BEN JOHNSON FIRED!!!

[jersey cubs fan]

Minnesota Gophers basketball version 

 

Kind of reminds you what an uphill battle the Bears version faces to go down in history. The only similarly generic sounding name to be remembered as an all time great is probably Bill Walsh, and I’d guess many of the younger generation of NFL fans have no idea who he is. Our Ben may need 4 super bowls

I think JJ is unique enough even if there is/was a race car driver with a variant of that name. Maybe if Ben went by Benny it would help.
 

Phil Jackson has what, a dozen championships? I think everybody knows which Phil Jackson you speak of when you mention his name. I know there are some writers with that name that used their middle name to stand out.

Wait are we doing generic names or specifically "many famous people with that specific name"

 

If it's confusing same names I like that there is a reality TV producer Morgan Freeman (uses his middle initial J).  Always makes me chuckle though.

Just pointing out our hero coach has a boring ass mayo name 

 

Johnson is probably second to only Smith for common surnames, and Ben is just a plain old boring name. I have a small office with three of them. 
 

There ain’t a lot of Halas, Belichik, Parcells or, Shulas in the world. 
 

at least JJ has the alliteration and nicknamey first name. What I’m saying is he needs to go by Benny, Bengy, Benji, Benjamin or at least BJ if he wants to be remembered.
 

Or win 6 super bowls.

BJ it is
