Fancy Yancy


As if you needed yet another reason to tell me I have no life, I've discovered a new one...

As I was watching Brandon Marshall rack up catch after catch and absolutely destroy Maurice Jones Drew in the stats column, I flipped around the DTV football package and took a quick look at the Kansas City Chiefs game.


We won't mention the fact that Larry Johnson stinks (Ha-Ha, Dtz), but we will mention the fact that the starting quarterback's name is Tyler Thigpen. Who?! Yeah, that's what I said. But, here's the really scary thing. I can actually name two other people who have the name Thigpen. Now, I know three. For some reason that disturbs me.


Yancey Dirk Thigpen (born August 15, 1969 in Tarboro, North Carolina) is a former professional American Football wide receiver who played for the San Diego Chargers (1991), the Pittsburgh Steelers (1992–1997), and the Tennessee Oilers/Titans (1998–2000). Before his NFL career, he played for Winston-Salem State University.


Robert (Bobby) Thomas Thigpen (born July 17, 1963 in Tallahassee, Florida) is a former relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. He is noted for setting the major league record of 57 saves during the 1990 season, which has since been broken by Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pitcher Francisco Rodriguez[1]. He is currently the manager of the Bristol White Sox.


What does any of this have to do with Fantasy Football? Nothing. That's why I posted it. Yeah, I have no life.
