This is just my opinion and will probably get blasted for it, but why do people feel they need nickname for everyone. I remember Hawk Harrelson in the early 80s broadcasted White Sox games. He had a nickname for virtually EVERYONE. It was so overkill that it really irritated me. Nicknames are good when they fit. I feel nicknames are earned and most everyone on a team should not have one unless they are given by the TEAM, not necessarily by the fans with few exceptions.

A nickname should be earned over a duration of time and repeated performance. Sometimes they are awesome like Sweetness, Samurai Mike, and UltraBack (Raymond Harris). Sometimes they are given due to repeated poor performance like Turnstile (J'Marcus. Webb).

IMO, don't be in a rush to deal out nicknames. Call me old school, since I am, but I'm sure some will call me more derogatory names. But, hey, that's my two cents.

Kid in high school was missing his pinky. Friends called him nine. Now that is a great nickname and the way to get one.

Shark because of his dead killer eyes. Not crazy about it either. I'm surprised no one has ever become the great white punter.

Best I can come up with for Tanner is T-Bomb. It's only a matter of time.

I found a college nickname"always open"....I call a guy that that plays soccer in the park in my neighborhood. I don't think it means, and in my case either, he is a great route runner that always finds the space. My friend is a short squatty house built Mexican. You get that nickname because even when you are covered, you are open. You win jump balls, or in my case, he might have 3 guys on him, but I know if I get the ball at his feet, nobody will take it from him, I trust he is always open, even in a crowd. There is a safe spot to get the ball to.

I stand by my vision of how he will make plays Sunday. #Bearfrog

No nickname for Gentry until we know he is a viable asset to the team. Anything less would be a good waste of a nickname.
