    Not "Tides", but "Suds". However I like Poprocks sig. Carl "Gorilla" Landry.

    I was gonna say "CL6" but his jersey number is not 6, but for those that know a lot about fast cars, you know about the CL6. I would like one with a clutch, lol. That was for Landry, though it would make more sense for Brooks since he is so fast. Anyhow, I like "Brooksy (or Brooksey)" for A.Brooks.

    - After Burner
    - A B cu later

    Landry:

    Fivehead

    Carl Landry is to foreheads what Jay Leno is to chins.

    Whatever happened to all the Darkwing Duck suggestions for Aaron Brooks back when the season first started?

    As for Carl Landry, I'd say save judgment for his nickname until he sees more playing time, at least until he gets a Landry's Signature Player of the Game recognition. ;)

    Landry= Hot Carl

    Seems easy enough. Could you imagine Bill Worrell, "Here comes another Hot Carl move" ;)

    Along that track -- A Bee line (to the basket or stats).

    As for Landry's quick strikes -- the Carlsnake.

    Crash-Board Carl


    [​IMG]

    Reportedly Landry's handiwork, from his first session. When asked about the incident, Schilling almost sounded proud. Landry bemoaned the loss of his "dunking privileges."

    cause he gets rebounds and shatters backboards with his monster dunks
