Off-season Blues: Story of your nickname(handle)

You should watch Eddie Izzard's bit on 'Risk'. "And then lose the whole fckn empire." It's very funny, but eerie given the current world circumstances. : /

 

First name starts with J... last name is Graw.... played metal music for almost 2 decades with multiple bands. Singer of the first and last band I ever played out live with gave me the nickname. Been friends a long time, he's the godfather of my child.

 

When I was a kid, lots of folks called Freeman McNeil and Johnny Hector the 'Two Headed Monster'. Hector's was my first jersey.

 

Sorry to depress you. That wasn't my intent. All is good now. If I had it to over again, I'd do the same thing.

 

Thanks, my friend.

 

Because 1968-1969's Defense held Johnny Unitas and his Colts Offense to only 7 points and won us our Championship and my Grandfathers favorite player of All-Time was Larry Grantham.

And that's how DWC was created.

 

My moniker was given to me by a lady friend.

 

Let me guess, it's the size of your ears right?

 

Entirely down to my football (soccer) abilities...I played for a team called Athletico Black Horse, and our nickname was the Donkeys.

I was given the nickname by a lass though, that's true.

 

Quite a few posters liked that I called you out, Tania

 

I don't know anything about Tania - is that your signature line?

I'd suggest you and yours go back and read what I wrote in the post you responded to - it was a knock on the guy who prolifically claimed Namath was nothing special until he got thrown out. It's too bad there are so many of you who can't recognize sarcasm unless there's an emoji attached.

Likes? Really?

 

soh = South of Heaven. Slayer song/album, fit for a fan of this team
vet = childhood nickname from a smart ass. never served in military.

 

Was that the 'Born to Gun' poster? I remember ordering a few posters from the old Touchdown magazine. I have no idea where they are now but I had a great Freeman McNeil one too, and a Gastineau one. I think they were Sports Illustrated posters.

 

I have looked for it on Google images but no joy at all or my memory of it is different than reality lol

He was in Kelly green taking a throw but I am sure there was a bit of New York behind him and other things around the edge, a jets oval badge/insignia in the corner, could have even been a jet flying in another corner but like I said memory and a lot alcohol has rendered the grey matter unreliable

 

Ok I'll have you all guess

 

You work at a porn theater?

 

I had the born to gun poster in my dorm room.

 

Yep! I had that one! Seems a little homoerotic now, but at the time that didn’t criss my mind

 

That doesn't even look like Kenny O'Brien to me.

 

You can't recognize him because he's not underneath a pile of opposing jerseys!
