I was talking with a friend the other day about ESPN and I couldn’t remember the name of one of the anchors so I had to do a little research in order to find the name. Well, I finally did find who I was looking for, and it was Trey Wingo.

Now, if you’ve already clicked on the above link, you probably already know where I’m going to go with this. Apparently, Trey Wingo is not this man’s real name. It seems that his relationship with Stuart Scott goes back further than we thought. His real name is Hal Chapman Wingo III. This leads me to believe that the name Trey actually comes from the fact that he is “the third”, and thus, the trey.

I don’t usually give much thought to people’s names since I’ve seen some really weird ones and they usually don’t choose the names themselves. But he had to give this one some thought. Going by Hal would have been just as easy to say, but no, he chose Trey. The only way I can excuse the man is if ESPN came up with it for him and made him use it, which actually wouldn’t surprise me that much either.
