Rico Ranks : 5 (Wrong) Names To Be Called That Are Much Worse Than Tyler

I saw this clip from The Pat Bev Pod, which is all over the timeline because they have a dynamic chemistry and Pat Bev talks openly about a ton of different things in the league. Additionally Rone could make reading the newspaper entertaining, so the show was destined to be a slam dunk, pun intended. 

I grew up a Duke fan (which helped me nail Durham as a final answer in The Dozen Championship) ,and Jay Williams was maybe the best player I ever saw put on a uniform, and one of my favorites to ever do it. For the kids reading and unfamiliar ... he was a walking bucket. Filthy. 

Heartbreaking he lost his career to injury and we never really got to see him play professionally. 

When I saw he was the guest, I instantly wanted to listen. He told some great stories, spoke about NIL etc. Maybe the funniest moment of the whole thing was Jay getting mixed up by the screen (screen names?) and mistakenly calling Rone Tyler. Rone's such a good guy he rolled with the punches until Pat finally called him out on it. 

Karl Anthony Towns even had some fun with it recently, and called Rone Tyler as well. 

It got me to thinking … what are some names that would be the worst for someone to think is yours, and that you would have to go with ? Let's say your boss, or a boss of a different department, or a girlfriend's scary uncle … thought your name was __ and you never had the balls to correct them. A true Lance/Landry dilemma like in Friday Night Lights or the time Chandler rolls with a guy in his company calling him Toby because he refuses to correct him. 

If you had to roll with the punches and make whatever someone thought was your name… your name, what would be the worst ones. Here's my rapid fire list. 

5- Michael 

I don't hate the name, it's actually probably the most popular male name out there, I just think if someone mixes you up and calls you Mike it means they have shown they don't give a shit about learning it and have decided you are worth a generic name only. 

4- Chad 

Remember when Chad's were a thing ? Now you have to roll with that ? Sucky

3- Terry

Tough name… seems like most people with it are hotheads. 

2- Dick 

It's bad enough he got your name wrong, now it just sounds like he's also insulting you. 

1- Adolf 

No explanation needed. 

Go check out The Pat Bev Pod and support Rone and everyone on it doing great things.
