Sports Team Nicknames

[Sheeplovr]

Dave brought up how its annoying when sports writers and commentators giving teams nick names that are not the teams name

like bronx bombers and d backs

what about you

[Fallon]

I don't care for the Bosox or Chisox.

[Knowledged_one]

Wiz for the wizards

[Furtherman]

A Chorus Line for the 1919 Chicago White Sox.

[TheMojoPin]

If anyone says "Cubbies," they are teh ghey.

[reillyluck]

skankee's is my favorite nickname for the yankees.

[IMSlacker]

I am fond of referring to the Houston Astros as the Assholes.

[Gvac]

Feel free to call my beloved Red Wings "The Wings" "World's Greatest Hockey Team" "Kings Of Hockeytown" or any such label.

And I love to call the Mets the Mutts.

I like when people call them the 'Stros, cause it reminds me of beer.

[A.J.]

Wizards = Wiz/Wiz Kids

I'm personally trying to spread Azbacks. I just like the sound of it.

[ZigZagBigBag]

i like it when people play the miami dolphins and broadcasters say its time to 'squish the fish'

[Thebazile78]

You missed "Gang Green," "Big Blue," "America's Team" (since fucking when were the goddamned Dallas Cowboys "America's Team" and who fucking decided it without asking the rest of the Americas ... I am sure the Canadians care about as much as I do...) ... ugh.

Oh, and ANYTHING that comes out of John Sterling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sterling_(sportscaster))'s mouth during a Yankee game. (Like "the Giambino," "it's an A-bomb ... from A-Rod," "the Melk-man always delivers," "it's Robbie Cano, don'cha know?" .... die, Sterling, die. And take Suzyn Waldman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzyn_Waldman) with you.)

[hammersavage]

I like the New York Cavs of Cleveland.

And of course the GGGGGG-Men...

Did Dave mention D-Backs by name? Because it's actually on their uniform and used in their official team logos. It was a shortened progression of the Diamondback name, similar how to people called the Devil Rays the D-Rays.

I don't have an issue so much with some of the Yankees nicknames, I DO get upset when Sterling forces the issue on his radio broadcasts.

[bigtim666]

the montreal canidians = the Habs .... WTF

[Freakshow]

His rant seemed to be entirely directed at the Orioles for some reason. I guess he doesn't like the Birds. :thumbdown:

Funny rant coming from someone with muliple nicknames. Dave is a nickname, ESD is another nickname. Self-loathing, I say.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

the montreal canidians = the Habs .... WTF

I usually just call them the Devil's Stanley Cup sweep opponent

[foodcourtdruide]

I never understood why people call the Pirates the Bucs

[TheMojoPin]

[NewYorkDragons80]

I am totally fine with the Mets being called the Amazin's, because they are Amazing... but so down to earth that they informally drop the "g". huddelah huddelah
