<![CDATA[Eric Mangini Fun Facts]]>From Wikipedia

Mangini is also known for naming his children after important figures in his career as a professional football coach. His son Zack was born on Brett Favre's 39th birthday, and Mangini had promised Favre that he would name his son after the quarterback should he choose to sign with the Jets. As such, Mangini's third son is named Zack Brett.

In addition, his first son, Jake Harrison, is named after New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison, and his middle child is named Luke William after Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

And that's if it was a girl.

For me though, the feeling Mangini'll get when he looks at young Zack Brett and know that child's namesake got him fired makes me all warm inside.

I've seen much worse ways to name kids and using William is hardly going out on a limb. Can't say this changes my opinion of him.

I have also heard he called out his son's namesake on game film, and Favre despised it as he hasn't been questioned about any football decision in years. So, it seems at least he isn't a suck-up.

(Note, I have a friend with the last name of "Fields" and he's seriously considering "Wrigley" for the baby on the way.)

OK. this might be a little OT, but Wrigley Fields would rate in my book. When I was working in a local hospital one of the supervisors kept a book of names you shouldn't give your kid. I swear on a stack of bibles I'm not making any of these names up.

First off the Armed forces-

Admiral Foster

Sergeant Sergeant

General Grant

And some of the rest of the more memorable ones-

Candi Barr

Shade Bush

Perfect Champagne- who named her kid "Dom Perignon"

Oy...why do people not realize that it's their kids who have to go around with the names they give them, and not them?

Dennis

People name their kids "Wrigley" and "Dakota" when they can't spell "Loquisha."

Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow...but someday, when lil' Brett throws three INTs to lose a game for his Pee Wee League team, and for the rest of his life.

Dennis

I bet Mrs. Mangini met him at the door after he got fired with the kid in her arms and a "Great job, knucklehead" look on her face.
