Cash2Burn Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 The best I can figure some "fans" gain some sort of psychic satisfaction if they can develop insulting nicknames for players they don't like. They find it even better and evidentally funnier, if the nicknames have some sexual connotations. Just to get as far as he has, Mike Pucillo must be an incredible football player but maybe just not quite NFL material. Not one of you would call him kitty willow to his face but are emboldened by your anonymous nature here to be big shot name callers on the board. The best I can figure these are probably the same people who find Jim Rome hilarious. 13268[/snapback] Amen, brother.
millbank Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Also wish they could find a space for Jason Peters such a big man and he is only twenty two, as said above working with him in two years he could be a very useful player.
buffaloboyinATL Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Was Peters the TE that was as big as an OG? 13270[/snapback] Yup, that's him. I hope he makes the PS too. He could be fun to watch some day.
jarthur31 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 NM 12976[/snapback] I would've cut Fast Freddie before this guy. Sure, he may suck but he doesn't fumble on kickoffs on no contact! Geezus!!!! I wonder how many TH fumble haters like this decision.
bernielivsey_1 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Peters must not have shown the coaching staff anything.

But that's just me - a person who likes to laugh at things, not walk around with a stick in my ass trying to be holier than thou, and just take things for what they are worth. But again, that's just me.

I also enjoyed the cheap shots about the stick and the attitude. Have the Bills cut pussywillow yet? Thought you might enjoy it one more time.
stevestojan Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Thanks for making my point about the connection between gratuitous name calling and the enjoyment of Jim Rome. 13423[/snapback] What? That we say it how it is, and don't need to hide behind PC bulls#it in order to protect everyone's sensitive little feelings. !@#$ that. That's why Rome's show is the most honest. He, unlike people like you, doesn't care if someone's feelings might get hurt so we can speak truthfully. Pucillo's nickname was easy, because it sounds like PussyWillow anyway. That, combined with the fact that he is weak at his position (relative for an NFL athlete), makes it funny. Now, before your blood pressure goes through the roof with all this trying to be PC and polite, next time you hear "Pussywillow", smile and move on. Don't sweat the small stuff.
nobody Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Pucillo's nickname was easy, because it sounds like PussyWillow anyway. 13437[/snapback] I thought it was because he liked to celebrate Dyngus Day.
R. Rich Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Wow. Who knew a simple little nickname would stir up so much angst? BTW, it was me who came up with the nickname for Mr Pucillo. My post was intended to be sarcastic, since I obviously knew full well who came up with the nickname.
