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.

Thanks for using the word “journalists” with the proper Quotation marks. 90% percent are paid hacks with an agenda. Their headlines are already written weeks in advance. They killed a once Noble profession

BTW, what does “ cubbie” stand for with Everson Walls?

Dak "Crutch" Prescott, not sure whether the team is going to lean on him or whether he's going to lean on the team
No matter what corner you're in you can spin this one to your liking

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

Good list!
You forgot Bill " kick butt" Bates.

But odd that Easy E moniker would be Zeke's given that Easy E of NWA was a misogynist and applauded Dr. Dre's brutal and bloody beat down of a female journalist in L.A.
