What in the hell is a Kabeer Gbaja-Biamala?

Whoever said that sportswriting was easy?

Sure, if you're a member of the media, you get to sit in the press box with a clear view of the game, while chomping on snacks, chugging down drinks, and watching and writing about the game that you love.

But sports is a worldwide activity, and of course brings athletes from all around the globe to play. You know what this means, right?

Crazy names.

Sportswriters have to stay on their game and make sure that they spell these names right, because some of the names are, in a word, ridiculous.

One of the worst mistakes you can make is to spell the name of a person wrong in an article, I don't care how many middle names he/she has.

So here is Sports Illustrated's ultimate list of the hardest names to spell in sports. And just remember, it ain't always easy writing about sports.

1. Tim Biakabatuka, NFL

2. Boubacar Aw, NCAA BBall

3. Ruben Boumtje-Boumtje, NBA

4. Mark Buehrle, MLB

5. Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, NFL

6. Mark Grudzielanek, MLB

7. Guillaume Latendresse, NHL

8. T.J. Houshmandzadeh, NFL

9. Jarrod Saltalamacchia, MLB

10. Mike Krzyzewski, NCAA BB

Alright, you know what, I am having a whale of a time flipping back and forth from page to page trying to spell these names so I'll let you take a look at the rest of the list at this link.

P.S. You thought the writers job was tough, making sure all these names are spelled correctly? How about the broadcaster's job to pronounce these beasts?
