Athlete Vanity Plates

SI.com has compiled a series of photos highlighting several athletes' vanity plates in light of Denver Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno's DUI arrest earlier this month. Moreno was stopped after police clocked him going 70 in a 45mph zone... while cruising around with a license plate that reads "SAUCED". 

I've always been of the belief that the only people who used vanity plates were people who either loved themselves too much, or loved their car too much. It's probably a little from column A and a little from column B for any star athletes who feel it necessary to attach a sobriquet to their plates.

Head over to Sports Illustrated for a complete gallery, but here are a few notables from the set and our own alternative vanity plate suggestions:

Michael Irvin's 'PLY MKR'

Alternative suggestions: 'SCISSORS', 'COCAINE', 'PROS JOES'

Eric Montross' 'TARHEELS'

Alternative suggestions: 'GO BLUELOL', '9 OVERALL'

Marge Schott's 'MARGE'

Alternative suggestions: 'RACISM', 'HITLER', 'SMOKES'

(Ed. note: yes, we're aware many of our suggestions would not fit on a license plate.)
