What's in a Name?

I was sitting with Butch, a Seahawks fan and good friend, yesterday in the local Burger King, mainly because there was no Carl's Jr. nearby. In front of him was his Double Whopper with Cheese, while I was enjoying a simple Whopper . . . never did like cheese on my hamburger.
Looking at Butch's sandwich, I remarked out of the blue, "They're trying to attach the moniker 'Royal with Cheese' to the Broncos' number two receiver."
"Nnnawww!!" Butch exclaimed in feigned shock, his eyes growing wide and jaw dropping. "When did this happen?"
"They've been trying that for a while" I replied, humoring him.
Butch opened his sandwich and pulled on the cheese, watching it stretch into little strands and stick to his fingers. "I'd say that would be a better name for the receiver you unloaded on us," referring to Colbert, of course.
It's amazing to me, this nickname business. Why do they want to name Eddie Royal after meal entrees? The other day, someone suggested "Eddie 'Spaghetti' Royal."
And then we have others calling him "Casino." Wow, does he look like a gambling hall to you?
Well, I'll have to admit, I have been spamming "Fast Eddie" all over the place.
But today on one of the message boards, a poster said now that we have "Casino" Eddie Royal and Brandon "Slot Machine" Stokley, we are going to have to figure out some "casino" names for Cutler, Marshall, and Scheffler.
Okay, it's all good. You can call Eddie a hamburger and Cutler "Liver and Onions," if you want. I don't care.
What I want to call them is Super Bowl Champions. That's when I'll be happy.

How about...
Crown Royal? Too…….alcoholic?
For offensive nicknames, so far we’ve got:
The Beast (B-marsh)
Chef (Scheffler)
The Torain Train (Torain)
Unstopped Bowling Ball Force (Andre Hall- coined by Horvil Tiki)
“Fast” “Easy” Eddie “Hands” “Casino” “Crown” Royal(e) with Cheese
Jack “Hammer” Motherf****n Williams
Brandon “Slot Machine” Stokley
We still need nicknames for:
Cutler
Clady
Selvin Young
Daniel Graham
Prater
We still need to clarify:
Royal
Lichtensteiger. Who is he? K-lic? Licks ten tigers?

Chef
Chef (Scheffler) – Reminds me of KC

I hear ya AZ on that last sentence
however now a days players seem to be getting a lot of nicknames. It usually comes from other teammates or just fits his name.
I actually like Eddie “Casino” Royal
I would be interested to know what nickname Chris Berman on ESPN would give Royal.

It took this old man a long time to figure out "Royal with cheese".
So for anyone else that is as slow as me…
It comes from a famous exchange in the movie “Pulp Fiction”.

Wait ... We must not re-use nicknames
Steddie Eddie is Ed Mccaffrey also known as Big Ed. At least in my circles. We like Fast Eddie for the Royal version.
My image is the Circa 1960-’61 Broncos home uniform sock. Some what folk lore to me ... but referred to as the clown sock by my Dad.
by YellowStoneBronco on Sep 19, 2008 10:50 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
We also called McCaffrey...
Mr. Ed after the horse and Ichabod Crane from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Anyone else notice that he could star as Ichabod in a movie?
FYI… I need to clarify. While I may joke, Big Ed is one of my favorites all time. Nobody laid it all on the line like Big Ed. When he broke his leg… my heart wept.

I hate Mr Ed references, living here in hell that was the bad nickname for the greatest QB in the history of the NFL.

Special Ed
came up a lot around our house, as well as Easy Ed. More fun then accurate, but that is kinda what it is about.

New name for Cutler?
Over at Broncos Forums, a poster came up with one for Cutler: Laser Jay.
Pretty cool, doncha think?

You know
I like this one! Has a ring to it, fitting, not too cheesy (no pun intended)…not bad!
As for Royal with Cheese, as HT noted, it’s not so much the food or cheese, but the exchange in Pulp Fiction. Unfortunately, that does leave a good number of people out of the loop on why it’s a fun nickname (not assuming you didn’t know), which isn’t always the best option.
I guess we’ll just have to see what happens over the next year or so. I don’t mind Casino Royal (good book, iffy first movie, good second movie, IMO), and The Slot Machine works well…but I don’t feel the need to come up with casino-based names just to fit a theme. Marshall will always be The Beast…because he is a beast!

Laser Jay is great!
Has anyone said, “Prime Time Cutler?”
We could shorten it to ‘Prime Cut’…..maybe too meaty.

I was with everyone on the Royal with Cheese, but Royal is a pretty good name to begin with.
I don’t need a nickname for every guy on offense. It just feels like we are getting carried away (IMHO). With the exception of K-Lic, but who wants to pronounce Lichtensteiger every time his name comes up.
