Tyler Reddick named his son Rookie

[WhiningSmoke]

You know, I really thought Tyler Reddick had transformed into an A+ driver with his move to win Homestead last year and get into the Championship 4. NEVER in my life have I been so wrong! This year, Reddick has been the definition of B+ just coasting around in prime TRD equipment not doing anything. I barely see him on television which is a shame because I love his paint schemes. But he’s become irrelevant and nobody cares about Tyler Reddick anymore.

That being said, I wish the best for his son Rookie Reddick! This is a B+ troll job by Tyler at best, though. The joke will ONLY be funny if Rookie Reddick races in NASCAR, and it will cease to be funny after his rookie year.

Recently I’ve been seeing a Puerto Rican/Italian waitress I work with. If I were to EVER get her pregnant, I can ALMOST guarantee that kid would not be named Rookie. That being said, I did sell the naming rights to my firstborn son to a friend of mine in college for $250 and 3 packs of Busch Light, so I’ll have to clear it with him first.

"Rookie" is probably a better name than "Junior B"

Do parents not realize that their children will in most cases be saddled with these names for the next 60-90 years, and what seems cute and adorable now will likely have worn out it's welcome by the time the kid hits grade school? Kids have a hard enough time trying to find their place in the modern world and fit in. Hanging a bizarre name on them usually doesn't help. Here's a hint; It's not about YOU, it's about your child. If you want to give them a goofy nickname, go ahead, but every child deserves to at least have a formal name that looks respectable on a resume for a Fortune 500 company or a law firm, and not a punch line.
