Jordan Cicchelli had no idea what a small, innocent joke would eventually turn into when she tweeted about Blue Jays second-year star Bo Bichette in July.
The rest is history. Thousands of jokes came in, simply replacing "Bo" with any rhyming word. I admit, I found it pretty stupid at first. And then I read five more, and then ten more, and by the time I was on my 100th pun, I can confirm that I was thoroughly entertained. There was literally an article compiling the best puns on MLB.com.
Now, the NFL community is having its fun with a similarly easy-to-rhyme-with last name. Trust me, I would know. The amount of jokes, albeit not rhyming ones, that I've heard over the years -- Traffic Cohn, Pine Cohn, Ice Cream Cohn, etc. -- has provided me with a deep understanding of just how versatile the "-one" last name can be.
So, after Falcons fans and fantasy football players saw Julio Jones trending on Twitter and almost passed out due to worry that it might have to do with an injury, everyone took a deep breath and sigh of relief once they realized it was only because of another chain of puns that had exploded.
Here are some of the best.
It may not be the most complex form of humor, but hey. The possibilities are limitless.
Jones and the Falcons square off against the Seahawks to start their 2020 season on Sunday, and given that Seattle's average score against Atlanta over the past five contests is 27.4 points, the Falcons are hoping that their star WR scores some touchdowns. Julio End Zones.
The Seahawks won last year's contest 27-20 despite 10 catches and 152 yards from Julio. As usual, he dominated the secondary. Julio Owns (Seattle), as he averages 122.3 yards per game when facing off against the Seahawks.
And if the Falcons lose due to a lackluster performance from their seven-time Pro Bowler -- which isn't all too likely -- the fans and his fantasy football owners will probably be pretty disappointed. Julio Groans.
