With Saban and Tyde already taken in the Bamasphere, J.L. and Jackie Redd (yes, Redd) decided to name their son “Crimson Tide”. But don’t worry, these new parents are going to be reasonable about all this:
“We don’t want ot force him into anything,” she said. “But he does already have a lot of Alabama stuff.”
One can only assume that seeing Nick Saban’s pen is in this kid’s near future.

ONLY Alabama fans would go this far…. TOTAL REDNECK.

Not even Alabama fans would go this far. You name a PET after the team you like, if you just have to go that far, not your kid.

What a wife! Knowing something is this stupid and tacky and letting her hubby do it anyways. Thanks buddy for eliminating men from any important decisions because of pure stupidity. If you have another kid I propose the first name of “Neck”, middle name “Is”.

is anyone actually surprised? The funniest part to me about all these like-minded Alabama fans is that not a one of them went to college anywhere, much less to the object of the obsession and adulation. Let’s see –
1) dumb as a box of rocks – check
2) poorer than dirt – check
3) severely misplaced priorities – check
4) exerting all their energies everywhere except where they should – check
5) raising another generation to be just like them – check
6) life sucks but it doesn’t matter just as long as the “Tahd” win – check
7) rely on the successes and failures of 17-21 year olds playing a game at a school they have no connection to at all to feel good about their otherwise pathetic lives – check
Yep, they’re Alabama fans –
well Obamacare will make it all fair for them by taking those nasty well-to-do yuppies down a peg so I guess all is not lost in their world

I’m suspicious of any newspaper that doesn’t have a website… I also seriously doubt any paper that was actually in Tallassee could spell JaDarious correctly, so I’m saying hoax.
10 War Eagle // Apr 1, 2010 at 1:25 pm
Alabama fans WOULD and DO give their children ridiculous names like this. Whether this paper is real or not, I’ve unfortunately seen very similar stories in other real newspapers. I’ve never seen one with a last name like Redd, though, so kudos to the poster for taking something so realistic a step further into the insanity.

I am sadly from Tallassee, a town of about 6000. The paper comes out once a week on Wednesday. http://www.thewetumpkaherald.com/tallassee_tribune/front/ is the web page, but very little gets on it. Then again, very little is news in Tallassee.

So much hostility over a name? Tskk…tssk…
the redneck joke is overdone here and then another fool comes along and reiterates it in his/her own foolish style.
Oh, wait….
this is America.

Crimson Redd or C.T. Redd isn’t too horribly atrocious to be known by, other than sounding like a stripper name. There’s always legal name changes later.
Note to self, legally change last name to Eagle, then name first born “War”.

You people are ridiculous. If you live in Alabama, you understand the way that their fans are. If you don’t live in Alabama, then you don’t; it’s that simple. His name is unique, and I personally loved it and encouraged them to name him this. None of you have any idea what Jackie and Joey went through to get him here, and you all sound ignorant judging them.

What amazes me is that the African culture can put vowels and consonants together that don’t even fit into the English language that NO ONE can pronounce, not even the kids themselves and that’s not a big deal. I think the name is unique and I think all of these people posting over a 2 mth old has some type of computer addiction and needs to get a life.
19 Bou_Reila // Apr 3, 2010 at 4:01 pm
Sadly, this is real. I live right next door to Joey’s parents. In my opinion it’s a little crazy to name your kid “Crimson Tide” but it was his choice not mine. You people don’t need to make a huge deal over it. We all name our kids what we want. It’s just a name, if the kid wants to when he’s older he can change his name.

