Overheard on NFL Sirius 3/13
… Listening to NFL Sirius on the way to work this morning, I heard Jerry Rice and his co-host talkin’ a little rock. At the end of the show The co-host – sorry I don’t remember his name but he is new to me – referred to Jerry as “the Goat.” That caught my attention for obvious reasons.
The co-host went on to explain what he meant by the Goat; “Greatest of All Time.” It certainly has a ring to it don’t you think?
… Kurt Warner referred to as Matt Lienart’s backup in a Cardinals update. Hmmm…remember that whole their quarterback by committee approach they had going before Lienart went down? Me too. Scary!
… D.J. Hackett to visit Tampa. Good fit?
… RB Chris Brown close to signing with Texans. An oft injured running back on the Texans roster? Shocking. Should be a perfect fit.

I tell you what, love Jerry Rice as a football player but I felt like Sirius was stealing from me everyday I heard him on the air. Drove me nuts. Ummm,uhhhhh…Calling the players the wrong name.(I caught him calling people the wrong name three times in one segment one day…lol. Not one person three times but three different people) And no matter what the caller question was he would run down the starting roster of the team.
Fan: “Jerry who do you think the Packers starting running back will be?”
Jerry: ” Well, you have Brett Favre. Donald Driver is pretty good…”
Anyway…I have been meaning to ask, maybe you won’t share…where does your Goat come from? Was it because you’ll eat any music and then tranferred the name here too? Huh?
Lee,
Where do I start? lol
Yes, I took the Musicgoat idea and applied to this site (ala my sub title ….and anything else NFL). But there is more to it. First, I wanted fantasy football in the url so I wanted to stick with 3 or four letters at the end to minimize the length.
Second, of the three or four options I settled on and then tested, it tested the best using Google Adwords. More poeple clicked on the Goat version than the other four (which surprised me).
Finally, I think it is fairly memorable. Not the greatest association in the world BUT everyone remembers it. It seems people remember who you are talking about when you say fantasy football and goat in the same breath. A little branding there i suppose.
There ya go, hope that does it for you.

I feel better now. I picture the character from SNL with spread sheets.
