No

While we're on the subject of nicknames, just found this out about Caleb Lightbourn. Legatron is a good nickname.

Greg "With The 3rd leg" Olsen is a better nickname. #7thfloorcrew

I havent seen the Burt Reynolds version(Because I aint as old as balls) and I had no idea if he drilled the ref in the balls like Sandler did, hence the reference.

 

 

 

And guys.. It is not up for discussion. His nickname is A-Magic in honor of his dad T-Magic.

 

Closing time is a terrible nickname.

I actually find "Closing Time" pretty funny.

Well, that’s usually how these things work.

 

You usually get a nickname if you’re really great, really horrible, really short, or have a name that rhymes with a lot of fun words.

 

But yes I agree - we should have nicknames for all.

Bro Pain? 

 

I’m just saying players have nicknames all the time. Most of them get them before they even get to college.

 

I mean most people have a nickname of some sort that sticks with them.

 

Sidenote: I’m far from a bro; I actually find it offensive. If anything, I’m more of a hipster, so much so even my given name is a bit ironic.

I've seen people refer to Martinez as "The Closer" because his number & initials are 2am - when Lincoln's bars close.

"The Closer" would be much better, IMO

A few buddies and I had a bar in our separate garage in college.... We called it "Closing Time".... Also called ourselves "Buffalo Hunters", and it had nothing to do with Colorado.

What does his playing time have to do with having a nickname?

 

Usually nicknames are given when there is a body of work showing tendencies and strengths (or weaknesses).

I was calling Moiraine, Bro Pain because she mentioned the rhyming nicknames. And for what it's worth, I don't find "Bro" offensive at all so if/when I use it, it sure isn't meant to be offensive.

I was given a nickname one time because someone at work thought I looked like Gomez from the Addams Family...

 

LOL!  At least it wasn't "Thing".

Nope, he hits Ray Nitschke. Twice.

 

Best bit in the whole movie is when they are in the huddle after it.

Saw a story on him when he came to the Panthers.  Said he never thought that would go live....Hilarious stuff.
