How about "The Sandmen".

Whomever they hit....will likely be asleep for a while.

Lets just hope they are playing well enough that they could be considered for something like this!

I like them but I say they have to earn a nickname first.

Of this list, I prefer DeCleaters. Of course, we could call them the DEA, cause we are gonna take some Cowboys out.

If they earn it, The Wrecking Crew works for me.

NC43, that's the NYG moniker. It's taken.
How's about Rumsfeld's own "Pockets Of Resistance" ?

"Seven Deadly Spears", nice.

I'd need a nickname that had a saying to go with it--we used to shout "Believe in Stephen" and "Have Faith in the Five!" back in the day (Davis and 5 particular defense players were the origin of those ones).

Something like "Let's see the seven!", except much better than that hopefully. . .

I actually really like Smooty and the Blowfish. The Times Article read that he has really stepped up as a leader and I do think that this is his back 7. Snap, Crackle and Pop is really good too. We should send these into ESPN and See what Chris Berman think about them.

Justice Hog · Post by **Justice Hog** » Fri May 07, 2004 5:32 pm

"Pockets Of Resistance"? I can't go with that. It'll be too hard to say drunk.

tcwest10 · Post by **tcwest10** » Fri May 07, 2004 10:59 pm

No, I got you, JH. I put that in before that darned pot-stirrin' Wysocki came up with "Smooty and the Blowfish".
That's my new fave, especially if we keep Iffy.
That would truly "blow".

Wysocki · Post by **Wysocki** » Sat May 08, 2004 12:00 am

I can see the out-of-town sports pages having a field day with the nickname Smooty and the Blowfish should they have a bad game (pick one)...Smooty and the Blowfish: 'They Blow'; or 'One Hit Wonders'; or 'Out of Tune' or 'Over the Hill'. But looking back at the other nicknames suggested I guess the same can be done for them too...being positive I'll take: Smooty and the Blowfish: 'Making Sweet Music' or '7 Hit Wonders', etc.
