Chad Ochocinco? What's so wrong about that? By the way, when is your boy Crabtree going to sign?

its a horrible nickname. incredibly dumb and boring. nicknames happen over time. notice "megatron" is fading away from Calvin Johnson. because it was forced. if a player doesnt have a nickname, he doesnt have one.

everyone seems to think all players must have a nickname. insert first letter of first name, dash, then a part of their last name, ie "M-Rob". its so bad....

Now see...are they nicknames or just abbreviated forms of their names that are quicker and easier to type than their full real names since their full real name is made up of 2 very common names and can easily be mistaken as a different player if not said together, thus requiring one to write their entire full name for others to truly know the specific player be references towards.

If you dont like nicknames, you dont like football.

He has a lot of respect for how Frank runs and for all he's overcome with injuries. Peterson said Gore is one of the top backs in the league.

Peterson is THE top back in the league.

by far

and it's not even close.

Oh so thats what by far means...

I'm wouldn't trade Gore for any back including AP. Gore keeps his mouth shut, lowers his head and runs motherf**kers over.

He is a great leader, and STILL an elite back in this league. Let's get this passing game going a little and he will have even bigger numbers. The dude rushes for a 1,000 yards every season eventhough every week the opposing team gameplans to stop him.

Gore is the Man

Wholeheartedly agree my friend. Everyone on here feels the need to label every player, talented or not, with a nickname. Most of them are just god awful and corny. Reminds of stuff we'd discuss on a 4th grade playground. I appreciate a true nickname but those develop over time and are usually relevant and clever ie: The Bus, Joe Cool, Mean Joe Greene, Reverend Ike, etc.

no one runs like how Peterson runs in the league now.... Peterson is just fast, quick off the line and just a bruiser when he gets to the DB. he just punishes corners and safeties

It also doesn't hurt having Bryant Mckinnie and Steven Hutchinson to run behind.
