Move over Ocho Cinco, another NFL player has been hit in the head a few too many times.

Bucs player changes name to Stylez G

Posted: December 16, 2008

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — He's still No. 91, but don't call him Greg White.

The second-year defensive end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has officially changed his name to Stylez G, White. A Hillsborough County Circuit Court granted his request Monday.

White said it wasn't that he didn't like his own name, but really liked the name of a character in the 1985 movie "Teen Wolf,’’ starring Michael J. Fox.

In the movie, Fox's friend is named Rupert "Stiles" Stilinski. White changed the spelling and adopted the name as his own.

Should be a damn good game tonight between the Boys and the Ravens. Both teams are 9-5 with playoff implications and it'll be interesting to see how Romo deals with the Ravens blitz packages.

I was just thinking the same thing. I'm a Steelers fan so I hate both teams equally, but it should be a helluva game. I like this football on Saturday night business, and it's a great bonus that it's a nice match up.

Word is the NFL has not made up their mind for next weeks flex schedule. They are waiting to see if both the Dolphins and Jets win this Sunday. If they do the NFL will close out next weeks Prime Time matchup between the J-E-T-S and the Phins at the Meadowlands. Whoever wins that game will clinch the AFC East and go to the Playoffs.

Now that was a thoroughly entertaining game to watch. Particularly the outcome.

The Boys lost that game for two reasons.

1) Forcing the ball to TO.

2) Cowboys D was atrocious late in the game. They gave up 2 long runs for TD's in the 4th that sealed the game for the Ravens.

That stiff arm by McClain on his TD run was just sick. Talk about "no soup for you!"

See the way TO pulled the CB back towards the LOS to get past him for the TD?

He's still one of their best playmakers.

Roy Williams isn't doing anything. Maybe with a full training camp. But with TO in the lineup, Romo is going to throw to him and Witten mostly.

Oh well Jerry has money to burn.

That's exactly what's going. TO felt threatened when they signed Roy Williams so he started crying to the press and because Romo is not one who likes confrontation starts to force the ball into TO which is why he got INT in the game. TO dropped some passes and botched a couple more. Last night TO got more looks than Roy Williams. The end result was 5 receptions for TO and 3 for Roy Williams.

This is the reason why Bill Parcells did not want TO the cancer on the team and Jerry Jones overruled. Look at the difference with the Dolphins. Chad Pennington spreads the ball around to his HB's, TE's and WR's. We all know an offense will have far better results when everyone is involved in the game.

Spot on Rodster.

Remember the Giants last year before and after Shockey got hurt?

I like TO right where he is.

When you can't stop the Chiefs, you may as well just pack it in. Dolphins season is about to be over. This is embarrassing.

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 3:25 pm

Agreed the Dolphins D forgot to show up today.

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 3:38 pm

28-24 Chiefs with 50 seconds left in the 2nd Qtr.

dbdynsty25 · Post by **dbdynsty25** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 5:00 pm

Well, can the Dolphins actually stop them now that they have the lead? Playoff lives at stake?

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 5:07 pm

The Dolphins are in the Chiefs red zone. So it looks good for a win. The Dolphins left some points on the field prior to half time.

That 4th down call was atrocious. Fine, go for it, but you need one yard and you throw a jump ball to the 3rd string TE? What the F was that?

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 5:13 pm

Oh no, Ricky fumbled the ball in the red zone . Chiefs ball with less than 2 minutes.

edit: Dolphins intercept game over.

Where the hell was Porter today? No tackles or sacks. It's looking like the Dolphins - Jets game will be moved to next Sunday night, that's if the J-E-T-S win today.

Rodster · Post by **Rodster** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 5:34 pm

Another damn good game tonight. Two 11-3 teams go at it.
