I shook my head in amazement when I saw a new Charles Schwab commercial
this past weekend, with Minnesota Vikings receiver CHRIS Carter giving
investment advice.
Watch for it this weekend... see if they've corrected the misspelling.
Sigh...

Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level, then beat
you with experience.
I just want to know who in fantasy football is misspelling this guys name, let
alone even mentioning him?
Steve Foz, Red Meat, PFFL

Cool - I thought it was just me who saw that on Sunday. When his name
popped up, my first thought was "hey - that's Cris, not Chris!". I sure
hope they spelled his name right on his paycheck.
Course, they get Dikembe Mutombo's name spelled right on his commercial.

Please enlighten us as to where you found this out. Every source I have
seen spells his name Watters.

I always knew how to spell it. Of course, I've been a Buc fan
since 1976, which helps immensely in learning Buc player names. How
about the Kicker who Igwebuike took over for: Obed Ariri --
translated roughly as "God only knows."
Another name: Adam Vinatieri
I often see it spelled as Vinateri or Viniateri.

Igwebuike was not arrested for child molesting. It might be
Septian -- I don't know. Igwebuike was arrested on suspicion of drug
trafficking, but authorities then admitted they goofed, cleared him of
the charges, and apologized for arresting the wrong guy. This was all
after he retired from football.
