Uberfluff

I'm a Ravens fan.  Since I am married to a Browns fan, I know better than to gloat or whine about football-related things, as there are few sports cities as uniformly and consistently screwed as Cleveland.

Yesterday, however, I was watching the game, and noticed that the quarterbacks involved were named "Joe" and "Sage."  Knowing nothing at all about the team records, stats, or anything else, there is no way that a QB named Joe is not going to outperform a QB named Sage.  Joe is a good quarterback name (along with Dan, John, Steve, etc.).  Sage is a good name for . . . um . . . herbs, wizards, and 5 year-olds.  Honestly, I think that his parents took a good 5 points off of his quarterback rating by naming him Sage.

Of course, it's possible to go too far the other way.  Colt Brennan's parents are lucky that he turned out to have athletic ability, because I'm not sure what you can be besides a professional athlete with a name like Colt.  I suppose you could also be a preppy jackass lawyer.  But becoming a neurosurgeon is definitely out of the running.

Oh, and could all new parents please do me a courtesy and stop naming your children (boy or girl) Logan?  It's giving me major Wolverine-related confusion.
