No, I won't "fix" the title -- figure it out your own selves.

Small changes to last name and it would be Sukbut.
Now that would be funny!

Aaaaaaaah ok, I thought the only funny thing about his last name was but.. pronounced it wrong. I stand corrected, Butkus is way funnier And I assume his first name starts with a D.

I won't say that the man's name is funny, mainly because I'm deathly afraid of him. Kind of ironic that the toughest man in the world has such a silly name.

Newcastle once had a player called Brian Pinas.

"Pinas slips one between the keeper's legs!!"

"Pinas achieving some penetration there!!"

"Pinas got in between them there!!!"

Luckily he wasn't good enough to make the 1st team.

I feel sorry for him-why doesn't he change his name? As a kid he was probably made fun of every minute of the day until he got big and strong.

I assume Messrs. Butkus and Trickle are both actually named Richard, which means **** was actually chosen at some point over Rick or Rich as a diminutive, and they kept even as adults. Brave, brave men.

We've got a TV guy named Guy Pines but it actually is pronounced "Guy Penis".

And I've already mentioned the Israeli singer Uzi Hitman, didn't I?

Butkus was one of my all-time favorite players to watch. He was fast, as strong as a lineman and had great ability to read a play and get himself into the middle of it in a good way. He was also very physical, and mean. I saw him shoot a gap one day which the fullback was covering while the halfback took the ball and headed for an off-tackle run. Butkus picked up the fullback and threw him into the backfield, in the process knocking down the halfback for a 5 yard loss.
