Nicknames are fun

[Bobhaze]

I’ve always enjoyed sports nicknames- especially when they really fit the personality or history of a player. The Cowboys have historically had some great nicknames for players over the years. But it seems like the practice of issuing sports nicknames has faded somewhat, although we still have a few good ones like “Tank” Lawrence.

Here are a few great player nicknames from the past:
“Dandy” Don Meredith
Ed “Too Tall” Jones
Roger “Dodger” Staubach
Tony “Thrill” Hill
Bob Lily “Mr. Cowboy”
Everson “Cubbie” Walls
“The Beautiful” Harvey Martin
Cliff “Crash” Harris
Randy White “The Manster”
Tony Dorsett “TD” or “Hawk”
Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson
Darren “Woody” Woodson
Rayfield Wright “The Big Cat”
Nate Newton “The Kitchen” or “Big Nate”
Michael Irvin “The Playmaker”
“Neon” Deion Sanders or “Primetime”

Some of our current players:
Travis Frederick “Fredbeard” or “T-Fred”
Ezekiel “Easy E” Elliott or “Zeke”
Leighton Vander Esch “LVE”
DeMarcus “Tank” Lawrence

I know I have forgotten some. What are some other nicknames for past and current players and what nicknames might be appropriate for current players?

Here’s one NEW nickname I am suggesting for today’s team:
“Coach Vanilla” Jason Garrett

Kenny "the shark" Gant.

He had a t-shirt he would wear...el gato or something like that, that supposedly meant Big Cat.

You're gonna kick yourself on this one...

Daryl "Moose" Johnston

 

[erod]

And now we have "Hot Boyz".

 

[pete026]

How could you forget "Bullet" Bob Hayes???

 

[jazzcat22]

Though he had the name before he arrived here.
The Rocket, Raghib Ismail.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Bob you need to bench yourself for leaving out Bob the bullet Hayes
Crap I see I got edged out by Pete

 

[maryquality]

Jason "the Senator" Witten.....although, this is only a nickname we game him.

 

[erod]

Nicknames were forever ruined when A-Rod arrived.

Everybody just started using that lazy pattern for everybody. It gets really annoying when "journalists" use that when addressing players they're interviewing.

 

[Bobhaze]

Bob you need to bench yourself for leaving out Bob the bullet Hayes

Agreed. An egregious oversight by this Bob!
