With all the new nick changes occurring, what is your nickname for Eddie! Here's my entry.! Eddie "The Kid" Griffin kinda menacing like his chequered past, recognizes him as the 1st kid taken by Rudy/CD, and acknowledges CriscoKidd for winning the bet. Don't mess with The Kid. The Dream, Wink, The Cat, The Kid, mooochiieeee [This message has been edited by crispee (edited July 05, 2001).]
stupid newbie mistake double post.sorry [This message has been edited by crispee (edited July 05, 2001).]
should be base on his playing style After a few games it will come to us Right now . . . Griff sounds right Rocket River ------------------
Uhhh...how about if we don't call him "The Kid"...Maybe he should have a nickname that...Oh, I don't know...doesn't sound stupid? I can imagine Eddie Griffin, ten years from now, being called "The Kid" in his early thirties... If you have to "choose" a nickname for somebody, then it's the wrong one...Think about the great NBA nicknames The Dream The Glide The Stilt The Pearl Air Magic The Ice Man Dr. J Those nicknames just flow off the tongue...Nobody had to sit around and "think" up those names...they just sounded right, and they stuck Griffin hasn't even played a single minute in the NBA yet, so I think trying to plaster a nickname on him now is a tad premature...After we see him play for a while, after we see what kind of style he has, then a nickname will eventually come for him...If he plays his entire career without a cool nickname (there have been many good players without nicknames, believe it or not), then I don't think Griffin or anybody else will give a flip Now, I return you back to your regularly scheduled dumb jokes and Simpson Quotes ------------------ Mein bratwurst has a first name, it's F-R-I-T-Z Mein bratwurst has a second name, it's S-C-H-N-A-C-K-E-N-P-F-E-F-F-E-R-H-A-U-S-E-N
Besides, "The Kid" is already taken by Kevin Garnett, even though they spell it "Da Kid". ------------------
A-Train, so "Wink" flows off the tongue. lol And it is kinda silly since The Cat is faster anyhow. Sorta like Air when a teammate can jump higher than you. No fair mentioning 4 rhymning nicknames. Besides, this is a stupid ESPN-Berman-esque nicknaming thread, kinda making fun of nicknames. Offer up a nickname you bum.
The Ghost The Sleeveless One The gentleman Mongoose Eliminator ------------------ humble, but hungry.
Besides, "The Kid" is already Billy Wagner's nick in that other sport in this town. I like the "Griff" thing, because it pays homage to one of this city's top sports fans. Ultimately, however, it's going to come from the players or the media. One of the disadvantages of coming out so early, not enough time to get a decent nick developed ------------------
- EGriff - E.G - Griff - The Electrfier Of course, when in doubt, we could always go back to the ever popular "Eddie!". Azim da Dream ------------------ "Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease." - Geroge W. Bush, commenting on the troubled continent, to reporters in Sweden
How about Eddie, in the Oomfoofoo voice from Eddie Murphy's "Raw". That would leave all sorts of options for the announcer's to say "I want half!" which won't make sense out of context. But that shouldn't Calvin from giving it a whirl. That would be funny as sh*t to see Calvin spewing cookie crumbs all over Bill while screaming "I WANT HALF!" I'd pay my cable bill to see that. ------------------
how about 1.flaming drpepper 2.purple bandit 3.the unreproachable jumping tangerine the fungus with the most "something that rhymes with fungus" 4.eddie "not cato" griffen ------------------
I like E.G. that was my great granfather's name . He manufactored the first skid steer loaders . ------------------ Reactions after The Rockets got Eddie Griffin for 3 draft picks "Eddie For 3 ... Yes!!! O Mother!!!!!!!"
Thanks JAG. As I said before, I have always enjoyed Fast Eddie George, Fast Eddie Johnson, Fast Eddie Taubensee, and now...... FAST EDDIE GRIFFIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------ It's Clutch's City and we're all just living in it...

Every time I hear "Fast Eddie," I think of that old promo spot on MTV from the mid 80's - "I'm FAST Eddie Clark from FASTway and I want my MTV!" ------------------ How the hell should I know why God would allow the Holocaust. I don't even know how the electric can opener works. - from Hannah and Her Sisters
I vote for "Edie" (EEEE-DEEEE) like in that "The Cult" song. ------------------ All hail Fadeaway's Cyberfish -- your 2000-2001 BobFinn* Fantasy Basketball League Champions!
