NFL Teams Seek More Silly-Named Players ATLANTA (DPI) - The Atlanta Falcons are among the growing number of NFL teams releasing many veteran players in hopes of assembling more colorful rosters. According to an announcement made by Head Coach Dan Reeves, only Jay Feely, Kynan Forney, Derek Rackley, Sam Rogers, Doug Johnson and Todd Weiner will be retained. "We've been having a pretty lousy season and quite frankly, the only reason people come to our games is to hear the announcers say the names of some of our players," said Reeves. "We have the highest concentration of suggestively named guys in the NFL, so we may as well capitalize on that. So if any of you out there have a name like Schitt or Bloamy, please contact the Falcons' front office." The Falcons are not alone, with at least half a dozen other teams making similar silly-name player moves, including St. Louis' recent acquisitions of linebacker Michael Poop and Jermaine Hernia, and Seattle's trading for wide receiver Brian Boobs. Players expected to command top dollar on the free-agent market during the off season include DeMarcus Faggins (Houston), Damien Woody (New England), Reggie Tongue (Seattle), Marc Bulger (St. Louis) and Nate Hobgood-Chitt (Kansas City).
