Official ASFN name Wells poll

[Cardinals.Ken]

Where the choice to call him Walter Payton?

 

[Vermont Maverick]

Is this even a question? When he left the pre-draft visit, Coach Whis asked him what he wanted to be called, so that "when we drafte you, we we will know." He responded "Beanie".

In fact, when Roger Goodell announced: "The NFC champion Arizona Cardinals select...Chris Wells", for a split second I was trying to figure out who this "Chris Wells" guy is.

 

[nooch]

call him the 2009 Offensive Rookie of the year-

I like this one the best

Here's another question: Why does Shane care more about this than Beanie does?

 

[Gee!]

Answer my questions then? Why did he introduce himself as Chris Wells on the conference call? Not Chris Beanie Wells Or Beanie Wells? How come when he was asked what he preferred to be called he specifically stated "either name is fine with me" completely refutes what you stated in your original post.

As far as the Babe? You have no freaking clue if anyone called him George back in the day. Fans did, media did obviously. But neither you or anyone else around he knows if his close friends and family referred to him as George. Do you? If you do how do you know that?

On ch 12 last night the first question in the interview was.. So what would you like to be called? Chris? Beanie? he said he would like to be called Beanie.. Case closed..

I dunno, but its kinda taking on the life as when Frazier refused to call Clay, Ali..

 

[Gee!]

Heres the video where he says Beanie is what he likes.. From last nights news at his press introduction conference.. Straight from the mans smiling mouth..

The Man wants to be called Beanie. Who are we to say, what he should be called. But if I were marketing the team, I would make a beanie hat with a spinning wheel. With Logos on both sides!

Hmmmmm.....

Beanie.

It's what he's gone by and been called most of his life so that's his "name" so to speak.

Nobody calls Bubba Franks "Daniel Franks"

Nobody calls Babe Ruth "George Ruth"

But we never got to call Ahmad Carroll, Batman Caroll...... I feel cheated.
