Saints Sign Al Toon’s Son Nick Toon
Yes, former New York Jets receiver Al Toon named his son Nick Toon. Nick is a rookie receiver who was drafted by the New Orleans Saints. They just agreed on a contract.
Mostly I’m posting this news because the name Nick Toon made me chuckle. To be fair to Al, who my kids are aware of thanks to a game of Jets Monopoly we have in our house, I don’t think Nicktoons was a thing back when Nick Toon was born in 1988. So it’s not as bad as, say, naming your kid Roc when your last name is Singer. Which I never, ever considered doing.
(Aside: I’m more of a Giants fan, but I don’t hate the Jets. I do, however, want to point out that Jets Monopoly was a gift.)

Good Sportsmanship in the Giants Packers Game

NFL Player Promotes Literacy Using Justin Bieber Graphic Novel
When we received a press release telling us that an NFL player was promoting literacy using the Justin Bieber Graphic Novel, we had to post it. Because it’s for a good cause. And it’s a chance to mention Justin Bieber. And comic books.
We have nothing against Justin Bieber personally. We will say that we are glad we have boy children and therefore are not forced to listen to Justin Bieber’s music, or see the Justin Bieber movie. (I keep mistyping Bieber’s name as Justin Biever. I wonder how often that happens?)
My New Favorite word: Unmanning
I have a new favorite word. Unmanning.
Never heard it before? Well, it does not mean “one who is unlike Peyton, Eli or Cooper Manning.” (I had to put Cooper in there. Not that he seems to mind not playing in the NFL. )
