A minor mystery revealed: origin of the name ‘Little Green Footballs’
Plausible guess, but not even close to the terrible hidden secret reality.

Seriously.
Hopefully there's no caveat in your will stipulating 100 years after your death ala Mark Twain.

I was going to be disappointed if you really had.

Man and I was hoping to finally find out! What could be so bad or embarrassing about the experience that led you to choose the name?

haha.
Fooled me, I clicked as soon as i saw the title!
We actually had a Legislative Auditor here a few years ago, who used to make up charges against public officials using that very same sort of "pull all the unrelated crap you can find out of thin air" method of logic.

*narrows eyes and looks at Charles with pointed suspicion*
Would you admit it if somebody actually got it right? Hmmm? Would'ja?

I concluded years ago that the most likely possibility is that some trash he has seen on television is everything that is behind his dance around the name of his blog. Now some pundit precisely spotted it. On the first glance, it appears to be an useless job to have to pretend a mystery where there isn´t, but maybe someone who will pursue it nevertheless has to hide more than just an unrestrained lust for attention. Could it be that he has sold his soul to a government agency, or suffers of some other subprime spiritual mortgage?

My theory is that LGF is a name with lots of double letters, to encourage typos.

I always thought "Little Green Footballs" referred to some terrible incident involving the product produced at the southern end of a northern-bound horse.
We've all seen it, some of us have accidentally stepped in it. Maybe a certain someone, who will remain nameless in my comment, was playing football with it ... or landed in it when tackling/tackled.
*laughing*
