Now I'm not saying everybody has to be Chris Berman, but can these homer announcers please try a little harder in coming up with nicknames for their team's players? I was watching an NFL Network Replay of the Packers game, and according to the Packer's commentator, Aaron Rodgers' nickname is, you guessed it, A-Rod. There's already at least 2 A-Rods of notoriety in sports. There was even a Sportscenter promo making fun of the phenomenon. Aaron Rodgers showed up too late to the party. Would've been cute 8 years ago. Now, it's lazy and repetitive.
On a related note, how come some of these athletes keep the nicknames their grandparents gave them when they were 5? Pacman Jones is Pacman because he was a chubby kid who ate a lot. That should've probably stopped some time after the 8th grade. It took him getting kicked out of the league for shooting people at strip clubs to finally go by "Adam."
What's your name?
Nitro.
That a nickname or somethin?
No, but I'm workin on one. What do you think of this? Mike. ??
