@@VarsityAthlete04signing that deal meant he had faith at the time that something would change. Obviously, that never happened. They let him down, so it was more than fair for him to ask for a trade after years of disappointment. Same goes for Matt Stafford.
Yeah. The whole "I'm seeing ghosts" things was a sports media cheap shot, because "seeing ghosts" is football slang for mentally getting overloaded by an unpredictable pass rush. Without that context it made Sam Darnold sound like he was going "there are monsters under the bed!" to his coach.
Lester Hayes' nickname was The Judge. No one called him "the molester". And you missed some CLASSIC Raider nicknames: Skip Thomas: "Dr. Death" Ted Hendricks: "The Mad Stork" and "Kick Em In The Head Ted" Darryle Lamonica: "The Mad Bomber" Kenny "The Snake" Stabler
And another great Raiders player was Bob "Boomer" Brown. I love the story about how he was dominating, I think it was L.C Greenwood when "Mean" Joe Greene swapped to line up against Bob for the next snap. According to Joe, he said the next thing he remembered was getting up from the turf with one shoe knocked off and his helmet twisted so much that he was looking out the ear hole. hahah
Marion the Barbarian was one I was always fond of. RIP Marion Barber, gone way too soon, CJ2K was another amazing one. And, being a Bills fan, I feel obligated to include Josh Allen's badass nickname, "The Winter Soldier."
Former Ravens edge rusher Terrell Suggs was nicknamed "T-Sizzle", and there is a very interesting backstory of how he got the name. It actually came from his cousin D'Marr Suggs who played college basketball at Idaho State, who got the nickname "D-Sizzle". Trying to live up to his cousin's reputation, Terrell matched the nickname, and we have "T-Sizzle". Shortened or not, the nickname stuck with Suggs throughout his NFL career.
Seeing Captain Kirk try to dance in all those chains is kinda cringe but then it made me remember that you forgot about The Amish Rifle, Fitzmagic. He always pulled off the most ridiculous outfits too. 😂
Sweetness is just too perfect for Walter Payton. I think the truth is probably both his skill and his demeanor. It was all just Sweetness. Walter Payton Man of the Year will always be my favorite award each year, its cool to be great at a game, its even better to be great at a game and great as a human being. Every years winner becomes a personal favorite player of mine to follow. The great thing about some of this "vicious" players like Dick Butkus or Reggie White is how nice they were off the field 🤣its amazing how that switch can flip for the greats.
Muscle Hamster, Donkey Kong Suh, Honey Badger, Air McNair, Ickey Woods, Merton "Goose" Hanks, Tony "Goose" Siragusa, Jevon "Freak" Kearse, Deuce McAllister, Champ Bailey, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, I could keep going Edit: he got muscle hamster and honey badger at the end😂
@@NoIns1ght Honey Badger fits him so well though. Seriously, though, the guy has an unbelievable ego for being a top safety all of a year or two on the best team in the nfl those years.
3:25 beast mode is also a transformers reference. In beast wars they transformed into animals instead of vehicles and the animal form was called beast mode
The best nickname of all time is Rich Jackson's "Tombstone" which signified the end of the line for quarterbacks and running backs. Some other great ones you missed were Randy White "The Manster" Roger Staubach "Captain America" Kenny Easley "The Enforcer" Fred Dean "The Hammer" Gale Sayers "The Kansas Comet" And several from the Raiders which someone else commented about
3:38 fun fact for those who don’t know: the fans in the stadium went so wild with jumping up and down the nearby seismic activity sensor picked up on this and thought it was, an earthquake this is where the name “beast quake” comes from
@@KorithStoneheart 😂 You're right, at first he absolutely hated it but as his hall of fame career progressed, he went from hating it, to it's okay, to now in his later years he embraces it and likes it. Guess some good names like those kinda grow on you after awhile. I personally think it's one of the best nicknames.
I do appreciate that Cousins played along on the plane and took all the teasing in stride. Man recognizes he isn't The Type but he still has fun with it. I respect that
I'm glad that the video mentions "Muscle Hamster", but how do you leave out "Pocket Hercules" from that segment? And, "Megatron" is great, but what about "Legatron" and his two other awesome nicknames "Greg the Leg" and "Young GZ"? Also, "The Human Joystick" should have most certainly been talked about. One doesn't just get that nickname for no reason. Lastly, while he wasn't a great player, Rod "He Hate Me" Smart who was really only known for that nickname.
The year was 2005, at tri cities high school.. I spent the summer of my 12th grade year learning and switching from wide receiver(JUnior Varsity) to Middle linebacker(varsity)...I loved my new position, the first pre season we had, I remember going in the game on 3rd and goal, they tried to run up the middle, but I stopped them short, I laid such a Big Hit, that's what they called me Big Hit Britt.. that season of my senior year, I got over 50 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 fumble recovery for a Touchdown, I wore the number 52 in honor of Ray Lewis influence to the way I play the game... Imagine if I embarrassed that position in 9th grade onward.. Peace yall..
Billy "White Shoes" Johnson John Abraham "The Predator" "Big Play" Willie Clay John Riggins " The Diesel" Jessie "The Hammer" Tuggle Jevon Kearse "The Freak" Lou "The Toe" Groza Ken "The Snake" Stabler "Ironhead" Craig Heyward... Soooooo many yall left off
It was my understanding that Night Train Lane got his name due to the fact that he did not fly and took trains to get to venues, most of the time the trains were running at night. Also, how do you miss "Dracula in cleats"?
Big Ben's nickname actually doesn't come from his size, it was a play call from his college days that coincidentally coincided with his name and stature. He tells the story on one of the episodes of his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger.
This breakdown of NFL nicknames is epic! From Beast Mode to Megatron and beyond, each story is pure gold. Love how the legends got their iconic names! 💪🔥 #NFL
"Lester the Molester" is an insane nickname 💀
Be Widing out your Wide Receivers
😂😂😂
That is the main one I can’t get over 😂😂😂😂
That nickname wouldn’t fly in 2024’ .. 😂
RAAAAAIDERS!! and he was one of the best DB in the 80’s HAYES&HAYNES! Best DB duo in the history of football! RNFL🏴☠️☠️
Megatron was one of the saddest situations ever. A player so good who played on a team that was so bad. He deserved better...
He didnt have to stay
You mean kind of like Barry Sanders on that exact same team? 🤣
@@VarsityAthlete04he retired because they refused to trade him

