Both Billy Joe Tolliver and Billy Joe Hobert - because people need to listen to people named Billy Joe.

Willie Jackson WR- because he had some good games and the players called him “Willie Jack.”

Billie Joe Tolliver was the QB for the Shreveport Pirates of the CFL back in 1995. Got several chances to meet him back them. The first time I met him was at a preseason practice session. He saw my redheaded 5 year old son on the sideline and came over and talked to him. He told my son to make sure he had his sunscreen on "because us redheads can burn easy." Real nice guy. I was excited when he got the chance to join the Saints and play.

The hall of fame Packer, Forrest Gregg, was the head coach of the Pirates and the kicker was former Giant Bjorn Nittmo. Bjorn used to come to all of our fan club meetings. He was a really cool guy. He was a regular visitor on the David Letterman Show when he was with the Giants. David used to love saying his last name - Nittmo!
