    Shit, does that mean I wasted a draft pick in my fantasy league? Do I need to try to sign him off waivers?

    It's one thing to change your first name, but your last? Cripes.

    I hate stuff like that. I've never written A-Rod in a story, and I never will -- unless it's about how much I despise seeing that nickname in gamers.

    What place does a nickname have in a story anyway? Seems a little too familiar

    Seriously though, if it's his LEGAL fucking name now, that means we gotta write "I do not approve of my players lifting their legs and urinating on goal posts after a touchdown," Lewis said of Ocho Cicno's celebration following the Bengals' 44-7 defeat.
