very nice alternate choices though

I was going to say Thorpe....He is a distant relative on mine. The last name Thorpe was used by my great grandparents, but the government has changed it twice by error. So I have cousines with last names of Thorpe, and Tharp.

I know the answer, but in lieu of spoiling it for everyone else, i will tell you a couple of other interesting things about brodie

He is very involved in the church of scientology

His second career was on the Senior PGA Tour

He was once a backup to YA Tittle (thats a hint)

I've always wanted to go on jeopardy. Im a fountain of useless knowledge.
