Pacman, Sports Sobriquets, Johnny, Joey & Week 7 NFL Picks


Adam Jones meets with owner Jerry Jones prior to an NFL game against the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland on Sept. 7, 2008.

Adam "Bonehead"...er..."Pacman" Jones now has four weeks off to figure out what zero tolerance policy means.  The odds were 4:1 that he wouldn't make it through the season and I'm going to collect on my winning bet... 







As far as nicknames are concerned, Pacman is pretty good.  However, here are the SDSG's Top 15 Sports Sobriquets...


15.  Don "Slick" Watts

14.  William "Refrigerator" Perry

13.  Earvin "Magic" Johnson

12.  Andrei "AK-47" Kirilenko

11.  "Broadway" Joe Namath

10.  Jason "White Chocolate" Williams

9.   Chuck "The Rifleman" Person

8.   Wayne "The Great One" Gretzky

7.   Alan "The Answer" Iverson

6.   Gary "The Glove" Payton

5.   Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins

4.   Eric "Sleepy" Floyd

3.   "Pistol" Pete Maravich

2.   George "The Ice Man" Gervin
 

and #1 goes to...





Sarah "Winkie" Palin!  What...nicknames that I make up aren't eligible?  Fine...







#1 will now go to "Dinner Bell" Mel Turpin (being guarded by one of my favorite players...Alton Lister)





Obama, McCain
#621 on Senator John McCain's everything but the kitchen sink strategy:  Give 'em some tongue





DOH!!  Three, four...same difference.
