@@VarsityAthlete04signing that deal meant he had faith at the time that something would change. Obviously, that never happened. They let him down, so it was more than fair for him to ask for a trade after years of disappointment. Same goes for Matt Stafford.
Yeah. The whole "I'm seeing ghosts" things was a sports media cheap shot, because "seeing ghosts" is football slang for mentally getting overloaded by an unpredictable pass rush. Without that context it made Sam Darnold sound like he was going "there are monsters under the bed!" to his coach.
Lester Hayes' nickname was The Judge. No one called him "the molester". And you missed some CLASSIC Raider nicknames: Skip Thomas: "Dr. Death" Ted Hendricks: "The Mad Stork" and "Kick Em In The Head Ted" Darryle Lamonica: "The Mad Bomber" Kenny "The Snake" Stabler
And another great Raiders player was Bob "Boomer" Brown. I love the story about how he was dominating, I think it was L.C Greenwood when "Mean" Joe Greene swapped to line up against Bob for the next snap. According to Joe, he said the next thing he remembered was getting up from the turf with one shoe knocked off and his helmet twisted so much that he was looking out the ear hole. hahah
Marion the Barbarian was one I was always fond of. RIP Marion Barber, gone way too soon, CJ2K was another amazing one. And, being a Bills fan, I feel obligated to include Josh Allen's badass nickname, "The Winter Soldier."
Former Ravens edge rusher Terrell Suggs was nicknamed "T-Sizzle", and there is a very interesting backstory of how he got the name. It actually came from his cousin D'Marr Suggs who played college basketball at Idaho State, who got the nickname "D-Sizzle". Trying to live up to his cousin's reputation, Terrell matched the nickname, and we have "T-Sizzle". Shortened or not, the nickname stuck with Suggs throughout his NFL career.
This breakdown of NFL nicknames is epic! From Beast Mode to Megatron and beyond, each story is pure gold. Love how the legends got their iconic names! 💪🔥 #NFL
I do appreciate that Cousins played along on the plane and took all the teasing in stride. Man recognizes he isn't The Type but he still has fun with it. I respect that
Muscle Hamster, Donkey Kong Suh, Honey Badger, Air McNair, Ickey Woods, Merton "Goose" Hanks, Tony "Goose" Siragusa, Jevon "Freak" Kearse, Deuce McAllister, Champ Bailey, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, I could keep going Edit: he got muscle hamster and honey badger at the end😂
@@NoIns1ght Honey Badger fits him so well though. Seriously, though, the guy has an unbelievable ego for being a top safety all of a year or two on the best team in the nfl those years.
Seeing Captain Kirk try to dance in all those chains is kinda cringe but then it made me remember that you forgot about The Amish Rifle, Fitzmagic. He always pulled off the most ridiculous outfits too. 😂
The best nickname of all time is Rich Jackson's "Tombstone" which signified the end of the line for quarterbacks and running backs. Some other great ones you missed were Randy White "The Manster" Roger Staubach "Captain America" Kenny Easley "The Enforcer" Fred Dean "The Hammer" Gale Sayers "The Kansas Comet" And several from the Raiders which someone else commented about
@@KorithStoneheart 😂 You're right, at first he absolutely hated it but as his hall of fame career progressed, he went from hating it, to it's okay, to now in his later years he embraces it and likes it. Guess some good names like those kinda grow on you after awhile. I personally think it's one of the best nicknames.
Billy "White Shoes" Johnson John Abraham "The Predator" "Big Play" Willie Clay John Riggins " The Diesel" Jessie "The Hammer" Tuggle Jevon Kearse "The Freak" Lou "The Toe" Groza Ken "The Snake" Stabler "Ironhead" Craig Heyward... Soooooo many yall left off
Sweetness is just too perfect for Walter Payton. I think the truth is probably both his skill and his demeanor. It was all just Sweetness. Walter Payton Man of the Year will always be my favorite award each year, its cool to be great at a game, its even better to be great at a game and great as a human being. Every years winner becomes a personal favorite player of mine to follow. The great thing about some of this "vicious" players like Dick Butkus or Reggie White is how nice they were off the field 🤣its amazing how that switch can flip for the greats.
3:38 fun fact for those who don’t know: the fans in the stadium went so wild with jumping up and down the nearby seismic activity sensor picked up on this and thought it was, an earthquake this is where the name “beast quake” comes from
I had a nickname for Phillip Rivers. I was a Chargers fan and called him Phillip Rezzy. I have no idea ,but it i remember watching Sunday football with my friend who passed away, and I got him saying it, and my brother. Good times
The year was 2005, at tri cities high school.. I spent the summer of my 12th grade year learning and switching from wide receiver(JUnior Varsity) to Middle linebacker(varsity)...I loved my new position, the first pre season we had, I remember going in the game on 3rd and goal, they tried to run up the middle, but I stopped them short, I laid such a Big Hit, that's what they called me Big Hit Britt.. that season of my senior year, I got over 50 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovery for a Touchdown, I wore the number 52 in honor of Ray Lewis influence to the way I play the game... Imagine if I embarrassed that position in 9th grade onward.. Peace yall..
I'm glad that the video mentions "Muscle Hamster", but how do you leave out "Pocket Hercules" from that segment? And, "Megatron" is great, but what about "Legatron" and his two other awesome nicknames "Greg the Leg" and "Young GZ"? Also, "The Human Joystick" should have most certainly been talked about. One doesn't just get that nickname for no reason. Lastly, while he wasn't a great player, Rod "He Hate Me" Smart who was really only known for that nickname.
Big Ben's nickname actually doesn't come from his size, it was a play call from his college days that coincidentally coincided with his name and stature. He tells the story on one of the episodes of his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger.
@@justineebourgeois3420🤣 then the all time rushing leader at the time? Okay. Peyton had been grinding it out on that team for nearly a decade before they actually got good and won a ring.
I think having the last name "Kelly" had a lot more to do with "Machine Gun Kelly" (I was a kid during Kelly's era, glued to NFL games, and I don't remember ever hearing that nickname. I mean maybe? But it wasn't like "King Henry" let alone "The Refrigerator".
Peyton “the sheriff” Manning was a good one as well.
Xavier “Rhodes Closed”
Megatron was one of the saddest situations ever. A player so good who played on a team that was so bad. He deserved better...
He didnt have to stay
You mean kind of like Barry Sanders on that exact same team? 🤣

I've seen some people referring to Sam Darnold as 'Ghostbuster' ever since he started playing well with the Vikings, and I'm kind of hoping it sticks.

When they had the case files background at 7:24 after talking about a Bills player I totally thought they were gonna talk about The Juice.
For some reason, he didn’t talk about how the beast quake literally had a high number on a Richter scale litterally making it an earthquake!

Can we talk about Jamal Anderson and his "Dirrty Bird" nickname or Devin Hester nickname "Anytime"?
Night train lanes nickname came from the fact that he was afraid to fly. So when heading to games he would take the night train to away games.
Calais Campbell was the Mayor of Sacksonville.
