  • Nfl Nicknames
    Superstitions, Cont’d. T Daniel Loper, Tennessee Puts his equipment on left to right in game order for every practice and game. QB Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Reads the game program cover to cover before every game. RB Moran Norris, San Francisco Does not walk under the cross bars before games. FB Mike Sellers, Washington Does not eat before a game, even if it’s a night game. WR Maurice Stovall, Tampa Bay Gets his hair cut every Friday and watches a Bruce Lee movie before every game. CB Charles Tillman, Chicago Has the same person stretch him and tape him. DE Jason Taylor, Miami Does everything from right to left. K Lawrence Tynes, Giants Washes his car before every home game. LB Brian Urlacher, Chicago Eats a couple of chocolate chip cookies before every game. NFL NICKNAMES “Peanut” may not be the first nickname that usually comes to mind for an NFL player, but that’s exactly the name Chicago Bears corner back CHARLES TILLMAN has gone by since childhood. But the nicknames get even more creative — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback BYRON LEFTWICH gave his teammate MAURICE JONES-DREW the nickname “Pinball” after the way defenders bounced off the running back during training camp last year. Ranging in origin from athletic ability to size or demeanor, these nicknames give a creative insight into the players they have been given to. Here are some other interesting NFL player nicknames: PLAYER NICKNAME DERIVATION Anthony Adams, Chi. “Double A” Teammates say he moves constantly, just like the Energizer Bunny.

Batch, a nine-year NFL veteran and Pittsburgh-area native, starts in place of BEN ROETHLISBERGER, who underwent an emergency appendectomy on Sunday. Batch aims to lead the Steelers to their fourth consecutive Kickoff Weekend victory in the club’s first game following its Super Bowl XL championship. Culpepper, making his first start as a member of the Dolphins, can make history in 2006 by being the first player to lead both the AFC and NFC in touchdown passes for a season. Below is a team-by-team look at the men who will play quarterback in the AFC in 2006: BALTIMORE: Acquired in a June trade with Tennessee, STEVE MC NAIR leads the Ravens’ offense. In the past 10 seasons, McNair (153) stands second among active AFC starting quarterbacks in touchdown passes (PEYTON MANNING, 244). The three-time All-Star needs 2,859 passing yards and 61 rushing yards to become only the third player in history to throw for 30,000 yards and rush for 3,500, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers FRAN TARKENTON and STEVE YOUNG.

  • Why Would Bruce Arians Be a Good Choice As a Coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
    Why Would Bruce Arians Be A Good Choice As A Coach For The Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Starting out in 2003 as the Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receivers coach, Bruce Arians has come a long way and made quite a name for himself as one of the best. Arians left the Steelers when his contract ended; he was offensive coordinator when he left. Bruce Arians became the offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts on the 28th of January, 2012. Later that year, 1st of October 2012, he became the interim head coach, because Chuck Pagano became unfit. Arians had a huge part to play in the team's winnings and records in the years following. Arians led the Colts to a 9-3 record, which is part of one of the biggest one-season turnarounds in NFL history. The nine wins are the most by an interim head coach in NFL history. Pagano returned as head coach on December 24th 2012, with Arians returning to his old position in the team as offensive coordinator. Bruce Arians was named the 2012 AP Coach of the year making him the first head interim head coach to win the award. Arians joined the Arizona Cardinals as head coach in January 2013. Since 1925, Arians is the first coach to record at least nine wins in his first season. Cardinals were the #5 seed in the NFC in 2014. Arians became the AP Head Coach of the year again in 2015. Arians led the Cardinals to a franchise record in season wins. Looking at his past experience as coach, Bruce Arians is very capable of guiding and leading his team to victories and endless touchdowns.
