<![CDATA[Nicknames]]>Perhaps the reason the Browns don't win enough is that they don't have enough players with good nicknames.

Is there anyone on the Browns currently with any kind of nickname?

There have been some great nicknames in football past. Dante "Gluefingers" Lavelli just left us. The Mad Stork, The Assassin, the Nigerian Nightmare, Night Train Lane. etc.

Does anyone know of any Browns with a nickname? We had K2, but let him go. That is the only one I can recall.

Better yet, propose a good name for some of these players. I mean, who really wants to call him Mohammed Massaquoi.

We could always do the "play on name" nickname, and go with "Massacre Massaquoi" or something, but that has been overdone somewhat. Come up with something for these guys.

Because of him being a baby about how Mangini didnt talk to him.

PGL, you need a sig update. 😉 Kind of interesting how some things have changed though.

Mike Furrey could be named after a particularly successful Rolling Stones album: Sticky Fingers.

I doubt that any of our corners could earn the nickname "the Bedspread" for the way they cover.

Can't you hear me knocking, got to be one of the best songs of all time.

Maybe Wright, he's played very well thus far.

Its better than, Vinnie Johnson's nickname aka “The Microwave”

No way, The Microwave was perfect for him because when he came into a game he "heated things up in a hurry".

It makes sense as a play on "Casino Royale" the James Bond movie. Plus, you could suggest that this guy is a big gamble.

How about Michael "Bow Wow" Vick ?

or Brett " Unretired" Favre ?

or Eli " Im richer than my brother" Manning ?

or Plaxico " Thank god it missed my Balls" Burress ?

Or, if DA is going to stay around, call him "The Prosecutor". I kinda like that one....if DA would do his business right.

(FYI, in Ohio we don't use the nomenclature "District Attorneys", we have "Prosecutors")

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).

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.
