Player Nicknames - Part 2

Part 2 of this post....(CLICK HERE for Part 1)

So, we have a tradition here on The Phinsider of calling players anything but their given name.  Why?  Why not (us).

It gave us things like The Flying Squirrel and the Rothweiler.

Plus, favorites like CP10 and DC$.

We also had some controversy as debates continued between Mach 19 and The Ginnja.

As such, I thought we should do a nickname post., so we can nominate and then decide on nicknames for our players.  I am going to list about 10 players (give or take in each post) below, and ask you all to please nominate some nicknames.  Once we make it through nominations of all 53 players (and some might not get nicknames...you know, not everyone deserves a nickname...yet), I'll do a post to vote on names, and then we will be set for the year...

Until we decide to debate a different name.

Star-divide

 

Ted Ginn, Jr. - Mach 19, Ginnja, Sippin On...and juice,

Brian Hartline - He Loves Me, Leave'em Flatline, The Flying Squirrel 2.0, Rocky (as in The Flying Squirrel)

Patrick Turner

Greg Camarillo - Rich

Davone Bess - 7-11

Jake Long - All Day, Tree, Orange

Andrew Garner

Vernon Carey - The Land Mass

Jake Grove - Overpaid

Shawn Murphy - Stout

Donald Thomas - Claymore

Justin Smiley - Skeet

Joe Berger - Cheese

That's pretty cool....

Doug Gottlieb actually has the Phins making the playoffs (heard him on ESPN Radio)

Along with Matt Mosely, they are the only ones on ESPN who actually picked the Dolphins to make it to the post season.

“Expert” picks.

okay #2

I generally like shorter nicks cause they are easier to type

Ginn-Gigolo-cuz he can score at anytime AND gets paid well to do so! (expanded on RZ’s)

Turner-Trojan-cuz he is one and seems to stretch like latex (changed RZ’s around)

Long-Gibralter (as in the rock of)

Alright, if I must...

Ginn = BeGinn!
Smiley = Swoop
Hartline = Hartstrings
Turner = can’t beat Rzayo’s
Vernon = HAY vern

btw Ricky is now offishially, rRr

Gotta go. I’ll be back after the game. More drunk than now.

Armchair QB's always complete the pass and armchair coaches always pick the right players.

Yes, Larry Little is still the man.

Devon Bess- “the best”

Awesome

I’ve been calling Miami’s corners “Miami Vice” since April for some reason, which means Will Allen can be Crockett and Vontae Davis/Sean Smith can be Tubbs. You can also call them “Sonny” and “Rico.”

Someone suggested calling Vontae Davis (VD) “Gono” or “Syph,” which seems genius.
You could also call Hartline “Sonny” because Crockett was a collegiate wide receiver on Miami Vice.
