Nicknames for Donald Brown

As we all know, it's important for players to have nicknames. During the FO draft, I stated the following, after suggesting that all players be compared to dinosaurs:

"Monkey Business: Donald Brown is a great one-cut, north/south runner, much like a Velociraptor."

It has subsequently been noted as being "the single greatest line ever written about the game of football."

Consequently, I'm recommending that we nickname our new rookie running back Donald "Velociraptor" Brown.

Thoughts?

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Stampede Blue's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan though, which is as important as the views of Stampede Blue's writers or editors.

just my opinion

but Nicknames should probably have less syllables than the players actually name

Great line though. I just don’t like big, kinda awkward nicknames.

The Iowa DT tandem of Matt Kroul and Mitch King became known as “Kroul and Unusual Punishment” and I used it. But only to refer to them together. Unlike other Iowa fans I never called King “Unusual Punishment”, mostly because it’s 5 more syllables and about twice as many letters to type.

"The Donald"

Epic before he’s even taken the field

i like that one

quick, to the point, and funny too

if i had photoshop, i would cut and paste trumps head on brown’s body for laughs

I would like to see Chad Ocho Cinco traded to a team that already has a #85 on the roster. Then, I would like to see #85 refuse to give up his jersey number to Chad Ocho Cinco. That would make my day....

This came from one of our new readers I'm Not Alone, I'm Just Blue...

“Down Town Donald Brown”….I think its a clever yet catchy name for him with that ability to hit through the hole with explosion for a long gain.

I think a tandem name with Addai would probably be better. White and Johnson can shove “Smash and Dash” up their ass.

I think a decent name for a tandem of (hopefully) elite RBs is “Lethal Weapon” after Riggs and Murtaugh. I could easily fit “Addai and Brown combine to form one Lethal Weapon.” “The Titans have to face the Lethal Weapon next week.”

Haha, sorry, I just thought this one up and it’s sort of cheesy but kind of cool – “Lukes of Hazzard”.

Ooo, this is a good one “The Alpha and the Omega”. "Thus, twice when the title appears it is further clarified with the additional title “the Beginning and the End”"

The Beginning and the End is pretty foreboding, and is probably how they’ll be used. But the Alpha and the Omega means the same thing and sounds cooler. Too bad somebody will probably take it as a religious reference.

“The Brothers Grim”. Sounds cool and is also another foreboding one, even though the movie wasn’t great. Took the second m out for effect.

Or just trump all that “Thunder and Lightning” crap with “The Perfect Storm”. On the other end of the movie title spectrum, “Dazed and Confused” is kind of cool for elusive RBs, or “The Outsiders” (great book/movie and the name rules). I’m surprised Addai’s nickname isn’t “Die Hard”, then you could do “Live Free or Die Hard.” That’s actually pretty cool. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, don’t really like that one though. Natural Born Killers, Fear and Loathing, Fatal Attraction, Hot Fuzz, and Apocalypse Now are pretty cool. Probably way too dark, I’d better go home.

And by the way, if we’re just giving one to Brown, I like Donnie Darko. I’ll keep thinking some up.

Jim Sorgi runs a 4.6 40. That's all I've got to say about that.

it may sound weird but...

the first time I saw Addai, his face reminded me of a brownie…weird huh? worst thing is, it still does remind me of one (maybe im just hungry all the time), so…a name for the tandem would be…“Brown and the Brownie”? or “the brownies”?

just forget that plz

We'll probably have to wait

to see what he plays like before we give him a nickname. Hopefully it won’t end up as Donald “No Hands” Brown" or something. Even still, I like “The Donald.” I know “UPS” is kind of lame, but I can’t wait to see signs in the stands of Lucas Oil saying “What can Brown do for you?”

I'm in law school...

And I highly doubt that UPS would sue over it. It’s free publicity for them. It’s use of a trademark essentially and no one is going to confuse an NFL RB with a package delivery company or think that Donald Brown is actually endorsed by UPS. Although it would be extremely smart of UPS to endorse him if he starts making it to Pro Bowls.

plus, just saying it doesn't do anything

if he started selling t shirts with his face and the phrase, then there could be liability. Again, that doesn’t mean they’d care enough to sue, but it could give rise to liability.

I don’t think us picking a nickname here is going to stick before he’s even played his first game. Rather it will be something his teammates hang on him or something some announcer says during the course of a game that will stick.

That is pretty good

Not to mention it fits much better than “What can Brown do for you?”. That’s not really a nickname. And “UPS” would be the equivalent of nicknaming someone “FedEx.” Maybe if the dude’s name was Roger Federer it’d be cool, but I don’t like it. I think sticking with the theme would be cool if his nickname was The Postman or the Delivery Man to have a double meaning of delivering TDs and saying “What can Brown do for you?”

Along the lines of First down Donald Brown could just be First Brown.

Carnell Williams was Cadillac Williams at Auburn, because he changed direction so smoothly, but after drafting him, the Bucs’ players said he had to earn the right to be called Cadillac all over again. They refused to call him that at first. I guess after he was rookie of the year, they gave in. I don’t remember. Do they even call him that now?

“Don’t expect another 43-carry from Brown, who’s new nickname in the locker room is “Hollywood”. Edsall didn’t realize Brown had 25 carries at halftime on Saturday, and will most likely get Allen more involved to give Brown a rest. Brown has 71 carries for 404 yards in his two starts, but hasn’t felt fatigued yet. Probably not a good idea to keep up that pace, however."

I like the irony, it’s a name the guys who played with him gave him, it’s a “fun” nickname, and it’s as good or better than the ones we’ve thought up so far. And if he ends up having an awesome career, the nickname has staying power along the lines of “sweetness”.

Crap, Hollywood was Thomas Henderson’s nickname. Hmm, I didn’t know that Reggie’s “Batman” or “Stately Wayne Manor” was actually listed as his “official” nickname. I guess Berman gives annoints nicknames for everyone? I guess we should just call Peyton Superman and Brown Shazam and call our offense the Justice League.

He’s a great kid and you will absolutely love him!

As good a football player as he is (and he is a very good one), he is a much better person.

You will also be pleasantly surprised once you see him play. He is quick, excellent straight ahead speed and very strong (per a few announcers he has the best stiff arm they’ve seen in years).

He won’t was time or motion (or yardage) dancing around behind the line of scrimmage, he’s quick to the hole and if he finds a crease he can be off to the races.

I’m a little jealous as we only had him for three years while you get to keep him for far longer.

Nickname people, Nickname

Now to something more important…. Donal Brown Nicknames!

Sing with me to the tune of Bad, Bad Leroy Brown by Jim Croce………………………………

"Bad….Bad….Donald Brown"
   "Fastest Man in the whole darn Town"
"Badder than old King Kong"
    "Meaner than a Junk Yard DOG!"

Yes, can you hear it in 70,000 voices at LOS after every long run or TD!!

Welcome to the Colts Bad, Bad Donald Brown! Can’t wait to see your stiff arm in action!!

Pressure is somethig you feel when you don't know what you're doing!
-Chuck Knoll
