Quote:It might be, but it sure beats Blaine Swaggart. 

 

Some of you people create the nerdiest nicknames ever for our players. 

 

Swaggert was bad because Blaine never really had a swagger. But Uche Nwaneri came on here and said he made it up.

 

B2 Bomber, on the other paw, is based on a 57-yard touchdown pass to our second draft pick instead of a falsely perceived mental trait. So we have proof on YouTube it fits him. Now if you want to change that to B5 Bomber, go ahead; just don't tell me what number to use.

 

I totally agree with Jax Jags but he forgot to include some plays - Immaculate Reception, The Catch, Music City Miracle, and for a famous string of plays, The Drive. What I did in 2011 was call Josh Scobee's 59-yarder "The Big Kick" and David Garrard's Hail Mary "HaIl Michael." My nickname for Scobee is "The Colt Killer" because many of our wins against the Colts ended with his right foot.

 

I have heard complaints about nickanmes being recycled. This is nonsense. I am too young to remember anyone named Jake the Snake who did not play for Arizona and Denver. I also am too young to remember anyone named A-Train who did not play for Michigan. Now if two guys had the same nickname at the same time I would see the problem. B2 Bomber has never been used before in the relatively short time I have been a big football fan, so I am not worried about it.
