Arkansas had a centerfielder on last year’s baseball team named Tavian Josenberger. That’s a cool name. Sounds like a general from the Holy Roman Empire.

Fullerton had a center fielder back in 2011 named Austin Kingsolver. Arizona State had an outfielder named Rocky Laguna back in 2005.

And we can’t forget LSU basketball legend Magnum Rolle.

He heaved a basketball into the upper reaches of the Assembly Center when LSU eliminated Memphis from the NCAA tournament back-in-the-day.

Here is one - Mike Stonebreaker who played for the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints. It just sounds tough.


You must be young since you didn't mention his dad, Thornton Steve Stonebreaker, who played for the Vikings, Colts and Saints.

Magnus ver Magnussen

Joe Buck would be a cool name if it wasn't wasted on Joe Buck.

My son wrestled in the Louisiana Club State tournament yesterday, at weigh in Friday evening, he was last to weigh in. There was a little 45#r from North Desoto’s club, that weighed in just before whose name was Memphis Jones. I was like Memphis Jones, man, that’s the coolest name I’ve ever heard.
