Chief

Move over Robert Parish. There's a new "Chief" dominating the basketball courts these days.

I submit for your approval the ass-kicking-est name for an athlete anywhere ever: Grlenntys Chief Kickingstallionsims, Jr. (or Chief Kickingstallionsims for "short"). The 7-foot chief leads SWAC-champion Alabama State against Morehead State tonight in the NCAA tourney play-in game. I'm going to watch, simply because I wonder how they can fit his name onto a jersey.

The story: Chief Kickingstallionsims Fills Out His Dance Card. (I especially like the first comment on that blog: "Speaking of which, whatever became of that high school prospect, Medicineman Punchingdonkeygasms?")

Side note: On the eve of the men's NCAA tournament, you heard it here first: Duke over UConn in the championship. (With North Carolina and Michigan State rounding out the final four.) Also, going out on a limb on the women's side, I'll boldly predict UConn will complete their undefeated season. Hardly an unsafe bet, seeing as their average margin of victory is 31 points, and they haven't won by less than 10 points all year.
