I don't start too many threads, but myself and a few of my mates at work have been having a blast the past few days at work, telling stories of people jacking-up athletes names. Being I live in Vegas, I bet on sports quite a bit, as do a lot of my co workers. Usually at some point of the morning 5-6 guys come by our office ( I share with another guy), and we chew on the games from the night before and discuss what games we like that current day. One of our crew happens to be my boss, and he is constantly butchering athletes names.
On Monday he comes by our office and immediately hops into how lucky Duke was to get Zion Wilson. Each time a member of the crew popped in, he would break into "I can't believe Zion Wilson chose Duke". Nobody called him out on Monday, but yesterday one of the guys told him that Zion's last name was Williamson. He replied with "yeah I know".
Today he poked his head in our office and asks me how much I thought Zion Williams weighed. "It's Williamson, and probably around 270lbs", I replied. After he left our office, my buddy and I laughed at how Zion's last name had went from Wilson to Williams.
The topper to the story came late this afternoon when our boss stopped by once again, to tell us he was leaving. He picked up the wooden bat in the corner and started swinging it, so we started to bust his chops, "you can't hit", "you never played baseball", to which he replied "shit, I was the right handed version of John Krunk". He pronounced it KRUNK. (He meant John Kruk, 1st baseman of the Phillies in the 90's) We were in stitches, both of us losing our breath from laughing so hard. After watching us laugh uncontrollably for 30-45 seconds, he put the bat back in the corner and said "something is wrong with you two, I'm going home". We couldn't even say goodbye because we were laughing so hard.
Any of you guys have a story of a friend, co worker, or family member that is constantly butchering athletes names?
