The other day I saw a tweet about USC quarterback Sam Darnold regarding his family history in athletics. Anything stand out?
If you are as immature as me, the name “Dick Hammer” made you laugh like an eight year old who just heard a fart in church. So this got me thinking…what are some of the worst names in sports? Que the list below.
Dick Hammer
He was actually a college basketball player and US Olympic volleyball player, but his name is easily the best thing about him.
Rusty Kuntz
My personal favorite. I don’t think I’ll ever not laugh at this name.
Dick Trickle
Not sure what’s worse: his name or the fact he does NASCAR
Dick Pole
And he was a Bust… 0 for 2.
Stubby Clapp
Stubby is clearly a nickname, but why call yourself that? You might as well just stuff yourself in the locker for the bully.
Steve Sharts
Not even a joke here, Sharts is just hilarious, sorry Steve.
Dick Butkus
If my last name was Butkus, I’d probably stick with Richard.
Dick Shiner
Dude, have somewhat of a clue.
Johnny Dickshot
Sounds more like a nickname for somebody who gets hit in the balls a lot.
Chubby Cox
Yeah, why not.
Destinee Hooker
Her parents definitely didn’t look too deep into this one when they chose the name.
Kyle Sackrider
When you have a last name like that, your only option is to give your kid a normal name like Kyle. Smartest parents on this list so far.
Phyllis Mangina
I can hear it now: “Phyllis has a mangina, Phyllis has a mangina”
If you know any other horrible names, comment them below. Hopefully the list here is just the beginning…
