KD in CA Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 The Electric Company and The Juice. Those two belong right up there with The French Connection in Buffalo lore.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Ron McDole, one of the best players the Bills have ever had, was known as "The Dancing Bear"…although I believe he got this nickname after moving on to the Redskins.
Bills99999 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I know it is super new, but The Joker has to be up there right? Thurmanater. I loved that guy. Dolphin fam friend of mine used to call Thurman "Fumblina". I had to agree with him Friggen Lonnie! And don't forget "Jay Rearsmegma"....Thank you very much
Chandler#81 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Show off. Yeah, but KRC does it so well! Marlin 'the Magician' Briscoe Louuuuuuuu Piccone Joe D Gentle Ben Williams
Ennjay Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Jim "Earth Quake" Enyart It was actually Bill Enyart, but that's still a great nickname. Unfortunately he played like "Tremor." And the best set of simultaneous nicknames: at one time the Bills had a backfield of "The Juice" Simpson, Greg "Grape Juice" Jones, and "Earthquake" Enyart.

KRC Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Show off. He said I could reference the old Bills. Yeah, but KRC does it so well! Marlin 'the Magician' Briscoe Louuuuuuuu Piccone Joe D Gentle Ben Williams Just a side note: Briscoe is a great interview. Piccone and Joe D were also great people to speak with, but completely different personalities. So it's really a compliment when people see me & say "here comes ol' Dippy Cactus Face Bushel Foot?" Not for you. Dippy got his name in college. He fell on a patch of ice and hurt his knee. He took a shot of Novocain and it made him "Dippy." The name stuck. Bill Gompers does not know how he got the name Bushel Foot (or, he did not want to tell me). He got his foot stuck in a bucket in the locker room and they started calling him Bushel Foot. The name never went away. It didn't make sense to him.
Captain Hindsight Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Always like Trentative and captain Checkdown. Loved when Tim Graham did an article about it and mentioned TBD Chroise was a classic and i like Fitzmagic too Captain Hindsight has spoken!
machinegun12 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Gotta go with my screen name Machine Gun Kelly and one that a friend of mine made up... "Drew Bledsoe much he needed a transfusion"...from when he played for the Patsies* Always liked "Golden Wheels" "the Juice" "Thurmanator" "SpiderMan" This would be the perfect question for Chris Berman to answer.

Beerball Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Chroise was a classic and i like Fitzmagic too Captain Hindsight has spoken! May the Chroise be with you.
Buftex Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Always like Trentative and captain Checkdown. Loved when Tim Graham did an article about it and mentioned TBD Chroise was a classic and i like Fitzmagic too Captain Hindsight has spoken! Not necessarily flattering, like the ones you mention, but two that I always thought were kind of funny, in a deragatory way (and two guys I like/liked): Drew Bledsoe: Drew Deadslow Drew Bedsore Ryan Fitzpatrick: Pickspatrick Clever, kind of funny!
