Wow.  This is even more amazing, and Sader's probably gnashing his teeth that he didn't think of it first.

Maybe a memorial opponent entry?  Inspired by Cougill, we were talking about James "Big Lumber" Eayrs tonight on the chat.
you remember him:
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_U9cpJ_ON_-Y/SWp21RboKpI/AAAAAAAAAR8/7OFoP0CbSsI/s320/BigLumberGB.jpg)
He was nicknamed "Big Lumber" by some ESPNU broadcaster. "Considering that Eayrs looks like Gerry McNamara after he's just eaten Glen Davis, this was a brilliant coinage.", said Deadspin.

run, matt howard.  run for your life.

WELL here is the kicker:  he wore the same jersey number as CHUBBY from TEEN WOLF!!

AND, to bring it back to OUR BOARD, THAT ACTOR also played the guy who says "Hey!  It's Enrico Pallazzo!" in the Naked Gun!
WEIRD

Thank you my friend, but I like Matt Carter's contributions today on the whole.  "He started it!!!"

Also like A3UGE's a lot, above, but careful, dude--someone might think/call you a racist ;)

Those are just awesome.  Absolutely love the Teen Wolf and Stay Puff references.  Boo on reminding me of the travesty that was Shawn Bradley's expensive Mavs career...

The actor's name is Mark Holton.
He also played John Wayne Gacy in the movie "Gacy."

That's...that's ...something.

I always used to think of the actors calling home,
"Mom?  Guess what?  Got a big guest-star role!  This is the big break!
...On NBC!
... You watch Law and Order SVU, right?
...No, not that one, the other one...no, not the one with Vincent D'Onofrio either...SVU. 
What?  ... well, um, I play a transsexual who strangles 5 year olds and then...Mom?  Mom???"

This team, aside from Coach Sloan/Busey, is a bit of a challenge to make fun of...
