About me: Fast as fast can be, you'll never catch me. Unless of course there's a stupid tailwind. God damn Mother Nature.
For those of you hoping I wear gold shoes like Michael Johnson in the '92 games, I have a simple answer: NO. Also, how come you didn't ridicule Michael Johnson for having a funny name. You know, "Johnson".
Do what I do kid - whenever someone makes fun of your name, kick the ever living shit out of them. If they keep mocking you, bite off one of their fingers, dip it in ranch dressing and eat it in front of their friends. Works like a charm.
Well, off to the My Two Dad reunion.
We're getting close to the big 3 week event, Tyson. Remember: passion, endurance, patriotism. P-E-P.
And don't let the hecklers get you down. It's like I always told Christian: those who cast the gay stones are interested in seeing you nude in the locker room. That's what I believe anyway.
Nothing is quite like hearing a sexually suggestive name called to the medal ceremony when you realize it's your sexually suggestive name they're calling. Good luck.
Hey, sometimes people call me Tony "Homo" because it sounds like Romo. That sort of makes us like brothers!! Well, not brothers but certainly enough for us to be friends!!! LOL Don't be a stranger.
For what it's worth, I'd rather have a last name that makes people think that I like dudes than a last name that makes people think I'm the devil. Suck it up.
At least neither of you are named "Randall" with a last name like ours. Only reason I'm playing football is because it stopped me from getting my ass kicked when I was a kid.
I just thank god that I was around before people decided that a certain bedroom move should be named after me. In my day, it was just "one in the pink, two in the stink"
My strategy was to simply grow out a huge ponytail for two reasons - 1.) it's just so ugly it's distracting from my name and 2.) when it fans out, you can't see the name on my jersey. You should try it, you'd look sharp with a ponytail.
