The Mama's and the Papa's

I blame Luis from the Red Card and Chicago Tribune for this random post. Ever since his Marco Pablo Pappa/Notorius B.I.G. reference a few days back about the Chicago Fire's recent signing, I haven't been able to get "papa" out of my head. On top of that, last night during the MLS all-star game I ordered out to one of my favorite local pizza spots, Papa's Pizza. All of that led me to this randomness, players with "papa" in their name and for good measure I threw in some "mama's" too.
