Fantasy or Football! (Part Two)

Darnerian McCants: Wide Receiver for the Baltimore Ravens or Chief Assassin for the House of Atreides?

Xavier Harkonnen: Defensive End for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Military Leader during the Butlerian Jihad?

Atari Bigby: Cornerback for the Green Bay Packers or Housekeeper for the Royal Family of Arrakis?

Hasimir Fenrin: Kicker for the Miami Dolphins or 81st Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe?

When Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’ appeared in 1965, little did the world know that it would become the best-selling Sci-fi novel of all time; nor that it would influence the naming of an entire generation of professional athletes.

No, we’re not on Spice. Check it: All across America, football fans and Sci-Fi fans are debating into the wee hours over whether Larry Csonka was (a) a fullback for the 1972 Dolphins or (b) the Emperor’s Truthsayer and mentor of Lady Jessica.
