I never bothered to ask, bothered to read or knew where your name came from...

With the 299th overall pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select Pumpy Tudors, Punter from Tennessee-Chattanooga

(1992)

Funny stuff:p :D

Pumpy Tudors would be a good porn name. I always figured it was a play on words.

Who knows, maybe our Pumpy actually IS this former punter, current state trooper ;).

And a feared poker bounty hunter.

And not a food processor repairman.

Two or three years back, someone posted a "Where did your username come from?" thread, and I told the story. I was watching the NFL Hall of Fame game one year, and the Eagles were playing. They reached fourth down, and Al Michaels said something similar to, "Now coming in to punt for the Eagles, Pumpy Tudors." I thought the name was hilarious, and since it was the name of a football player, I figured it'd be appropriate for a football game's message board.

This is the first place that I used the name, but now I obviously use it everywhere (other message boards, online poker, etc.). The only time I was ever really embarrassed about the name was when I was trying to tell the poker bounty hunter story to my mother-in-law. Strangely, it didn't even seem to faze her the first time I said "Pumpy Tudors" around her.

Ever google your own name, just for fun?

Do you think the real Pumpy Tudors has ever done that? If so, can you imagine how confused he is?

I hadn't thought of that. That would be the coolest thing in the world.
