Nicknames

Any football fan has heard some of the nicknames that Chris Berman gave players on ESPN's NFL Primetime highlight show on Sunday nights. A few examples:
  • Eric "Sleeping with" Bienemy
  • Tom "Here's a story of a man named" Brady
  • "Hey, you, get off of" Mike Cloud
  • A.J. "Touchy" Feely
  • Brett Favre "Egnoogen"
  • Jon Kitna "Kaboodle"
  • Amani "It's not a" Toomer
  • Vince Workman "My way back to you, babe"
Well, Panthers.com is having a contest for best Bermanesque nicknames for Panther's players. Current Panthers already with Berman nicknames are:
  • Jake "Daylight come and me wanna" Delhomme
  • DeShaun "Bananas" Foster
  • Mike "After Dinner" Minter
  • Chris Weinke “Dinky Dunky”
  • John Kasay “at the foot”
  • Brad Hoover “vacuums his way into the endzone”
Now, as a diehard panthers fan, I had to try to come up with some nicknames... and here they are:
  • “Scary” Keary Colbert
  • “My cousin” Vinny Ciurciu
  • Michael “capital” Gaines
  • Reggie Howard “Johnsons”
  • Jeff King “of the endzone”
  • Kris Mangum “P.I.”
  • Dan “the captain” Morgan
  • Julius Peppers “QB, mmm!”
  • Mike “QB Wrecker” Rucker
  • Adam “not a steward” Seward
  • Steve “where’d he go?” Smith

Michael “capital” Gaines

Would that be long-term capital Gaines or short-term capital Gaines?

He better figure that out before April 15 rolls around.
