="Rockin' Doc":i5xqpmzo]Bobby Hebert (Bobby Joseph Hebert Jr) was an NFL QB from 1985-1996. He and Tolliver were both quaterbacks with the Saints, but they never actually were in New Orleans at the same time. Bobby Hebert was the Saints quaterback from 1985-1992 while Billy Joe Tolliver ended his career with the Saints in 1998 and 1999.
To the best of my knowledge, I don't remember Bobby Hebert ever being referred to as Bobby Joe Hebert.[/quote:i5xqpmzo]

Billy Joe Hobert was real, and he was fantastic. In the sense that he lead the team with a 68.9 QB rating.

Damn, great find. I have no recollection of Billy Joe Hobert. Please accept my humble apology for ever doubting the accuracy of your recollection. Of course, in my (and Edgy's) defense, the Saints of that era were pretty forgettable.

Match Game was a strange show. The contestant was almost entirely dependent on six coked-up, pill-woozy, past-their-prime celebs to come up with the same obvious punch line to the bad joke.
And Gene Rayburn had that really skinny microphone.

It's not really fair. Killers are intentionally reported by three names in the media in order to protect as many similarly named folk as possible.

I understand the reason. But Doc and I probably aren't the only folks who hear three names and think "killer".

Today, the most watchable dated game show ever. They even had the year in the title, like they knew it'd be a time capsule for absurdity.

I wonder how many of these are actually called two names by their friends? I would guess probably both of the Joe Dons --Looney and Baker. Probably Billy Bob Thornton. Johnny Cash's son John Carter Cash is actually called John Carter. But I'm guessing none of his buddies ever knocked on the door and said "can William Howard come out and play?"

It's always fun to listen to Russian politicians (or just Russians in general if you happen to know any) refer to each other by first & middle - but never last - names. It's a kind of formality designed to show how informal you are;
"ahh, my good friend Mikael Sergeiovich" the pols would say as they discussed Gorbechev, which was sort of code for; 'see how my informal address to him disguises how much I hate him'. The nicer they were usually meant the odds that tanks were on their way to surround your country estate just went up.