Yea they need a part 2 lol
Hehe
I've seen some people referring to Sam Darnold as 'Ghostbuster' ever since he started playing well with the Vikings, and I'm kind of hoping it sticks.
Yeah. The whole "I'm seeing ghosts" things was a sports media cheap shot, because "seeing ghosts" is football slang for mentally getting overloaded by an unpredictable pass rush. Without that context it made Sam Darnold sound like he was going "there are monsters under the bed!" to his coach.
the Ghostbuster is on for an MVP season

You expect these people to do some actual research other than reading Wikipedia?
@iconpoet normally Blitz is really good about this kind of stuff. Surprised they missed this one.
People seem to forget Bo Jackson isn't his real name.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they made a part 2
Megaton is my favorite nickname.
MEGTON 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Its so tuff
Million tons, put some repek on it....,

Ever heard of Rich "Tombstone" Jackson? TH-cam him, you'll love it!
12:44 Funny they don't explain Matty Ice is named after a crappy cheap beer used at under-age house parties because it gets you drunk fast.
Marion the Barbarian was one I was always fond of. RIP Marion Barber, gone way too soon,
CJ2K was another amazing one.
And, being a Bills fan, I feel obligated to include Josh Allen's badass nickname, "The Winter Soldier."
How are you not going to mention Kirko Chainz 13:26
Real that's what i said

