry
Colon played 6 NFL seasons from 1991-97 with the Patriots, Lions and
Jaguars. The safety holds the Jaguars record for interceptions in
a season with three. More notable than Colon's football career is his very
dirty name, one that elicits some terrifying imagery. The colon is the
portion of the intestines that extracts water from outgoing feces. And
imagining that already foul tube lined with hair makes me want to gag.
Aw
man. This isn't a fake either. Lucious Pusey is a linebacker for
the Division I-AA Eastern Illiois Panthers. What on earth were
Lucious's parents thinking when they signed the birth certificate?
Lucious is the only Pusey I've ever seen with dreadlocks.
According to
Deadspin.com, Luscious Pusey has legally changed his name. His new
name is Lucious
Twatstein. Just kidding. It's Lucious Seymour.
But I think he should have gone with Lucious Seymour Pusey.
Sometimes
I wish I could write using a Butthead impression. "Uh, huh-huh, Dick
Pole." But I can't so I won't. Dick Pole, born Richard Henry
Pole was a pitcher with the Red Sox and Mariners in the 70s.
Currently, Pole is the pitching coach for the Cincinnati Reds. Despite
having the ultimate porn name, Pole chose a career in baseball and also chose
to go by Dick, which seems quite imprudent if you have the surname "Pole."
If there weren't enough penis allusions already swirling around this
pitcher, he became most famous for getting hit by a line drive in the head.
That's right, Dick Pole sustained a head injury. The ball broke his
jaw and Dick lost 90% usage of the vision in one eye. And what's a
Dick without his eye?
Finally,
a flatulence-related name. I was getting sick of all the dick stuff.
Dean Windass is a striker for Bradford City. The Englishman is known
around soccer for his foul play. And with a name like Windass,
foulness can only be expected. In November 1997, while playing
against Dundee United, Windass earned himself 3 red cards. And in
September 2006, Windass was accused of grabbing Cheltenham Town
player John Finnigan by the nuts during a game. Windass, which I
thought was the medical name of a condition I have from time to time, aims to be
the all-time goal scorer in Bradford City history. Though maybe a
dirty player, he certainly isn't a stinker.
Could
there be a better name for a female swimmer than Misty Hyman? Since she was a little girl, Hyman was always in the water
dreaming of swimming for the U.S. at the Olympics. Hyman broke out at
the 2000 Sydney Olympics when she won a gold medal in the 200m butterfly.
However, after her improbable victory, Hyman dropped off and failed to
qualify for the 2004 Athens games. Hyman has since disappeared from
Olympic swimming. She now teaches young swimmers proper stroke
technique and has released a
DVD called "Go Swim Butterfly with Misty Hyman." Just tell me the
time and the place.
1.
Rusty Kuntz
And
finally, the #1 Dirtiest Name in Sports (the second time around) is Rusty
Kuntz. Kuntz played outfield for the White Sox, Twins and Tigers from
1979 to 1985. Interestingly, the #1 name on the first dirty sports
countdown was Chubby Cox which is the male equivalent of the name Rusty
Kuntz. Both names feature adjectives modifying the plural form of a
dirty word for a sexual organ. With regard to the name Rusty Kuntz,
the adjective has dual meanings. The word "rusty" can mean "covered by
or affected by rust" or, the definition I prefer in this case: "having lost
agility or alertness; out of practice." When coupled with Kuntz, a
homophone of (let's get it over with) cunts, the name means an out of
practice vagina. And any guy reading this who has been married for a
while or who is dating a girl who has been single for a while, knows about
this phenomenon. As it is common to hear people say, "I'm a bit rusty
on the tennis court" or "My Spanish is kind of rusty", this former major
leaguer gives rise to an entirely new usage. Ladies, the next time you
meet a new guy and he's badgering you to have sex with him, smile at him
sweetly and tell him your cunt's a bit rusty.
