Vick's alias 'Ron Mexico' not funny to NFL or to the real guy

ATLANTA (AP) -- The NFL doesn't want Ron Mexico to play for the Falcons.

Since that name was listed as an alias for Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick in a lawsuit filed last month, people have gone to the NFL's online store to order Vick's No. 7 replica jersey with a personalized ``MEXICO'' on the back.

But fans trying to order the customized jersey now get this message: ``The personalization entered cannot be accepted.''
...
The attention has even thrust an unwitting Ron Mexico (not an alias) into the spotlight.

``I've been getting a ton of calls. People are asking me if I know him. I don't, of course,'' said Mexico, an auto parts supplier in Brighton, Mich.

Awesome. I can't wait until Skinner allows us to change our handles again.
