What's in a Name?


The star of Spain's soccer team Atletico Madrid is named Jorge Resurreccion - he has his team in first place. They seem to win every third day which has the Las Vegas oddsmakers scratching their heads.

Then there is Andrew LUCK - what a name! The quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts who brought his team from 28 points down to win a playoff game. His name has one syllable, fits nicely on the marquee, has a Stanford resume and is handsome as heck. And he is on the way to make those Hoosiers forget Peyton Manning.

The star of the Syracuse basketball team is C.J. FAIR but rather than fair his playing has been superb to help his team to current 14-0 record.

But here I sit with a name symbolizing a "horse-shooer" whose only claim to fame was a solo rendition of the Anvil Chorus. However, lest we forget "For the want of a nail the shoe was lost and for the want of a shoe the race was lost." Perhaps, with a FAIR amount of LUCK my reputation might be RESURRECTED.
