Isn't there a baseball player called Pujols, that sounds very much like "poo holes"? That's pretty distinctive.

There was an offensive lineman that played for BYU and then the Cowboys named Glen Titensor, pronounced "Tight n' sore."

How'd you like to be Mrs. Titensor?:twisted:

Then there's Ryan Succop of the Kansas City Cheifs. Pronounced "Suck-up."
