    Hate that name anyway. Maybe we should just call him "Barky".

      How did we never come up with a nickname for Phil Dawson?

        Phil was known as Old Faithful

              love the Mike Junkin reference....

              not many will remember Martys reason for drafting the "mad dog"

              come to think of it... why again Marty?

                Mo= Dick Modzewlewski

                OZ= Ozzie Newsome

                Actually was "Little Mo"... a DL we got from the Giants. His smaller brother "Big Mo", Ed Modzewlewski, was a FB with us.

                And Ozzie's full nickname was "The Wizard of Oz"...

                    Thanks. Was Eric Metcalf too fast to tag a nickname on?

                    And here is the original NFL "Big Daddy". Very sad life he had.

                      I don't recall Metcalf ever having any sort of nickname.

                      And I agree that when I heard people calling Hairston "Big Daddy" that I thought that name should have been reserved for Lipscomb....but Hairston came a generation later so what do you do?

                        Metcalf's nickname was "Up The Middle".

                            More of a description of how he was often improperly used. But, yes, I can here Jim Donovan making that call.

                                  Fred Garvin would be a rent boy. Google him.

                                    Lou "The Toe" Groza. Browns training facility address 76 Lou Groza Bvd. Just "The Toe" for short. I was bummed when Dawson left- one more year with the Browns and he would have beat Lou's points record.

                                      Met a retired Lou once in the MetroPark's toboggan run's snack bar when I was 14-ish. Shook hands and he bought me a hot chocolate. Remember thinking he was bigger than I thought he was...
