Football Player Nicknames

[Raiders Army]

Is it just me or aren't there any good nicknames out there for football players any more? Billy White Shoes Johnson, The Assassin, The Rocket Ismail, The Minister of Defense, Primetime, etc. are just some off the top of my head I remember.

The only guy I can think of right now with a nickname is Steroids Merriman...err...Lights Out.

You can't call a player "The Assassin" in this day and age. Well except O.J.

[Maple Leafs]

There's still Adrian "All Day" Peterson.

P.S. You forgot the best football nickname ever, The Nigerian Nightmare.

I think the best nickname for a current player is "Joey Harrington." The best thing about it is that it can apply to any quarterback, and it's transitory. Every time a quarterback throws a pass and misses his receiver, he gets the nickname "Joey Harrington." It's great when it happens to the quarterback who's playing against your favorite team.

I like Troy "bounty hunter" Polamalu.

imma kill that fuck

I always liked Howard "House" Ballard. Kind of dwarved "the Fridge." House is just a great nickname of a big offensive lineman.

"Ocho-cinco" is a pretty good one, too.

The Steelers have a few nicknames that are widely used, but are not overly clever:
"Big" Ben Roethlisberger
"Fast" Willie Parker

[JPhillips]

Iron Head was great.

[JediKooter]

I think we should make some up for the players since there is a lack of nicknames...

"Fumblesaurus" Rex Grossman
Mike "Must Love Dogs" Vick
Sebastian "The Drunk" Janikowski
Ted "Gunga" Ginn Jr

[Maple Leafs]

Sebastian "The Drunk" Janikowski

Actually, "Sea Bass" is a solid nickname.

[Dr. Sak]

Najah "The Dump Truck" Davenport

[Honolulu_Blue]

Calvin Johnson's nickname is "Megatron".

There's also Flozelle "The Hotel" Adams.

[miked]

You are forgetting the Fulcher Vulture and Carl Zander of the Jungle. Man, some old school Bengalis.

[Kodos]

J.B. "Magic" Dennis (http://www.fof-ihof.com/player/player.php?playerid=8378&stat=4) has a cool nickname. :)

[Logan]

Advance notice that anyone who quotes a bunch of Bermanisms will earn the wrath.

[Kodos]

I love Chris Berman. :)

[st.cronin]

Matt "Big Homo" Leinart

[korme]

CJ has Ocho Cinco

Swaggs pointed out the Steelers ones... I thought Adrian Peterson was the Man Child?

Then there's Tom Terrific.

How anyone could gloss over Pac-Man is beyond me.

Yeah I guess there isn't a whole lot, as compared to the NBA.

[Pumpy Tudors]

I like D.J. "How Do I Played Middle Linebacker? Do I Go This Way Or What?" Williams.

[st.cronin]

Eli "Not Peyton" Manning

[Logan]

I thought Adrian Peterson was the Man Child?

Not like it really matters, but I remember him being referred to as "All Day" going back to his freshman year. Hence, ADP.
