Speaking of monikers given to players...

[5Stars]

This new moniker of "Crankcase" given to QC had me thinking last night while I was trying to fall asleep, of just how many monikers there are out there that are given to players...

Playmaker = Irvin
Primetime = Sanders
Manster = Randy White...ect...

Who's you favorite, or what are some others that you like, or know from any team, from any era?

I like Calicowboy's name for T-New, "The Newspaper," because he covers everything.

Eugene "The Hit Machine" Lockhart was always a favorite of mine.

"Mean" Joe Greene was good. Johnny Carson asked him what amde him so mean. He replied, "I just think about my mother-in-law."

Slingin' Sammy Baugh was a good one too.

[Yeagermeister]

Hambone or Brickhead - Troy Hambrick :D

[JackMagist]

Really? Now, I have never heard those! :eek:I think it was Brian Piccalo who gave Sayers the moniker. He called him that in "Brian's Song".

:star:

[Yeagermeister]

He took on Okoye in the hole and knocked him backwards. Okoye was 240 Atwater was at most 215 or 220. Atwater was a safety for those that don't know.

BTW Kenny was "The Snake" long bofore Jake Plummer came along.

I think you are correct that he also shared that name.

[REDVOLUTION]

This new moniker of "Crankcase" given to QC

:starspin

I had come up with one for Quincy a few years back. "MadQ Disease" - claiming that all Carter Lovers had MadQ disease.

[Yeagermeister]

And still is as far as I'm concerned.

[5Stars]

I think you are correct that he also shared that name.

They should have named Clint Longly "The Mad Puncher" for slugging Roger in the mouth when Roger was taking off his jersey and could not defend himself!

Longly slugged him, then ran like hell to his dorm room, grabbed some of his stuff and took off! He even left his rattlesnake in the dorm room! :lmao:

[CrazyCowboy]

Manster = Randy White ....has always been my favorite.

[onetrickpony]

Wasn't that hung on Alworth by "Dandy" Don Meridith?

Lou "the Toe" Groza

Lester "The Molester" Hayes
Rod "He Hate Me" Smart :D


How the hell we forgot Moose is beyond me.

[jackrussell]

The Silent Assassin - Steve Atwater *one of my fav nicknames*

You think 'silent assassin' is a bit redundant? I mean, the opposite would equal 'noisy assassin', being noisy probably isn't an asset in the assassination business, kind of an Inspector Clouseau of assassins.

Isn't Jack Tatum's book 'They Call Me Assassin'?

[JackMagist]

Wasn't that hung on Alworth by "Dandy" Don Meridith?Actually Don Merideth was no longer playing for the Cowboys by the time Alworth go here. I don't know who gave Alworth the nickname but he had it while still in San Diego.

Alworth came to the Cowboys in a three-way trade that sent Lance Rentzel to the LA Rams (I forget who San Diego got) after he (Rentzel) got in some trouble here in Dallas. Rentzel was a WR who wore #19 same as Alworth and he DID play with Merideth but I forget his nickname.

I think some people tried to give him that tag but LaMonica <sp> was first and most famous for it before Kenny "the Snake" Stabler took his job.

BTW Kenny was "The Snake" long bofore Jake Plummer came along.

I was listening to sports radio in Atlanta and the question was to name some player's nicknames that you don't like.

One guy with a deep southern accent says "I can't stand Jake Plummer's nickname.."the snake" because he stole it."

The host of the show says "yeah, I can see that as being an insult to Kenny Stabler."

The southerner replies "screw Ken Stabler, I'm talking about JAKE ROBERTS."

I don't doubt you're right, I just remember DM calling Alworth Bambi on MNF and thought it was one of Merideth's famous nicknames that he seemed to hang on people right and left.

I remember Merideth hanging "Lil' Puddin'" on Walt Garrison! I still miss his wit on MNF.
