These guys can't play forever. What will they do next? Terrell Owens will join the WWF as the "LONE WRESTLER". Ray Lewis will join the I.B.E.W. & "LAY WIRES", or perhaps take the BAR exam... guess who my "LAWYER IS"? Adrian Peterson becomes a sports doctor, and in his first procedure he "REPAIRS A TENDON". The collectible Tony Romo bobblehead is nothing more than a "TOY MORON". Eli Manning's brief stint in baseball will end abruptly with one "LAME INNING"... later, his most intimate preferences are exposed when he is discovered "NAILING MEN". Brett Farve will have a sitcom... "BEER FART TV". Some think Reggie Bush won't be around football much longer, but fate says his next career will "BE USHER GIG". Better news for Chad Ochocinco: he will stroll the sidelines as an assistant, nicknamed "COACH COCO HIND". Bitter over being replaced, Hines Ward becomes a "SAD WHINER". Vince Young's divisive ways will brand him "CONNIVE GUY". Tony Gonzales will retreat to desert sun worship as a "SALTY ZEN GOON". The future for Tom Brady is rather grim... an untimely arrival at a "TOMB YARD". Steelers QB Roethlisberger will be memorialized with a headstone that reads "HERE ROTS GERBIL".

Go to "wordsmith.org", click on "internet anagram server", and unleash the hounds of your imagination. For inspiration, click on "anagram hall of fame". I discovered this site through a SI article by Rick Reilly years ago.

So that brings it back to 'they' right? Now I'm all confussed :(I just searched the list given for each name I entered in the I. A. S. then came up with a theme for each.
