News Person Named "Jimmer Fredette" Attempting To Be Taken Seriously

BYU senior guard Jimmer Fredette continued his scoring rampage Tuesday night with 47 points in his team's 25-point victory over rival Utah. Fredette hit 16-of-28 shots, and was 6-of-9 on 3-pointers, but still missed on having any credibility as a basketball player or human due to his unbelievably absurd name.

"Jimmer Fredette is as good a player as I've ever seen in the college ranks," said Utah coach Jim Boylen. "He's not one-dimensional. He can score from anywhere on the court. Probably most impressive is, that for someone named 'Jimmer,' he doesn't seem to piss his pants and I hear he can ride a bike with the training wheels off."

BYU head coach Dave Rose says having the name of a 3 year-old boy with glasses and a severe peanut allergy has driven Fredette to succeed and prove to people that he can do more than sit on the sidelines with his asthma inhaler reading books about dinosaurs.
