I know what you're thinking: Only pompous actors and serial killers use three names. Me? I woke up one January day in 2005 to discover that the most-searched articles from my two decades as a sports journalist had been exiled to the desolation wilderness of the second and third pages of search engines. The culprit? A freshly elected U.S. Representative from Buffalo named . . . Brian Higgins. He's now serving his 10th term. Rather than paddle upstream against the power of Congress on Google's algorithm, I simply added my middle name to bylines and professional undertakings in the hope of reclaiming my front-page status. Being neither pompous nor homicidal, however, I go by Brian on a personal level. Not Brain, although as lifelong juxtapositions go, I suppose I could do worse.
