1. Adewale Ogunleye
My first name’s pronounced “A-duh-wall-ay”
I’m a Nigerian nightmare and I came to play
My last name’s pronounced “O-goon-lay-uh”
When called in enemy territory, folks say “Huh?”
I really love being a quarterback smacker
And playing on a D-Line full of hard-core sackers
When you’re this damn good, it’s hard to be humble
So I’ll just shut my mouf’ and do the Re-Mix shuffle
–Big Tony Adams, Dayton, Ohio
2. Fred Miller
My name is Fred and I’m your guy
I like to shoot guns with the FBI
I’m the toughest guy you ever saw
‘Cause I sing the Shuffle through a wired jaw
–Tom S., Peoria
3. Jerry Angelo
It’s Angelo here and the media’s rough
But what doesn’t kill you makes you tough
So it took awhile for the fans to see
Thank God for Lovie and a damn good D
I didn’t come here looking for trouble
I’m just getting tickets for the Super Bowl Shuffle
–Ben, Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin
4. Robbie Gould
I’m No. 9, with a foot of gold
With the game on the line, I’m big and bold
I may not look it but I’m tough and raw
Ask Fred Miller, as I’m the one who really broke his jaw
–Jimmy Marco, East Lansing
5. Jeff Blake
I’m Jeff Blake baby, and I’m here to say,
Doesn’t really matter if I get to play a
single Sunday
See I’ve been around, for quite a while
And endin’ with a Super Bowl’s gotta make ya smile
–Matt, Normal
6. Lance Briggs
I’m big boy Lance, I’m the man around here
All you non-believers better steer clear
I can move to the left and move to the right
No suckers gonna get out of my sight
QBs and RBs shiver in fright
When they see that I am playing this night
–Tim Noble
7. Rex Grossman
I’m a QB named Rex, I was supposed to start
If only I could stop leaving the field on a cart
First it was my knee, then it was my ankle
Now I’ve lost my job to a kid named Kyle
But I won’t pout or start no trouble
I’ll just hold my clipboard and do the Super Bowl Shuffle
–Howard the Duck, schaumburg
8. Brendon Ayanbadejo
What’s an Ayanbadejo, you might ask
A special teams assassin, that’s my task
Jerry should thank me, I made him look smart
Let’s talk contract extension, I’m doin’ my part
–Evam, L.A.
