[Cowboy Bebop]

A favorite in our household- Tuna Surprise.:ralph:

What is the surprise anyways?

What is the surprise anyways?

Now if I told ya, it wouldn't be a surprise...would it?

 

[Cowboy Bebop]

I am disapointed in myself for walking in to that.

'The Electric Company'.

They can light you up, or shut you down.

Its not an orginal by me, I heard this somewhere else. I think I heard this on one of the NFL Films episodes. I really wish I could remember, but I don't think it was in reference to anyone's D in particular. In any account, I the name, buy I did not orginate it.

wasn't that a name of a children's show a long time ago/

How about LIGHTS OUT.....after Roy hits you.

 

[jobberone]

Right now I'm hoping they will be great. What's great is they seem to have enough potential no one is yucking it up over it.

If they are great then I propose Doomsday Too. But as someone said most likely it will just happen and take off.

Someone will claim we stole it from Merrimans tattoo. Then we will claim that is bs, and lights out has been around long before Merriman. Then a debate over Merriman vs Ware will ensue. Then someone will get shot. Then both cities will declare war on one another. Then Nuclear Holocaust.

I'll just be happy if we have a top 3 or 4 D that is good enough to consider naming it.

I don't know where you heard it, but in this week's ESPN mag issue, it's a comment that is written regarding Merriman. In fact, it is apparently a nickname given to Merriman when he was in high school. He was such a hard hitter, he wasn't allowed to practice with his own team.

 

[EveryoneElse]

I like to call them....

Ware's Waldo's

 

[Chief]

Nicknames happen naturally and most often as a direct result from an act or comment from an athlete, coach, or commentator.

Anything else is perceived as forced, contrived, and more than likely unlasting and weak.

Our job as fans, is when we hear it, we'll know it, and run with it.

Very well said.

The Cactus Curtain has a nice ring to it, but it's kind of a take-off on the Steel Curtain.

I would suggest "Border Patrol", but I don't think that's a nickname which would put fear in opposing offenses...

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Ive got it!!! The DOOMSDAY DEFENSE!!!

"I'd like address this suggestion, if I may. Ummm. (lip smack). It wouldn't be prudent ummmm to uhhhh (lip smack) attach a potentially devisive nickname to uhhhhh (lip smack) our defense. Now, we appreciate the interest our fans (wink) have in our defense. Boy, it should be a good one (another wink and slight smile). But we are .... uhhhh ... (lip smack) trying very hard to cultivate our uhhhh image in ummmm Old Mexico and our ummm other neighboring counties ..... ummmm Canada ... so (lip smack) we don't want to ummm scare off, so to speak, all these potential fans. The image of ummmm a bunch of large, fast African-American men in Border Patrol uniforms just uhhhhh isn't conducive to bringing in fans from uhhhhhh South of the border. Oh, and uhhhh, everything is fine with Terrell Owens and Bill Purcells. Don't you worry (wink, smile).

 

[kojak]

Well with Keith Davis on the field they should be called the Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge defense.

Chief, you are one crazy dude! I can almost hear JJ saying that right now in my head!

I absoutely hate listening to JJ...I admire him as an owner, but, man....let someone else talk for you!
