<![CDATA[Perfect Nickname for the Browns Defensive Line]]>You are all aware that some of the great defensive lines in history have had Colorful Nicknames. Purple People Eaters, Doomsday Defense, Fearsome Foursome, Steel Curtain, Orange Crush. The Browns had the Dawg Defense that related more to the Defensive Backfield.

Well, I think/hope this DL we are going to have is going to be outstanding. And if it is, it needs a good nickname...and there is clear choice in this regard: We will have a line consisting of Garrett/Shelton/Ogbah/Ogunjobi. So, just taking a cue from those last two guys and we get:

The OGRES.

I mean, how great is that? From Wikipedia:

ogre (feminine ogress) is a term used in myth and folk tales for a variety of abominable and brutish hominid monsters, informally large, unpleasant, grotesque, predatory, and typically cannibalistic towards normal human beings, infants, and children. Ogres and similar creatures feature in mythology,folklore, and fiction around the world, appearing in many classic works of literature and fairy tales.

Now THAT is what we want out of our defensive line. Large, brutish, unpleasant, predatory.

The OGRES.

I think all the serious nominees are now in the nominee list... or at least the most serious of multiple candidates listed... although sometimes it was hard to tell. If I missed one, let me know. I did not include every nominee from those who nominated more than one.

Also I believe all the 2nded nominations from both threads are now in that list.

Both can be seen here: http://thebrownsboard.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46755&do=findComment&comment=704998

First animated show in prime time. I'll admit, l looked it up.

You need a better search engine...

Correct answer is:

The Flintstones were the first original, animated Prime Time series. If you're of a certain age you may remember a short-lived, summer replacement program that rebroadcasted animated shorts hosted by Dick van Dyke... although I forget its name... maybe Fun (something)?

Bonus POP: What was the name of the second original, animated Prime Time series?

On a more serious note.....I vote for an ID we can all appreciate....how about the traffic jam.....and then we can all wear orange barrels and disrupt traffic and mess up someones day, create a few car wrecks, etc....

How about -

Eerie Wave of Pain

or

WatchDawgs

or

'D'Flatliners

lol - The Wall in the North

Eerie Watchmen

With slight change from one of your suggestions, "North Wall"?

"WatchDawgs" is STILL my fave.

Hm. It seems like none of those were from a random fan on a random forum.

I think that should be your new screen name....random fan. There is certainly little if any why or wherefore to anything you seem to say.

Just negativity about anything at all. Perhaps a better name would be Goolie Jr.
