• Caught on Tape: Padres’ Brian Giles Slaps Girlfriend

I wonder about some people. And in this case, it’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Greg White. Oh, I’m sorry, that’s not his name any longer.

Now I can understand in some cases why people would want to change their names. For instance, some people do it for religious reasons, see Muhammad Ali. While others may do it because their parents had too much coffee in the delivery room and decided to give them a name like “Jacques Strap“.

Well, Mr. White has now officially changed his name to Stylez G. White. Sound familiar? If you’re a product of the 80’s, then you should know that Stylez was the best friend of Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf. Although the character’s name was Rupert “Stiles’’ Stilinski, lets give White some credit for changing it up a bit.

White’s reason for changing his name? He’s just always liked the name. Fantastic.

Great reasoning. I like the name Seymour Butz. Time to take the necessary steps. Momma is gonna be so proud.
