The following selection contributes nothing to society. It is, through and through, a waste of my time and yours. Still, there may be some underlying merit on what the best possible starting lineup of NFL players would look like if their performance was based on the value of their last names in Scrabble. They say a good football team knows about X’s and O’s. Well, this team knows about X’s, Q’s and Z’s. I shouldn’t go much further without publicly appreciating this generator, which I used to determine the scores of player’s names. It’s also where I got the graphics. But not the idea. (I’m beginning to think Chuck Woolery sent me a telepathic message. What can’t that man do?) In the end, I heavily considered starting a fullback (Chris Hetherington of the 49ers) but felt that my performance would be improved with a third wide receiver — Joe Jurevicius, because 22 always beats 19. Besides, even with a lead blocker, Obafemi Ayanbadejo can’t establish the run. So with Ryan Fitzpatrick as a gunslinger, he will be better suited with three wideouts and a tight end. I thought way too much into this, if you hadn’t noticed. Offense QB: Ryan , Rams (31) RB: Obafemi , Cardinals (23) WR: T.J. , Bengals (36) WR: Larry , Cardinals (24) WR: Joe , Seahawks (22) TE: Brian , Redskins (29) LT: Cory , Chargers (25)* LG: Joe , Browns (27) C: Scott , Patriots (35)** RG: Rich , Lions (25) RT: Joaquin , Colts (27) Defense DE: Bob , Steelers (27) DT: Ross , Cardinals (30) DT: Albert , Titans (23) DE: Kabeer -, Packers (26) LB: Isaiah , Seahawks (26) LB: Patrick , Broncos (24) LB: Brendan , Bears (23) CB: Chris , Texans (25) S: Kevin , Bengals (20) S: Jordan , Seahawks (20) CB: Mike , Saints (25) K: Sebastian , Raiders (28) P: Dustin , Chiefs (19) Head coach: Marty , Chargers (24) * - Tie broken by his brother Brad Lekkerkerker, because his first name was worth more. On a side note, the name “Lekkerkerker” is extremely fun to type on account of the repeating “ker.” Lekkerkerker. Lekkerkerker. Wheeeeeee! ** - Tie broken with his cousin Gene Mruczkowski, again because his first name was valued higher. This name, unlike Lekkerkerker, is not fun to type.
