Jagger69

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
Jagger “the Steer” 69

I don't think you intentionally meant to offend me, BI, as it is an obvious reference my Longhorn fanaticism and maybe they don't have a whole lot of bovine creatures in your neck of Ohio so perhaps you didn't know but a steer is a bull that has been castrated. :eek: Of course, you also gave t-rock a name that has a definite connotation with a brand of condoms so.....hmmmm.....:dunno: :1orglaugh:dunno:

Recently, ESPN's first take featured a spot with Barry Melrose and Jalen Rose going head to head on hockey vs. basketball on a few categories including nicknames. I gotta admit, Kobe's 'Black Mamba' handle is pretty unique, but recently OKC's Kevin Durant has been dubbed 'The Durantula' which is just flat out awesome!

So what are the best nicknames all time in sports??? Here are a few:

Michael 'Air' Jordan (of course)
Ervin 'Magic' Johnson
'The Iceman' George Gervin
'The Human Highlight Film' Dominique Wilkins
Eldrick 'Tiger' Woods
'The Last Emperor' Fedor Emilianenko
'The Motor City Cobra/The Hitman' Tommy Hearns
'The Easton Assassin' Larry Holmes

"Sid the Kid"

Obviously "the Great One"

"Bonecrusher Smith"

"the Polish Assassin" (that would be my favorite boxer of all time, Andrew Golota.

Gotta go with "the King," my favorite (and the nicest) golfer in history

"Slammin' Sam Snead"

"Lord Byron" Nelson

"Pistol" Pete Marovich

For teams would have to go with the "Broad Street Bullies"

...and "Legion of Doom"
