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

                      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?

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