Is Steve Smith Jr. going to run out on the field and confuse the fans ?
Panthers' Thomas Davis little son plays football. Could he confuse the fans ?

I DON'T see any harm in it, but think it's a little odd, a bit annoying, and kind of amusing. Oh well, something to talk about in a season where our team is "stink up the joint"
I don't have a middle name or initial, but somewhere along the line someone was highly confused by that fact and arbitrarily proceeded to give me an initial - my wife's middle initial , a "K".
So, now I get a ton of junk mail with that initial added !
Again, I find that just a bit odd, annoying and amusing. (Don't lose any sleep over it).
Rule 5, Section 4, Article 2(b) of the 2013 Official NFL Playing Rules states, "Surnames of players in letters a minimum of 2 ½ inches high must be affixed to the exterior of jerseys across the upper back above the numerals; nicknames are prohibited."
Yup, surnames. There's no mention of suffixes — such as "III," "Jr." and "Sr." — because they are not really part of players' surnames. To the contrary, such suffixes relate specifically to players' first names.
But. it really nothing to fret about, the NFL has a lot of bigger problems.
Remember the XFL's Rod Smart ?

You care so much you’re quoting the rule? You have to have a hobby.
I agree. Hockey threads may be the last refuge.
Been too depressed about the Giants' nightmare season (I think I've only watched two games; normally I don't miss any).
So, I'm down to posting on mundane trivia.
Seriously I didn’t think it could get much worse
