The Chiefs Sign A Real Pig

The Kansas City Chiefs announced the signing of safety Pig Brown, formerly of Missouri.  Brown is coming off of a ruptured Achilles’ tendon, so his availability and durability are a concern.  However, if he makes the team, he will provide two things:

 1.) Depth at safety with fellow rookie DeJuan Morgan.

2.) The opportunity for me to finally, finally, finally own a Chiefs jersey with the last name ”Brown”.  That may not mean much for you guys, but for me, it’s huge. I’ve been patiently waiting for a Kansas City athlete who’s first name isn’t “Emil” to have my last name so I could buy their jersey.

You would figure with the fourth-most common last name in the United States, then the odds would eventually be in my favor, right?  Not so much.  The Royals have had Emil, and the Chiefs have had Dee, but to my knowledge, that pretty much sums it up.  Not exactly the type of person I want to drop $100 for a jersey on.

It would be boss if Brown makes the team, and the NFL lets him do what Ichiro does in Seattle and just put “Pig” on the back of his jersey.  I would definitely buy that one.
