Words You Can't Say On An NFL Jersey, Cont'd

Remember that story a couple months back about the NFL banning more than 1,000 words from personalized fine jerseys, and removing the word "gay" from the list because of the Patriots' Randall Gay? That list is back in the news, because the latest addition is "Ron Mexico."

Who's Ron Mexico? It's the alias allegedly used by Falcons quarterback Michael Vick when he registered for STD tests, according to a lawsuit by a woman accusing Vick of infecting her with herpes. Fans have been trying to order Falcons jerseys with Vick's #7 and the name "Mexico," (and this guy apparently encouraged it) but the NFL has now put the kibosh on that.

Out of luck in this whole thing is a Mr. Ron Mexico who played hockey for Utica College, and wore #9.
