I saw the story on Vince Young declaring bankruptcy and it said that he was suing his former financial advisor - a man by the name of Ronnie Peoples. That's not the same Ronnie Peoples who played baseball back in the early 1980's for Rice by chance?

This lists a Ronnie Peoples that advises NFL Players and says his education is Albany State.

Nope.

Ronnie and his wife attend Rice home games regularly. Saw them at Homecoming.

Two words.

George Foreman

From Wikipedia:

"His five sons are George Jr., George III ("Monk"), George IV ("Big Wheel"), George V ("Red"), and George VI ("Little Joey")."

George III being a Rice alum

For some reason I thought George's sons had different middle names. I guess it was nicknames rather than middle names.

Well that's just it...

My father and son and I all share first and last names, but different middle. I knew the joke about Foreman, but for some reason I thought they were (as an example) George W Foreman, goes by William... George J Foreman, goes by James etc. Obviously I'm wrong... but even so... it was good enough to be a pretty popular joke meme back in the day... I'm certain this guy called his sons something like Junior and Trey... but it's still one of those things that make you go hmmmmm... At least Foreman was famous and wanted his sons to share in his fame. Maybe this guy thought he was as well.

A friend of mine, call him Jack Jones, named his son Jack J. Jones. I asked what the J stood for. Answer: "Junior"
