And now, in honor of the Final Four, and courtesy of someone who remembers Prince McJunkins, here is Deadspin's annual Name of the Year bracket, always one of Deadspin's great achievements and passed along here by a grateful Blob.
As with most things athletic (or not), 2018's names are bigger, faster and stronger than their back-in-the-day predecessors. With, of course, the notable exception of God Shammgod, member in good standing of the Name Hall of Fame.
Of course, there is a Mosthigh Thankgod on this list. So maybe God Shammgod gets a run here.
There is also, wonderfully, a Zeus de la Paz, a Miracle Crimes, a Jimbo Ghostkeeper and, for fans of Dark Ages history, an Early Charlemagne. Late Charlemagne, presumably, did not make the tournament, on account of being, well, late.
Enjoy.