ONG
Never Hurd those other nicknames kirko chainz all the way

Similar to Young Jeezy, it’s a stage name that stuck around longer than the trends they came from where everything was an -izzle or -eezy
I’ve always loved “Slash” for Kordell Stewart. He was a QB/RB/WR/CB/KR/PR
Went through all dem comic book nicknames but missed Brian Dawkins Weapon X
And Julian Edelman Ironman
@@wademyler9167that aint real
@@electro5711 it is, he also went by minitron
No Brian Dawkins “weapon X” or Peyton Manning “the sheriff” or Kam Chancellor “Bam Bam Kam”
Sorry the sheriff is the only one that I don’t think it’s true
Need a part 2. The Playmaker, Human Joystick, The Manster and plenty others left off

Another nickname for sanders I like is Neon Deion
When they showed Deion Sanders, I didn't know which one they were going to go with.
I like it when whole units (usually defenses) get a nick name ie legion of boom and the no fly zone
Marion "The Barbarian" Barber is one of my favorite nicknames.
NOT EVEN WATER CAN PUT THIS FIRE OUT!!!!!
10:43 😂😂🫣🫣🫣 He really went there
bro i went straight to the comment 😂😂😂 like noooo
Yeah he went far with that one lol

Shady mccoy is also a good one
Jerome "The Bus" Bettis
The original “Bus” shout out Gus Edwards’s tho
"Let's switch gears to a not so religious player....OJ Simpson"
I belted out laughing in public 😂🤣💀
'"Night Train derails Choo Choo" made me smile but I've got a funny feeling " so and so The Molester" wouldn't catch on in this day and age 😊

Can't believe Scary Terry was missed, and im not even a commanders fan
JOOEEE SHEISTYYY
That’s only his nickname because the average age of his fans is 11
The Assassin not feeding directly into Harry the Hitman or Hitman 22, for Harrison Smith is criminal.
When they had the case files background at 7:24 after talking about a Bills player I totally thought they were gonna talk about The Juice.

THE REFRIGERATOR 🥶🥶🥶🥶

The "muscle hamster" is hilarious cuz it fits. Reminds me of mighty mouse and his stature.
Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton owns my all-time favorite NFL nickname.
Your one of my favorite football content channels, keep it up!👍❤
You should do one about team nicknames like the purple people eaters or monsters of the midway or the big blue wrecking crew or the steel curtain
Lol
Joe burrow has like two Pooh Shiesty nicknames 😂
Love it
Look up trap house sports he started that Nick name because of Pooh shiesty
Was really hoping Sonic and Knuckles would be in here... but I guess this came out right as their nicknames were taking off
For some reason, he didn’t talk about how the beast quake literally had a high number on a Richter scale litterally making it an earthquake!
The cheers after it happened caused a mini quake!
I can't believe yall left out the Quiet Storm aka Marques Colston! He and Drew Brees were unstoppable in their primes.
I do appreciate that Cousins played along on the plane and took all the teasing in stride. Man recognizes he isn't The Type but he still has fun with it. I respect that
They were messing with him but they had no idea they were creating what is to be forever know as kirko chains 😂💀
Forgetting Human Joystick aka Dante Hall
Bam bam cam

Kenny Easley the Enforcer!
Honorable mentions for “Handsome” Sam Hartman, and the Head of the Table, the Tribal Chief Frankie Luvu of Washington.

How did you miss HoF safety Brian Dawkins aka Weapon X? His nickname was his alter ego, and he had a locker for each.
Muscle Hamster is crazy lmao 😂
Can we talk about Jamal Anderson and his "Dirrty Bird" nickname or Devin Hester nickname "Anytime"?
Ngl you forgot the Boom for the Seahawks Kam Chancellor Bam Bam Kam one of the hardest hitters
Shouts outs to crazy legs. Guarding him mustve been tough. Cant help but watch his legs xD

I’m surprised they don’t have Ironhead Hayward. He was the running back for the Saints⚜️back in the late 80s.
You forgot PS2 Patrick Surtain
And he has a iced out PS2 Controller chain which is the coolest jewelry I've seen even tho i dont care for jewelry
“The Joystick” is a good one
