D'Jasper Probincrux III = DJP3

Javaris Jamar Javarison-Lamar = JaJaJaLa

Davoin Shower-Handel = DSH

Hingle McCringleberry = HMcC

L'Carpetron Dookmarriot = Dook

Xmus Jaxon Flaxon-Waxon = XJaFlaWa

I personally hate when people use

He's a "poor mans" _____________

That's my biggest issue


I'm gonna start referring to current guys in terms of a parallel with a random old player

He's a rich mans Rocket Ismael

Does that make them a Scud Missile ?

[cazzie33]

ODB ... what's wrong with that ?

Are you not a fan of the Wu Tang Clan ?

I dont like it for a more practical reasons....it makes using the search function harder than it should be. The forum software wont even let you search for AB or MT or ASG or OBJ or any other 2 or 3 letter combination.

I dont mind the shorthand in a post if you are writing a long post and reference players repeatedly, but typing the guys names out at least once in the title or at the beginning of the post makes things a whole lot more searchable.

great point.

I don't understand the fascination with Bitcoin, Adderall, memes or skinny jeans but hey...times, they are a changing.

FWIW, the only thing worse than ODB is the use of ARod for the Packers QB

[mzkp54]

AR15 is a pretty terrible nickname
