At Least Kevin 'Willaims' Didn't Get Fired, Right?

It wasn't a fantastic weekend to be a member of the Minnesota Vikings (or a Minnesota Vikings fan, for that matter ... unless you really, really, REALLY hate Brad Childress, who was canned by owner Zygi Wilf on Monday).

The team was spanked so soundly by Aaron Rodgers and the Packers that Brett Favre even considered some sort of "re-evaluation," and Minny, regardless of how good a coach Leslie Frazier is, probably finds itself removed from the playoff picture.

Then there's Kevin Williams, a five-time Pro Bowler and one of the best defensive players on the Vikings. He got an extra shot of salt in the proverbial wound because whoever's in charge of uniforms somehow forget how to spell his last name.

It's not like he's freaking Jim Kleinsasser either, you know? It's W-I-L-L-I-A-M-S, and it's just not that difficult to spell. Trust me, my middle name is Williams -- the only time someone ever messes it up is when they assume that because my name is "Will," my middle name has to be "William."

That's an issue you can take up with my parents, it only involves dropping the "s" off the end, and it's not something that presents itself all that often -- 90 percent of the time we're talking about a last name.

Which was the case of this highly regrettable mistake. On the bright side, the 2010 Vikings season just got summed up in about 450 stitches that somehow didn't involve Brett Favre's chin, so they've got that going for them.
