I Know You Love Your Son, but Really????!!!!!!

by Kevin Zeni

While tracking the ongoing NFL draft on my computer today, I came across the name of the New Orleans Saints' fourth-round pick, wide receiver Nick Toon, out of the University of Wisconsin.

Yes, Nick Toon, like the famous television network widely known for such cartoon shows as "Rugrats", "Rocko's Modern Life" and "Doug."

While there have been countless unfortunate and sometimes hilarious names in sports... Dick Trickle, Coco Crisp, Milton Bradley, and Picabo Street immediately come to mind... this one truly stands out as one that the Toon family should have given some serious thought to before finalizing the paper work.

For Nick's sake, let's hope the Saints don't further embarrass him by giving him a jersey number that matches that of the local New Orleans' Nickelodeon station number.
