The Gipper Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Perhaps the reason the Browns don't win enough is that they don't have enough players with good nicknames. Is there anyone on the Browns currently with any kind of nickname? There have been some great nicknames in football past. Dante "Gluefingers" Lavelli just left us. The Mad Stork, The Assassin, the Nigerian Nightmare, Night Train Lane. etc. Does anyone know of any Browns with a nickname? We had K2, but let him go. That is the only one I can recall. Better yet, propose a good name for some of these players. I mean, who really wants to call him Mohammed Massaquoi. We could always do the "play on name" nickname, and go with "Massacre Massaquoi" or something, but that has been overdone somewhat. Come up with something for these guys.

The Gipper Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 MoMass has stuck since we drafted him. That though is a lazy, bad name, like A-Rod. I did think of one: Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack. Something like that is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Brady "Big Dick" Quinn Are you so intimately familiar with him to know that that name fits? Perhaps to you he should be "Goldmember" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Based on last year, Braylon Edwards almost got to pick up on Boxer Roberto Duran's nickname: Hands of Stone. Hopefully that name will not apply to him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the motive behind a nickname laziness? Quick, easy and memorable.

Erie Dawg Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 jamal "where's my walker" lewis Really I thought he was running pretty hard the other night, especially on the screens. I like our odds with him out in the flat catching passes, he may not break one for 80 yards but he'll punish the guys enough that someone else will. Romeo "Fat Ass" Crennel.

This is the modern NFL, not the Navy (no offense to the Navy, or its members, just meant the Hollywood idea of the WWII era Navy). I disagree that the motive behind a nickname is laziness. If it is just laziness then any diminutive name could apply. No, I believe the purpose of a nick name is to incite endearment to a person based on some personality trait or other attribute.. Calling someone The Round Mound of Rebound is certainly harder than just calling him Chuck. So no, I don't think laziness should be the criteria for a good nickname, though I agree it often happens like A-Rod or MoMass. Why not just call these guys Al or Moe.

Yes, James Davis is a name that definitely cries out for a nickname. Though "Thunder" is a bit too cliche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Of course there could be the semi-cliche Brady "The Mighty" Quinn. Or, if DA is going to stay around, call him "The Prosecutor". I kinda like that one....if DA would do his business right. (FYI, in Ohio we don't use the nomenclature "District Attorneys", we have "Prosecutors") Also, if Kameron Wimbley would get and keep his motor running he could be "Keeps on Ticking". (For those of you old enough to remember, it was an actor named John Cameron Sweazy that was famous for I believe the Timex Commercials where he said, "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking".
