Ruby Noon got me to thinking. NFL players lack the great nicknames of the past. So here is a list of a few that I came up with. Feel free to add any you come up with in the comment box.

Marshall "I don't give a" Faulk
Neil "Nice" Rackers
Matt "Walk the" Leinart
Champ "Barnum and" Bailey
Trent "Deal or No" Dilfer
Demarcus "Tupper" Ware
"T-"Rex Grossman ...or Rex "My passer rating's" Grossman
Laveranues "Stocking full of" Coles

Joe "Around the" Horn
Marc "Battle of the" Bulger
Leonard "Chicken" Little
Shawn "Eat,drink, and be" Merriman
Philip "Rolling on the" Rivers
Dominic "The long and winding" Rhodes

(Bare with me. The spacing got messed up.)

Marvin "The tortoise and the" Harrison

Kellen "I'm on a team that keeps their number of" Winslow

Larry "H to the" Izzo (a little Jay-Z reference)

Randy "A rolling stone gathers no" Moss

Shaun "Of the Dead" Alexander

Ron "The not so great" Dayne

"Hanging" Chad Johnson

Dwight "Nothing comes for" Freeney (and neither does he apparently)

Jeff "Baby Got" Backus

 

So there you go. Add on to the list whenever you want.

"Hanging" Chad Johnson.

LOL Best one yet.

And I agree with Coletrain, CCR and The Beatles.

Yeahhhhhhhhh.

Wow, I that was great. I couldn't help but think that some of those names were Berman-esque.

July 20, 2007  08:24 PM ET

Not cool AdamLee, I had at least 3 of these written down for my next argument in the throwdown with Ruby Noon (which you commented). Now I can't use them without having "stolen" them.
