Response to the Sunday Special:

As the Sunday Special: The Top Ten Dirtiest Names in Sports was included on Blogdome of Deadspin.com, naturally, I received a lot of feedback. The feedback was not lengthy, nor was it varied in topic. The emails I received regarding the post were pretty much all about one thing, or should I say, one guy. As Flumesday does not offer a forum for comments, I thought I would post a sampling of the emails I received to honor those who wrote in. Before I begin, I will say that it's not that I wasn't aware of the guy everyone wrote about and pictured to the left. It is just that, in the process of making a top ten list, it is impossible to include every single person with a dirty, filthy name. There will always be those who have been overlooked. And for that, I'm sorry. There's simply no excuse. But Chubby Cox is funnier anyhow.

He was a coach for a few years after that, I remember catching him on TV with the Marlins now and then. If the Tigers make the series, it's inevitable they'll roll out the last championship team at one of the games, which hopefully means they'll announce his name on TV.

Andy A. writes: I enjoyed your Top 10 List, but there was a glaring, or should I say, gaping, omission. American League outfielder for 8 eight years, ladies and gentlemen, now batting...RUSTY KUNTZ. Maybe it was too vulgar for your list, or perhaps it was just an oversight, but passing over Rusty is like a making list of "Best Gangster Rappers" and skipping NWA. Or a list of crazy dumb chicks with big cans, and forgetting Anna Nicole. Or...you get the idea.

While I do admit, he would have been a nice addition to the list, I believe his name, is pronounced KOONZ. Either way, thanks to those who responded to the list. And there will be more of them to follow.
