    LOl... Manziel has earned many more nicknames than that!

    Joe "The Brown Bomber" Louis

    Ernie "Arrowhead" Holmes...the shooter of police helicopters.

    Wasn't there a "bullethead" on the Browns. His last name was Johnson, first name escapes me. Linebacker.

    He was hard to find, but I found him on YouTube. Eddie "Bullethead" Johnson.

    I've know him to be called "bullethead" but evidently he was known as the "assissin" as well.

    Jesus ? I dont think so. Earl Monroe's nickname was "the Pearl" as you posted the name.

    I think they were talking about his height.

    You mean Dick Trickle? Oh, wait....that was not a nickname.

    Is "Duke" a nickname for Johnson? Or is that his real first name?

  • Good question, his first name is actually Randy. But the "DUKE" is in -quotes- (lol),

    so it's a prominent middle name used as the first name, or he didn't have a

    middle name or something.

    Beats me.

    Duke "White Shoes" Johnson. I think that's great.

    I stand corrected. I thought black jesus was some other playground legend.
  • "Strauss the Mouse"

    Bruce Strauss (born February 6, 1952 in Omaha, Nebraska)[1] is a retired boxer who is more known for his losses than for his wins. His nickname is The Mouse. He achieved notoriety in the 1970s and 1980s after fighting, and generally losing, to a wide variety of opponents, with him also being known for his cheery, easy-going personality. It has been estimated that, combined with his fights using the Ruben Bardot alias, he might have actually lost more than 150 fights by knockout. He himself has made mockery of his knockout loss number, stating that he is "probably the only boxer in history that has lost by knockout on every continent." He once joked that the only reason that he hadn't fought and lost in Antarctica was that he hated being cold.

    I remembered watching this guy on tv sometime in the 70's and thought it was a funny name for a boxer "Strauss the Mouse". The only time I saw him fight he got clobbered which apparently was something he was used to.

  • I prefered Ken "The Mouse" McFadden.

    No bubble bursting here, but B. "White Shoes" Johnson was not a RB but was a bitchin kick returner and WR. Those White Shoes were not that fast in the Wildcard Game in Cleveland in the Snow, as I Froze My Ass Off from the Pound. Woof Woof!! We good with DuuuKKKEEE for now.

  • Nice job, Gumby - I was wrong, I labeled him a rb because I remembered his

    running the ball like a little wild man and going for big yards.

    Except it -was- on krs.

    Still a great nickname.

    Good stuff. Think you and many other players still have thoughts of Earl Campbell running them over.
