That though is a lazy, bad name, like A-Rod.

I did think of one: Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack. Something like that is good.

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

But, it doesn't seem to be sticking here in Cleveland.

I'm thinking, depending on who wins the spot, the Qb could either be called "porn star" or "Jar Jar"

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.

How bout Shaun "Stay Puft" Rogers. although he might want to kill me for comparing him to a five-hundred foot tall white marshmallow

[TheJokersWILD]

Seriously, If the Lions have another winless season, they should change thier logo to the stay puft marshmallow man

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.
