I was practicing in the “Ice City” of Yellowknife, when Bigred1580 comes to me and tells me that there’s another Leaf in Canada. In Winnipeg, Ryan Leaf Jr is an owner of the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Club, A team who still hasn’t won a Stanley cup yet, oh wait, they sent me footage of their cup [url=[iframe width=\\\"560\\\" height=\\\"315\\\" src=\\\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/https://youtu.be/6n3pFFPSlW4\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" allowfullscreen][/iframe]]Cup Footage [/url] He tells me that the other leaf says his team is the best in the SHL, (He doesn’t know the legend of the Houston Saiyamen). Everyone knows I’m something of a hockey player myself, just check out this footage!

Winnipeg is a rather fine city, at one point the Wraiths almost moved here, but a new stadium was needed to be constructed to support the team. I mean c’mon, Yellowknife is a good random location! I went to see a CSFL game between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Toronto Admirals, Winnipeg won 34-31. They play more the DSFL levels of play, and that they don’t have a meme player like me, however, leaf’s wife Videl was spotted playing for Winnipeg, and of course, not in uniform, but her stupid Saiyawoman outfit (look it up).

The tree's branch dipped slowly beneath my weight, and his kitchen came into view. I shuffled a bit closer to the end and the limb lowered a bit more. Almost there! Just a little further... Perfect! I now had a full view of Guy Nikko's living room. And there he was, sitting on the couch watching.. Ryan Gosling.. is that The Notebook? So he even likes watching romance movies? He just gets dreamier and dreamier. I reached into my bag to take out my disposable camera I'd bought at a little souvenir shop earlier and pointed it toward the window. Click. Oh my god this was so perfect! I hope my heart isn't beating so fast it makes the photos blurry. Maybe I should take some deep breaths just in case. In. Out. In. Out. Okay, now we'll try again. Click. Click. Crack. Wait, crack? That's not the sound the camera maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.........

"Ughhh." My head was killing me. I needed to get up, make sure I'm still alive.

"Oh, are you awake now?" My eyes shot open. I'd heard that voice before. On television countless times and most nights before I went to bed. I was definitely no longer outside. In fact, I was lying down on a plush bed with Guy Nikko in a chair right beside me. I tried to speak but all that came out was a strange, breathy sound.

"Don't force yourself," Guy said, "You're pretty lucky I heard that tree branch break and went out to see what had happened." He moved to get up. "I'm going to grab some more ice for your ankle"

I myself had realized my head wasn't my only injury. My ankle had ice and one of my hips was definitely bruised. "Wait!" I tried to shout but it came out more like a squeak, "Did you look inside my bag?"

"I did." Guy turned back and a flicker of amusement danced across his face. "It's nice to meet you... Gal Nikko."

Written Option: I’m going out on a limb with this one so here it goes. There is another person in this world that shares your name. Some super random ordinary guy. Like how would it feel to be a 50 year-old postman named Tom Brady. Describe your namesake's day to day life, job, and/or how he feels to share a name with an NSFL or DSFL superstar.

Ah yes the other Corvo Havran. We do not often speak about this other Havran much, but I guess you want to know about them now. Corvo recently learned he has a namesake that lives in the Czech Republic and is about of the same age as him. However this Corvo Havran is not a sport athlete, but a stripper in a female club in Prague and is appertnly quite a big name in the male stripper scene.

So much that one day Corvo received a message from this other Corvo, having a laugh at their namesakes. The two messaged each other back and forth a bit and got to know each other. Havran even invited Corvo to come over to Tijuana to join a practice and come watch a game. Havran accepted happily and flew over and the two had a great day around the city and arena.

Havran has now promised Havran that he will come and visit him at his job in Prague next time he is over in the Czech Republic.

Recently hackers hacked in the Tijuana Luchadores website and replaced Corvo's picture with that of stripper corvo which lead to a massive wave of views, before it was taken down again.

I had the pleasure of meeting the man who shares my exact same name. Not only does he go by "AJ Lattimer" normally, but "AJ" also stands for "Aaron Jr.", meaning that our fathers have the same name too! It really is quite the coincidence, especially if you consider how different our backgrounds are.

I'm from Newark, New Jersey, a real city dude, African-American, and a big fan of hip-hop and R&B. This AJ is from rural Iowa, grew up on a farm, white, and he listens to country music and classic rock. We are about as opposite as it gets, but we are more similar than we thought. We are both devout Christians, hard workers, had similar money troubles growing up, and share a love of football. It was a great experience to be able to connect with him and get to know how he lives in such a different situation.

