Still insane that James & Dalvin Cook have basically the same name 💀

[u/JadarianPryce]

James Dalvin and Dalvin James

[u/JamieGoldhand]

I deadass thought James Cook was Dalvin for the longest time. I was always thinking dang that vikings rb is really killing it on the bills now. Hes gotta be getting old

[u/BillySpacs → u/JamieGoldhand]

This is my first time realizing they’re brothers 

[u/Hugh-Janus-40hogs → u/JamieGoldhand]

Lmao

[u/Sipikay → u/JamieGoldhand]

Bro I thought that was the same guy lol

[u/ambulocetus_ → u/JamieGoldhand]

I'm also shocked to learn that the Bills have had James for 5 years. I feel like he was a rookie last year.

Mom and dad weren't creative people. They did however have the good genes to produce two NFL level star running backs.

[u/theumph → u/Inevitable-Shop-848]

Could be worse. They could've pulled a George Foreman.

[u/spctclr_spiderman → u/theumph]

Is his brother Fore Georgeman?

[u/Epon_Son → u/spctclr_spiderman]

No George Foremen named all his sons George Foremen

[u/spctclr_spiderman → u/Epon_Son]

I hope he has 4 sons and named them all George Fourmen

[u/TUB-GIRL → u/spctclr_spiderman]

He has 5 sons all named George. And he has 7 daughters. One is named Georgetta

[u/spctclr_spiderman → u/TUB-GIRL]

Goddamn... people know a lot about George Foreman

[u/FlipGordon → u/spctclr_spiderman]

Wana hear abiut his grill?..

[u/spctclr_spiderman → u/FlipGordon]

I used to have one, but sure :)

[u/penilesensorydevice]

Cook Dalvin James looks on angrily with arms crossed.

[u/Careful-Whereas1888]

I just want to know what the oldest did to not be the junior (III in this case). Most families give that name to the oldest son.

[u/Wembanyanma → u/Careful-Whereas1888]

Mom probably didnt want her first born to be a Jr. After a few years of seeing Senior be the father he was she relented with the second born. Or something like that.

[u/hereforthesportsball → u/Wembanyanma]

I hate how plausible this is, happy wife fuck my life

[u/Hugh-Janus-40hogs → u/Careful-Whereas1888]

Same thing I was wondering

[u/Windsor34]

That’s so crazy! They could be brothers 

[u/JadarianPryce → u/Windsor34]

Were your parents siblings?

[u/QuinnTinIntheBin → u/JadarianPryce]

Yessir! 8 generations now, going on 9!

[u/ArtEnvironmental7108 → u/QuinnTinIntheBin]

Standard Eagles fan family tree.

I really shouldn’t talk being a Bills fan and all…

[u/Always_the_Wildcard → u/JadarianPryce]

My mothers my sister

[u/SkolFourtyOne]

I think it’s crazier that Dalvin isn’t still in the NFL

[u/holyhibachi → u/SkolFourtyOne]

Bro fell off QUICK

[u/ArtEnvironmental7108 → u/holyhibachi]

Went from 1100 yards and good efficiency to a 3rd stringer in one offseason, then 3rd stringer to basically retired in one more offseason. Legendary fall off honeslty.

[u/SkolFourtyOne → u/ArtEnvironmental7108]

Can’t really blame him tho, Mike Zimmer ran him into the fucken ground.

[u/Chweenie_Nard]

Holy fuck. James Cook was born the same day as me. And he’s won a national championship. Really puts into perspective how much of a fucking loser I am.

[u/JadarianPryce → u/Chweenie_Nard]

Don’t sell yourself short, Chweenie- I bet you have more Reddit karma than he does.

[u/Chweenie_Nard → u/JadarianPryce]

You’re so right. I’m going to touch myself with a smile on my face tonight instead of a tear rolling down my cheek.

[u/JadarianPryce → u/Chweenie_Nard]

[u/TheDandyWarhol → u/Chweenie_Nard]

James Cook was born after I graduated high school, lol! You want to talk about being a loser?!

[u/seriouslynotanotaku]

When you have an alternate account:

[u/Only-Mulberry-8098]

lol that’s hilarious 

[u/Professional_Crab322]

Michael Penis Jr, aka Mike Penis, is named after his dads penis and gets into every club.

[u/KJ_BELL25]

Went to school with an Eddie Jr and an Eddie III.

They were brothers. 💀

[u/DentonTrueYoung]

And they have the III to the second born

[u/Jadien]

They've got nothing on Malcom Floyd and Malcolm Floyd

[u/JadarianPryce → u/Jadien]

Sweet Jesus

[u/xsmith24]

Their father was James Cook Sr. It’s unclear to me who the II is

[u/JadarianPryce → u/xsmith24]

If I have it correct, it would go James, James Jr, and James III. The only people I’ve seen skip the II are bluebloods and royalty lol. And James III would probably go by “tres/trace”

[u/WildmanDaGod]

Parents really got creative there huh

[u/CrazyResolution6696]

Their parents gotta be messing with us

[u/GoldHoney2863]

Basically just confirms my suspicions that naming my kid Dalvin James [last name] guarantees he’ll be a running back

[u/Armandonerd]

Dalvin K Cook!

[u/zpepsin]

It's like Meek Mill and Rick Ross

[u/Mobile-Jump6936]

Parents are some people psychos lmao

[u/Chris_Columbus_Hero]

Black shit

[u/TheDandyWarhol]

Wait until you guys hear about George Foreman's kids.

[u/shearmit]

Equally good players

[u/Chopper_Fortnite]

There is another example but I don’t want to speak his name

[u/StencilBoy]

It gets stranger. Their oldest brother took their mother’s maiden name to be DeAndre Burnett. Then, Dalvin Cook got his Dad’s name as his middle name (James), and then on the third child they decided to finally have a James Cook III and for some reason added that brotherly bond with Dalvin.

I wonder how the older brother feels not getting any similar nomenclature and being the least successful athlete. He is a non-NBA professional basketball player.

[u/RoundErther]

If you think thats crazy wait until you head what James's dad and grandfather's names are.

[u/legendkiller003]

Would be more insane if they weren’t brothers.

[u/MrMeowPantz]

Man, it’s almost like they’re related or something.

[u/JadarianPryce → u/MrMeowPantz]

Idk man, my brother and I do not have the same exact names…

[u/TBellOHAZ → u/MrMeowPantz]

Man, it's almost like brothers don't usually have swapped first and middle names.
