Brock Purdy's High School Renames Street In His Honor Making Him The Automatic King At Class Reunions

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy may have missed out on MVP honors, and it remains to be seen whether or not he can lead his team to a Super Bowl title, but he does have one honor under his belt this week: the street his high school is on has been named in his honor.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Perry Puma Drive; it's Brock Purdy Way's time to shine.

Perry High School in Gilbert, Arizona, where Purdy went to high school, made the big change earlier this week.

Aside from throwing out the first pitch at a Major League Baseball game, few honors are as great as having something named after you, except a disease… unless you're the one who discovered it.

Now, getting a street can be a great honor, so long as it's a good street.

For starters, you want a real street. Anyone can have an alley named after them, but not everyone can stake their claim to a real, bonafide street.

It also matters what's on the street. If the only notable thing along it is a garbage dump or a small colony of junkies, that's not a street you want your name on.

Now, the street your high school is on? That's a good street.

That's because you remember that teacher who tried to tell you that you wouldn't amount to anything. There's no better revenge than making teacher drive down a street with your name on it every day.

Another big plus is that if Brock Purdy decides to go to any high school reunions, he automatically wins. He won't have any reason to make up some lie about how he's some real estate mogul, secret agent, or starting cricket batsman for the Kolkata Knight Riders of the Indian Premier League like the rest of us.

However, if you go with that last one, you need to be ready for someone to call your bluff: 

"Wait a second; you're not Rahmanullah Gurbaz!"

If that happens you need to have a contingency plan.

Brock doesn't need any of that. No, he's an NFL quarterback of the 49ers better yet. It's not like being the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns where there's a good chance 3 or 4 of your classmates can say the same (you see, because they go through a lot of quarterbacks).

But if the NFL accomplishments aren't enough to impress his former classmates, howsabout that street sign out front?

Boom. King of the reunion.

My 10-year high school reunion is supposed to be this year, at least if someone (not me) gets off their ass and plans it. I've got to try to impress my old school with my sweet blogging acumen and if that fails (I don't see how it could) I've got to lean on that cricket lie I mentioned.

Why? Because the street the school is on isn't named after me… yet.
