Not enough nicknames for NFL players nowadays...

[Rack]

Was watching something about it on NFL network.

The cowboys have one player with a recognizable nickname that has stuck, Marion "The Barbarian" Barber.

Oh I guess you can also add "BIGG" to that as well.


Why don't Romo, Ware, Ratliff, Newman, Witten or anyone else have nicknames that "Stick"?


We should put a list together, pick the names and refer to them as their nicknames from now on till they stick.

Here's a few ideas:

Romo = Moxie

Ware = BeWare

Ratliff = Hulk (cuz he always does that "Hulk Smash" dance after he gets a sack)

Newman = ...

Witten = No Quittin'

Brady James = Cinder Block (cuz he hits like one, but unfortunately he runs like one too)


Not all players need nicknames. Only the good ones.

What do you guys got?

 

[CATCH17]

Watching our defenders celebrate kinda irks me sometimes.

Celebrate when you get off the field on 3rd down. Until then get up and go back to the huddle.

Flozell the Hotel

Felix the Cat

 

[dadymat]

[Slammin Bran 23]

T-New

Flozell the Hotel

Felix the Cat

You know what I've noticed? Every time someone on our D makes a play, they always do their own little celebration. You never see them celebrating together.

group celebrations are 15 yard penalty

flozell - turnstile

crayton - sir "talk alot."

 

[Achozen]

I'm talking about them celebrating together not elaborate group celebrations.

 

[Number82]

Here's what I call the players ...
"Fair Catch" - Patrick Crayton
"Folk Hero" - Nick Folk
"Fast Felix" - Felix Jones

I liked "Newspaper" for Newman. That one was popular for like 2 weeks on this board.

Warewolf - DeMarcus Ware

Ratliff goes by J-Rat on his official ******* and website.

And obvious there are the nicknames that already exist - "Killa" Keith Davis, Marion "The Barbarian", Ken "The Hammer" Hamlin, Roy "Superman" Williams, Patrick "Spiderman" Watkins, Leonard "Bigg" Davis, and Flozell "The Hotel" Adams.

 

[CF74]

Ware refers to himself as "The Warewolf"

with the way refs call penalties, they would probably call unsportsman if our guys slapped each other five :laugh2:

Here's a couple of suggestions:
Zach Thomas - Barney Rubble
Pat Watkins - Lurch

and don't foget Tank & Pacman

 

[locked&loaded]

T-New

everyone calls him that but it should be TNT

 

[Nav22]

The cowboys have one player with a recognizable nickname that has stuck, Marion "The Barbarian" Barber.

Huh? T.O., Tank, and Pacman are 3 of the most recognizable nicknames in the entire NFL.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

I like Uncle Felix

 

[Eddie]

Tony the Wild Romoan

Patrick "Mama always told me to speak my mind" Crayton

Andre "the Giant" Gurode

Who Dat

 

[Nav22]

Let's not forget Barbie Carpenter.

 

[Rack]

Ware refers to himself as "The Warewolf"

I think nicknames should be given to players by the fans (or teammates) not by themselves.


And "TO" isn't a nickname, People. Those are his initials.


T-New isn't a nickname, it's an abbreviation.

Huh? T.O., Tank, and Pacman are 3 of the most recognizable nicknames in the entire NFL.

Again, TO isn't a nickname.

As for the other two, refer back to my original post...

Not all players need nicknames. Only the good ones.

Pacman isn't in the NFL at the moment (or ever again) and Tank sucks.

 

[Nav22]

And "TO" isn't a nickname, People.

T-New isn't a nickname

Yes, they are.

A nickname is a name of a person or thing other than its proper name. It may either substitute or be added to the proper name. It may be a familiar or truncated form of the proper name, such as Bob, Bobby, Rob, Robbie, Robin, and Bert for Robert.