Hey hypocrites!!!
Every school has them, the “Dirt Road Alumni”, you know, the fans that never went to school there and only step foot on campus on game days…
YOUR SCHOOL has them too… it’s not an “Alabama Red Neck Thing”…

wow you are acting like this is alabama fans I guarantee you there are plenty of Auburn fans who would name their kids eagle.And maybe you should quit worrying about other people and get a life

haha The Tallassee Tribune is real! http://www.tallasseetribune.com.. i know some people who work there.
I told them the lead should read “Tallassee kid will inevitably need therapy in 12-13 years, and are currently taking donations because they are dirt poor and incredibly ghetto.”
23 Joey & Jackie // Apr 4, 2010 at 4:54 am
Jackie and I would first like to thank everyone for posting their comments and concerns on the name of our child. We both knew there would be mixed emotions the day we decided on his name. So that each of you can better understand, we would like to take the time to tell you a little about Ty and the Champion he is inside.
On November 20th 2009 at 25 weeks pregnant, Jackie began experiencing Pre Labor Contractions and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. She was admitted to the Baptist East Medical Center in Montgomery AL. She was given Magnesium Sulfate to stop the contractions and was discharged six days later. On December 6th 2009 she was again taken to the hospital experiencing the same symptoms and was admitted once again and given the same treatment. After a 10 day stay, she was discharged and put on full bed rest for the duration of her pregnancy. She was admitted again January 1st – January 22nd.
On January 29th 2010, Hope’s and dreams for a Beautiful, Healthy and Normal baby boy was quickly shattered when Jackie at only 31 weeks pregnant, was rushed into the delivery room to give birth to our son. With each passing minuet, his heart beat began to drop as doctors struggled to deliver him. After what seemed like an eternity for us, “Crimson Tide Redd” was introduced into the world at 3 lbs 5 ounces. Nurses quickly rushed Crimson out of the room before we could see or hear him cry. Excitement and happiness was short lived and turned into desperation and fear when doctors informed us that Crimson had little chance of surviving due to his undeveloped and premature lungs and internal organs.
Jackie and I waited in the delivery room for 4 long hours as doctors and nurses fought to keep him alive and stable. Little did we know our little champion had his mind made up to live and win the fight. After six weeks in the hospital Ty was given the all clear to come home. That we can truly say was the best day of our lives. We feel that the name Crimson Tide Redd fits him great and he was born a winner.

Joey,
I am glad you think that your son was born a winner, but it seems like you had that name for him before you realized he was a champion. You are pathetic. Go grab a Natty Light and drink your sorry life away. I am willing to bet Crimson will blow up in a Meth trailer by the time he is 20, cause he sure as hell won’t be going to school at the Capstone. You are the reason Alabama is the but of so many jokes. Please dont have anymore kids.

Joey & Jackie are not rednecks. I know them and they are both well educated nice people. They both come from good, well educated, professional, God fearing people. We live in the USA and we can name our kids whatever we want. You all are just mean people with no lives.
28 Santana // Sep 3, 2010 at 9:06 pm
Matt, you sound like a miserable, piece of trash, waste of a human being. What kind of person wishes that kind of thing on an infant?!? Just because you don’t like the name…, get over it. And if you pay attention you will notice that he was named at 2 months. why don’t you go run your hatemobile of the road, and leave people alone.
29 KaintGetRight // Dec 29, 2012 at 6:16 pm
Well, as an LSU fan here in Louisiana we only “nickname” our kids “Tiger”. Besides “Crimson” is actually a “girl’s” name which is the single one thing I find that could make this quite weird down the line for the child.
I apologize for laughing my ass off at some of these posts. Though pretty mean spirited, they were funny as hell.

A) Graduating HS does not count as well educated. B) I’d bet good money neither Jackie nor Joey wrote their response. C) A LOT of women have trouble carrying their babies to full term, and conceiving at all. Still not an excuse to damn your innocent child to a lifetime of mockery and ribbing. D) Neither Jackie, nor Joey, nor any of their constituents confirmed if they actually attended UA. E) I’m an Alabama Alum, I went to Alabama on a legacy scholarship, my parents are both alum, my grandfather is an alum, my uncles are alum, and my brother is a current student. Amazingly enough, none of us are named after our alma mater. Because WE actually went, and WE went for an education…not a football program. People like Jackie, Joey, and their family and friends are ruining Alabama’s reputation and confirming ugly stereotypes. Thanks for being useless. Please go back to your trailers and find a new team to worship. You’re making us look bad.
