Bomani & Jones: What your player introduction says about you

When Atari Bigby introduced himself to America on Sunday Night Football, his eyes all squinty, as an alumnus of “University of Jah Rastafari,” it may have been the greatest introduction in the history of introductions.

Atari Bigby isn’t the first person to take liberty with what was once used exclusively to shout out real live universities, but no one ever took it that far. Say what you want, but that told the world a lot more about him than he could have conveyed with “Central Florida.”

See, if you read the between the lines, you can learn a lot in those Sunday Night Football intros. In case you need some help determining what guys are really saying, “Bomani & Jones” is here with a handy guide to help you translate what guys really mean when they throw out their alma maters, junior colleges, flag football teams and The Ohio State University.
