ers of sele

Any top ten has some sort of explicit or implicit criteria. Wholesale Jerseys . Top ten dunks: flare, power, finesse, levity of the moment. Top ten goals: style, creativity, dare I say panache. With names the parameters of selection would seem subjective, but Ill boldly predict that I get a bunch of head-shakes with the proceeding list. 10) Rasmus Ristolainen – Finland World Junior Hockey Player The suffix “lainen” is as prevalent as the recent onslaught of “D”s and “L”s followed by apostrophes in basketball and football. The alliteration is nice, but giving it that extra boost is the hockey-punnable “risto”, like a wrist shot. And LOOK AT THE HAIR! 9) Barkevious Mingo – Cleveland Browns Another suffix gaining prominence – “ious”, “ius” or “eon” – Jadeveon Clowney (future NFL first-round pick), Latavius Murray (Oakland Raiders running back), Latavious Williams (former NBA second-round pick). The long “e” and “uh” that follows simply flow off the throat. Add the “bark” required of an angry linebacker with a unique surname and youre making the top 10. 8) Tie: Luke Kuechly (pronounced “keek-lee”) - Carolina Panthers, and Kiko Alonso - Buffalo Bills Coupled “k” sounds are kooky, cool and make a nice combination. 7) Starling Marte – Pittsburgh Pirates You got a first name that includes the word “star” and is a mix of “starlet” and “darling”. Nearly trumping the first half of his full name is the last name itself – you cant get any better than a non-French person with an accent aigu sound, even when there isnt actually an accent aigu there. 6) Chael Sonnen – MMA Fighter I suppose the UFC fighters prevalence as a loud mouth helped him garner the sixth spot. But reputation aside, “Chael” is a freaking fighters name. The composite syllables are punchy and fit the profile of a great pugilist. 5) Nerlens Noel – Philadelphia 76ers Theres that alliteration again. Also that French elegance of “Noel” kicks the former Kentucky superstar into our top five. 4) Anderson Silva – MMA Fighter Ive always had a thing for last names as first names: Brady Quinn, Carson Palmer, Carter Ashton, Cooper Manning, Connor McDavid, Grady Little, Harrison Barnes. 3) Kentavious Caldwell-Pope – Detroit Pistons When you add a hyphenated last name youve increased its brilliance potential by 50 per cent. Im pretty sure Kentavious fate to become a pro athlete was determined at the baby-naming, as I wouldnt foresee any Kentavious Caldwell-Popes working at the local Canadian Tire. 2) Johnny “Football” Manziel – Texas A&M A classic nickname for a guy who fits the bill. A superstar quarterback, playing for a team called the “Aggies” in a town called “College Station” – so beautifully old school. Rounding out the names appropriateness is the attitude off the field. The guy was invited to Peyton Mannings QB training camp for kids and (allegedly) got too drunk in New Orleans to fulfill his duties. The masses have jumped on Manziel for being too much of a partier, meanwhile every one of us would have done the same thing at his age. 1) Ha Ha Clinton-Dix – Alabama Football Does this really require an explanation? Cheap Jerseys . -- Jason Day, who tied for second at the Masters and U. Cheap NFL Jerseys . "Our level of work has to go up," said Carlyle on Thursday. "Weve stated that and weve (told) our players that the message is going to start to be delivered in a different manner if were not going to get the results that were looking for.BARCELONA, Spain -- Something is not right with Lionel Messi, according to Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino, after the Argentina forward appeared to vomit during an international friendly. The 26-year-old Messi doubled over during Argentinas 0-0 draw against Romania on Wednesday. Martino thought Messi had the flu before a 3-1 loss to Real Sociedad nearly two weeks ago. But the Argentine coach has changed his thinking since. "This is something hes had for quite some time. Im not a specialist and so far we havent figured out what is causing this, but this doesnt affect his play," Martino said on Friday. "But something is not right." Martino told a news conference that Messi had seen a specialist, which proved inconclusive. Despite this, Messi was included in the squad for Saturdays match at Valladolid. Midfielder Andres Iniesta will not play at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium after being left out for ppersonal reasons. Wholesale NFL Jerseys. Jordi Alba will also be missing as Martino does not want to "overwork" the Spain fullback going into Wednesdays Champions League home match against Manchester City. Center back Gerard Pique returns from injury against Valladolid. Defender Carles Puyol was also left out of the team after having announced his intention to leave his boyhood club at the end of the season. Martino suggested Barcelonas current squad was not deep enough to fill Puyols void next season, and it will need to tap the summer transfer market to find a centre back. "What I cant imagine is (Barcelona) signing a third or fourth-rate player. Barca doesnt sign such players," Martino said. "(Puyol) is the kind of player a club very rarely comes across. Footballers like these are irreplaceable." Barcelona trails Spanish league leader Real Madrid by one point in the standings. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
