[jilbagh]

[ckBejug]

Jerry Tarkanian----> Former basketball coach at UNLV (until 1992). Took UNLV to the NCAA Final Four four times and got the national title in 1990. Also used to coah for fresno state I think it was. His son was assisstant coach there too.

[Hogg]

Rien Long - DE on New England, I think. Played for Washington St. last year. I had no idea he's Armenian but my dad said he read an article about him in some Armenian magazine and he has a tattoo of one of the letters from the alphabet so...

Rex Kalamian - former Clippers assistant coach

the Kazarians - Tight end for UCLowns so obviously he sucks and his dad who's known as the "Towel Waver". I haven't seen the dad in action though.

Okay, none of them are popular but there aren't enough Armos in sports to differentiate between popular and not.

[dstyle]

Gary Yepremian was the dolphins kicker.
Steve Sarkissian, BYU QB, current USC QB's coach
Steve Bedrossian, pitched in MLB, i think on the braves, phils and giants, maybe a few more teams.

Ill put more in if I remember.

[fstkhnan]

Sargis Sargsian. An athlete actually playing FOR Armenia. Number 28 in the ATP rankings I think.


And Edgar Manucharyan will probably be a big name in the world of Futbol a couple of years from now.

Oh indeed there is, many of them being from famed inventor RON POPEIL. But did that have anything to do with what I said? (you quoted me)

NBC used to have a lame "The More You Know" informational announcements. Your post sounded a lot like one. Or like the "this is your brain on drugs" announcement. I can't be drop dead hilarious every time, I'm only human.

Eh, your choice. But I'm still Armenian.

And Patlajan, I now get your point. A link to a "the more you know" poster would have worked better. Mais bon, you are forgiven, as you have caused many laughters in the past.

Football: a field gamed played with an inflated leather ball; the ball used.