After his father passed a few short years ago, AJ took over the family farm. He's a 37 year old true farm boy, isn't afraid to get his hands dirty, and has that farmer's strength that nearly matches mine. Every week he drives 45 minutes to the nearest small city with his wife and two sons to get the essentials - groceries, replacement parts for his equipment, clothing, and whatever else they need until their next trip. He watches college football every Saturday and pro football every Sunday during the season, and he became an instant fan of mine when he learned that I shared his name and was playing for his favorite team in his home state. I only came into contact with him a couple of years ago, but we have remained in touch ever since. As long as I play, it feels great knowing that I have a lifelong fan, and friend, in my corner.

Like how would it feel to be a 50 year-old postman named Tom Brady. Describe your namesake's day to day life, job, and/or how he feels to share a name with an NSFL or DSFL superstar.

I have to say that I was absolutely shocked when I heard that someone else in the world was named Johnny Slothface. The Johnny part I get, but Slothface? I have never met anybody outside of my family with the same last name as me, let alone my full name. So I figured I would do some Googling of this other mystical Johnny Slothface, and this is what I found out.

Apparently he works in some boring office all day, seems like quite a bummer. This Slothface is some sort of lawyer it seems like? I don't entirely know because his life just seems so freaking boring compared to mine when I looked into him. He does some work in television... or film... or both? I don't know. I guess that is kind of cool, but he isn't playing football for a living so it really can't be that cool. It looks like he is married and has no kids, a couple pets I guess? Kind of a sad life when his social media is all just pictures of his dog.

Maybe this guy is a long lost relative of mine? He doesn't really look like it though, he is just some skinny dweeb. I thought about reaching out to him, but I figured what is the point? He will probably be insanely jealous of my life and I don't want to do that to him when his life already seems so wack.

Being Forrest Gump’s grandson, and all it makes sense that my name is Forrest Gump. But can you imagine if your last name was also Gump? After everything my grandfather did, you’d hear nothing but jokes about it endlessly. Even if your first name was just Forrest you’d hear “Run, Forrest, Run” a decent amount. And yet, despite the football, the ping pong, the freaking moon landing, someone else STILL made the conscious decision to name their child Forrest Gump. I can’t tell if this poor guy’s parents had just never heard the name before or if they have a serious sense of humour, but either way, he’s had a pretty rough go of it. He’s had to deal with people asking him for shrimp recipes his whole life, and he doesn’t even get to reap the rewards of the family Bubba Gump company money. Every single time Forrest introduces himself he has to make sure he doesn’t say, “My name’s Forrest, Forrest Gump,” or anything too close to that, otherwise people will think he’s making a dumb joke. Once they realize he isn’t kidding, his name really is Forrest Gump, he then has to clarify that there’s no relation to the original. Whoever he has just introduced himself to is almost always disappointed to hear that he isn’t. Which means that poor Forrest disappoints most people he meets within a few minutes, just because of his name.

Laszlo Forty-Two actually changed his last name a few years back to the number. His real life surname was a really long Hungarian hard to pronounce surname but turns out was a decently common in Hungary. Laszlo is also a heavily common name without that country so multiple people do have his name. Especially 1 farmer from just outside of Budapest.

He has an honest hardworking lifestyle who recently heard about Mr. Forty-Two's existence on the TV. Even getting on the news and is now a huge Luchadores fan. He was recently asked in a regional news TV interview if he was going to change his last name to a number and he said he was thinking about it.

Here is a bit translated: "I've become a bit of a local star because of him sharing the same name. Maybe I will change my name to a number or name my next son 'Laszlo Forty-Two'. Maybe if he wins DSFL or a NSFL title I will actually do that haha!"

Considering Mr. 42 constantly talks in 3rd person he is very proud that he is representing his name but also his country. One of Laszlo's goals was to have Hungary watch and grow the sport and it seems like it is starting to pay off.

Meet Apollo Reed. Apollo Reed, living in Phoenix, Arizona, is quite possibly the world's biggest fan of the Arizona Outlaws. He was there when the Outlaws played their home opener against Yellowknife and has been to every home game since then. He has even started an Outlaws podcast with one of his friends and gathered a fairly small fan base of fellow Outlaw fans. Then comes season 14, where a new running back gets drafted into the DSFL that shares names with Apollo. As this running back gets more and more yards, touchdowns, and attention in the DSFL, the thought of his favorite team having a player that shared names with him was an amazing idea for Apollo. As the player became a meme with his podcast fans, Apollo eagerly awaited the 2030 entry draft. Fast forward to the fifth round of the 2030 draft where Apollo watches the NSFL commissioner walk to the stand.

"And with the 44th overall pick of the 2030 NSFL entry draft the Orange County Otters select... Apollo Reed."

Apollo Reed was stunned. His namesake player hadn't gone to the Outlaws, that much he could stomach, but he didn't just go to any team. He went to Orange County. The team that had haunted the Outlaws ever since they were embarrassed by Orange County at the 2020 AFC Championship game. The Otters were the most hated team across the entire state of Arizona, and now Apollo shared names with one of their players. His podcast fan base and friend relentlessly make fun of him for it.
