Crimson Tide fans welcome their new son, Crimson Tide
Alabama fans show their unique and undying obsession with the Crimson Tide in many creative ways: Detailed reproductions of cherished moments, carefully worded stays of justice in trials, elaborate full-body tattoos, Bear Bryant-based reinterpretations of Shakespeare, offering infants to be autographed, etc. And, though they can't pass on their love via DNA (yet; the state's best gene therapists are working around the clock), they can brand their offspring with 'Bama-themed names, as the Witts of Hartselle, Ala., did with both of their boys, Tyde and Saban, in 2005 and 2007.
Not to be outdone in their devotion, J.L. and Jackie Redd of Tallassee, Ala., took the next step in January by introducing their son, Crimson Tide Redd, to the world:
The young couple made an agreement before their son's birth that J.L. could be in charge of naming the baby, wanting to use his last name, Redd, as inspiration.
"His family was extremely excited (about the name choice)," Jackie said.
"Her family couldn't understand why we'd name our child after a football team," J.L. said.
(Her family's choice? Deacon Blues.)
The new mother admits young Crimson "does already have a lot of Alabama stuff," but lest you get the idea he's destined to become the Todd Marinovich of lunatic fandom, the parents entertain no such intentions or fears. They're going to call the boy "Ty," and J.L. insists he isn't going to push his son to Tuscaloosa when Ty inevitably grows up to become a highly sought Division I prospect: "If (Auburn) offers him a scholarship, then I'll be happy for him to go there. We don't have plans to tell him who to be a fan of."
Well, obviously not. That's what the birth certificate is for. And the crimson wallpaper, and the houndstooth bedsheets, and the Jay Barker nightlight, and the "Rammer Jammer" jack-in-the-box with Mark Ingram as the clown ...
kid better hit the weights, J.L. just painted a target on his back for every Auburn kid in Alabama to want to kick his ass on the playground.
""On a lonely planet spinning its way toward damnation amid the fear and despair of a broken human race, who is left to fight for all that is good and pure and gets you smashed for under a fiver? Yes, it's the surprising adventures of me, Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar!"
"
Maybe it's time we just go ahead and stop caring about football. This is getting not only ridiculous but downright embarrassing. Between Mantittygate, L'Affair Walmart and now this, if I'm Bama fan, I'd rather we'd remained meh...and well out of the national spotlight.
We all oughtta just pull an mvscal and be completely oblivious to football, then buy our team bedspread come November of the odd excellent season.
Seriously though, I am considering naming my kid (he's on the way) George Brett. The problem is I'm not really a big fan of the name "George". Also considered John Hayden (after John Hayden Fry). The problem with that is my name is Jon (short for Jonathan). Would be kinda odd to have a child named "John".
My wife is actually cool with me wanting to do this because she knows these were my idols growing up. I actually do like the name Nile Kinnick. I think that would be a cool name to have. But since Kinnick is long before my time I won't consider that.

Both of my kids are named after former Iowa athletes, one football player and the other a basketball player. We are close friends of their families and watched both of the athletes grow up. I considered Ryne Sandberg for my son but my wife vetoed that idea....along with Ernie Banks.

This explains the mass earthquakes, plagues, etc. Next will come the frogs and rivers turning to blood.
All kidding aside, congrats JON. We've got the first little Killian on the way as well. My wife gets to pick the name if it's a girl, I get it if it's a boy. If it is a boy, he'll be named after my father.

How about Seven?
I got an 18x24 b/w photo of the George Brett scrum at home plate during the Pine Tar incident. Freaking epic.

You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.

rack your wife, naming your kids after players from a LOSER org is pretty lame.

If you're going to name kid after an Iowa athlete, how about Denise Long? Long John Tardovich.

Ryno managing in Des Moines now! Definitely gonna go see some I-Cubs games this year. Usually don't get to many, but with Ryno managing it might be worth it. I saw a billboard over on the East side advertising Ryno. Not sure why you put it over there. Not too many East siders can even afford the free tickets you can always snag to just about any I-Cubs game. Hell, I can't remember the last game I actually paid for. Probably when I was a kid.

Yeah, I've seen that. The better George Brett video is from last year when he went off on people cricizing Trey Hillman. It was taken by some local reporter during a golf outing. He went on a cussing spree. Pretty funny shit. Funny, but he's wrong in his support of SABRETrey. The guy is a dumbass and a horrible manager. No one can defend this retard. Well, except George I guess.
