    Mr. T pities the fool that uses unnecessary prepositions.

    From bad.. Von Wafer's Express, to even worse...VW Microbus

    but most other nicknames that have stuck to other players are just as bad, if not worse

    I guess it's clever enough, with the allusion to cars, but I'm just so sick of nicknames that use the first letter of the first name and some abbreviation of the last name.

    TMac
    A-Rod
    J-Lo
    K-Fed

    I think it's time to move on from that kind of construction.

    And really, no love for "Baron von Wafer"?

    Volkswagen. Even though our VW is like a Mercedes-Benz.

    I think Baron Davis' presence in the NBA stifles it. Wasn't bad, though.

    I laughed out loud at this for some bizarre reason. I think I'm just wedged in the wee hours.

    How about Vakeaton? That's crazy and appropriate.

    Yeah, that just occurred to me. Darn.

    I guess there are other titles that could work ("Count von Wafer"?), but none really have the same ring. Maybe I need to pull a Nancy Kerrigan on this Davis fellow.
