Draft Class Nicknames

[flippy]

Anyone know the nick names of the draft class? Here's what I could find.

1. Jarvis - Sacman - not sure I like it
2. Bell - Chocolate Diamond - Did he leave a surprise in someone's closet? - this one's official but I don't like it. how bout shortening it to CDeez
3. Wheaton - He reminds me of the breakfast of champions, but couldn't find anything
4. Shmarko - Shark - makes sense
4. Landry - Doc Holliday - We're gonna see tshirts saying fear the stache - not sure i like this one
5. Hawthorne - Swooshy cause of 22 Nike symbols
6. Brown - JB
6. V Williams - Bug as in VW Bug
7. N Williams - Samford and Son

I need simple ways to refer to these guys. And I'm not typing out Chocolate Diamond.

"Bell" seems pretty simple

[RuthlessBurgher]

Jarvis: Meathead (he asked for it with the Subway food statue).

Bell: Rung (he plows through the hole, and defenders get their bell rung trying to stop him).

Wheaton: Crusher (I'm not a big Star Trek guy, but I watch the Big Bang Theory, and therefore know from the bowling episode that Wil Wheaton's character name on Star Trek was Wesley Crusher. It's better than referencing Wheaton's character in Stand By Me who pulled a bloody leech from his underwear).

Shark's good for Shamarko.

Landry: Fedora (he was named after Tom Landry, after all. Or if folks still carry an anti-Dallas grudge, we can just rename him Noll Jones).

Hawthorne: Sweet (after the hotel chain Hawthorne Suites).

Okay, that's probably enough.

Just don't call Jarvis Jones Ziggy, but I do see a very slight resemblace.

I had no idea Will Wheaton was on star trek. I met him once. Really cool guy. Super big nerd. He looked the same as he did as a kid in Stand By Me but with a beard.

I also had some beer with the original meat head Jared from Subway. I stayed at a hotel one time in DC while they had their national Subway convention. There were like a million franchise owners at the Gaylord. And I went to have dinner with a couple co workers at one of the pubs and I had no idea I was sitting next to Jared. It was kinda funny that everyone from Subway was almost afraid of him and treated him like a celeb. He wasnt so nice to people from what I remember, but he was friendly to us because we didn't work for Subway.

Good memories.

To which Ziggy?












I'd say he resembles Ziggy Marley the most.

I would say your correct, but I thought a slight resemblance to Hood too.

He fits right in with the Melody Makers. Although his Subway replica looks more like Ziggy the cartoon.

[SteelerOfDeVille]

Because it was a former job of his, Wheaton will be Chuck E Cheese for me until he earns something else... the interview was just funny to me...

[Notleadpoisoned]

Landry Jones makes me think of Tom Landry and Jerry Jones so I'll just refer to him as Tom & Jerry.

[Chadman]

1. Jarvis Jones- Some will call him Meathead. Others Saccman. But not Chadman. No, you see- in a desperate attempt to move away from the current influx of Ziggy's into the NFL of late, the Steelers will nickname Jarvis Jones "ZAGGY" as a complete contrast. It's the Steelers way.

Jarvis "Zaggy" Jones

2. LeVeon Bell- Chocolate Diamond sounds like it should be found in the "Wallace hates gays" thread. No, this one is even easier than Zaggy. Bell's nickname is Clara. As in Clarabelle the Cow. as in Cow Bell. Geez- does Chadman have to explain everything??

LeVeon "Clara" Bell

3. Marcus Wheaton- Pretty sure you guys aren't going to get this, but in Australia we have a biscuit company called Arnott's that make Chocolate Wheaten's, which are delicious, and chocolatey & good. So Marcus Wheaton is Arnotts.

Marcus "Arnotts" Wheaton

4. Shamarko Thomas- ok, Shark works..

Shamarko "Shark" Thomas

4b. Landry Jones- Chadman google imaged "L J" in order to come up with something halfway entertaining & found (amongst several pictures of real estate agents) a girl with her boobs out. That made Chadman think that Landry Jones was married. To a woman. Who also has boobs. So his nickname, obviously, is Booby.

Landry "Booby" Jones

5. Terry Hawthorne- Swooshy it is.

Terry "Swooshy" Hawthorne.

6. Justin Brown- Oklahoma WR that transferred from Penn St. This one's easy..

Justin "Judas" Brown

6b. Vince Williams- Williams' number in college was 11. As this messege board is populated with Bingo players, it's obvious Vince Williams' nickname is Legs.... as in Legs 11..

Vince "Legs" Williams

7. Nicholas Williams- It's a little known fact that Coach Mitchell is, in fact, Nick Williams' father. Now- it'd be easy to just call him "Baby Mitch", but Chadman pictures Coach Mitch offering out his hand to Nick with the time old classic "Nick...I am your father" (a la Darth Vader... no colour jokes included) & Nick obviously replying with a long, whiny "nooooo"...

Nicholas "Skywalker" Williams.

Flip, did you go there with the intention to crash the Subway convention ???

[flippy]

These are getting better. I'll try to get as many 'eee' sounds at the end of everyones nick a la Timmy, Wally, Benji, Sandy, AB, etc.

Complete accident. I got in the elevator with 20 marketing people from Subway that were all jazzed up about Subway. And then I was telling someone about it and they were like, we know we're from Subway too. THese GayLord hotels are huge so I'm assuming there were 10,000+ Subway people there. It was ridiculous.

I have the weirdest run ins with people when I travel. Like another time last year I was in Toronto and I was on an elevator in my hotel with 5 models and the CEO of American Apparel. They were having a company meeting that night at this hotel and after dinner when I came back it was like a hot chick zoo in this place. Looking back, I should have gotten in the t-shirt business.

LeVeon "Ring Your" Bell
Jarvis "Carve em up" Jones

The rest gotta earn their nicknames
