After ODing on sports last week, realized pro bassin’ needs better names and nicknames. Every sport has better ones dang it! Examples:

Football — Jabrill Peppers, Daunte Culpepper, Lynn Swann, LaDainian Tomlinson, Ray-Ray McCloud, Greer Martini, etc.

Baseball — Catfish Hunter, Skye Bolt, Scooter Hightower, Coco Crisp, Kevin Quackenbush, Socrates Brito, etc.

Shoot, there’s cooler names in every other sport, even track: Usain Bolt.

Then there’s nicknames. Check this:

Football has a Booger and we don’t?? Sure we’ve got a Skeet, but that’s a couple letters short of the more bassin’ “Skeeter.” Plus we don’t have classic southern nicknames like Cletus or even Bubba. Pee-wee? Anyone?

Does bassin’ have any cool names? (Swindle? Ish?) Did we ever?? Hit me back by replying to this email with the best bassin’ names you ever heard of (and where if they’re local dudes) and I’ll put together the list on BassBlaster.rocks. OT Fears!

…or an alternative. I mean come on, everyone with 60 bucks looks just like an Elite pro. Not sure what the next step is but here are some ideas:

Match the uni, like football does and lacrosse:

Wear what wrestlers wear! This one was commissioned for Dave Mercer:

At the very least some random jersey, like this one designed by I believe Randy Howell — that true Howell? If so, it KILLS bro!

Like I said — not sure what the next step is but it has to be something.

The Vikes’ Cordarrelle Patterson be man-crushin’ Randy Moss on the socks:

In bassin’ we have Andy Montgomery with Farm to Feet socks…which are dang good socks but don’t look as cool:

A giant rulebook. Does it need better rules in certain cases? Yep. Does it need more rules here and there? Yup. But the NFL is getting killed by rule multiplication (plus front-office incompetency). Just think if the Elites had NFL rules:

No excessive fish-catch celebrations:

No conflicting sponsors, like the MLFers made it:

No truck bigger than the commish’s truck. Oh wait…we don’t have a commish. Okay, no truck bigger than Jerry McKinnis’. Sell it Skeet!

No instant replay. Wait…we don’t have that either.

NFL players WISH they could be in bassin’…except, you know, for the difference in $$$.

Whachoo theen Treep?

BB bass-head TC Adams fishes outta what he calls a Water Wagon. My only question: Is it…Water Tight??
