Nitpicking terminology again...

I'm sick of people throwing around the term "Triplets" to describe a QB-RB-WR trio.  This is the popular way to describe Aikman-Smith-Irvin.  Funny thing is, I'm scuffling (lolz!) to remember a time that I actually heard them called that during their playing days.  Triplets implies three of the same thing.  I suppose they could be fraternal triplets, but even then, the term suggests that they should at least play the same position.  I think triplets would be better applied to Randy Moss, Cris Carter, and Jake Reed of the late 90's Vikings.  At least they played the same position.
