Saw this on a Chicago sports site and thought it would be a fun off-season time killer. What are the worst names and best names for an athlete?
For worst I'll add Pats CB, Harry Colon.
For best we're starting our own list. I'll start it off with the Bears LB, Michael Stonebreaker
Here's the list from the Chicago site. Please add names as you see fit.

Parents often get too caught up trying to give their children a unique name. This usually ends up with a bunch of parents picking that same “unique” name at the same time, rendering the whole exercise a huge waste of time. Then there are these poor bastards.
8. Craphonso Thorpe – Sometimes combining two names into one first name is not such a good idea.
7. Milton Bradley – Talk about tarnishing a celebrated name.
6. Coco Crisp – Cereal is not that cool.
5. Ron Tugnutt - Ouch.
4. Karen Cockburn - Enter at your own risk (rubbers not included)
3. Dick Pole – You’re my hero.
2.Rusty Kuntz – I’m sure it’s not pronounced Cun…
1. Dick Trickle – He should be the spokesperson for Depends.
