San Francisco 49ers safety
Donte Whitner, who has revealed he was fined $21,000 by the league for a hit during last Thursday night's victory over the
St. Louis Rams, said Wednesday he's dropping the "W" from his last name.
"I actually put the paperwork in yesterday afternoon. Just waiting to get the paperwork out," he said in a conference call with the Houston media. "So from here on out until I retire, my name will be Donte Hitner, without the W."
OK then.
