Bushwick Fred Smoot: Former Viking changes name again

Infamous former Viking Fred Smoot, so anxious to put the legacy of the sex boat behind him that he's oddly swapped nicknames a few times, has a new one to try on for size.

You can't call him Love Boahttp://blog.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2008/07/fred_smoots_new_nickname.htmlt Fred anymore: Now he's "Brother O'Dell, Pass the Biscuits, Pappy O'Daniels."

The best part of the WaPo blog post that reported this is Smoot's reaction to the interviewer, where he loses patience and talks to the reporter as if he's a child because he doesn't instantly remember the entirety of his sobriquet and how to spell it.

In the annals of celebrity name changes, this slots in just below the time Bushwick Bill changed his name to "Dr. Wolfgang Vincent Gobin Bushwickin the Barbarian Mother Funky Stay High Dollar Billstir" and just above Prince turning into a symbol. Sorry, Prince, but I'm a sucker for O Brother Where Art Thou.
