The winner of the Madieu dance contest name is ...

This email landed this morning from an Enquirer reader in Texas. The original email, suggestion the "40 Bounce" for the name for Madieu Williams' dance celebration had been sent anonymously.

In this morning:

Just read about the Madieu nickname. He's got good taste! I recommended it about a month ago.

I came up with the 40 Bounce, because he's number 40, and it's close to "40 Ounce," which refers to a quart of beer (as in "gimme a 40 ounce"). And since Madieu dances around when he makes a big play, he kind of bounces around... so "40 Bounce" fit on a few levels.

Given several members of the team's off-field transgressions this year, you might want to keep the 40-oz. reference out of it, though. ;)

Sincerely,

Ted Merlo
Coppell, TX
