BuffaloRush Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 I’ve listened to Brandon Beane’s past media appearances. Whenever he talks up Nate Peterman, he always says “he’s Steady Eddie.” What the hell does “Steady Eddie” even mean? Is that like calling someone “Charlie Hustle?” I’ve never once hear anyone call someone a Steady Eddie, so I don’t know what that means.

Though Bean couldn't say the "eady" part of Steady just once...had to be twice.
drf1835 Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 Eddie Murray, likely named after him. Very reliable baseball player of the past. His nickname was such.

Is that like calling someone “Charlie Hustle?” I’ve never once hear anyone call someone a Steady Eddie, so I don’t know what that means. Expand It's an old idiom or cliche. You can find it in the urban dictionary. It's a very old saying. Was around when I was a boy and that was a while. Means you can count on a person for consistency. It's been around since before Steady Eddie Murray, who was a terrific player by the way. Very consistent. And a Hall of Famer. EDIT: Here's a 1962 vintage "Steady Eddie" balancing game. Murray's rookie year was 1977. And Milton Bradley didn't make up the name, they just used it. It's been around a long time. https://www.amazon.com/Steady-Eddie-Balancing-Original-Version/dp/B00B5TOHBS And Hockey Hall of Famer Ed Giacomin was another Steady Eddie. Mel Allen used to call Yankee pitcher Ed Lopat (1944 - 1955, 166 - 112, career ERA 3.21) Steady Eddie. Again, it's a really old phrase. Edited September 5, 2018 by Thurman#1 1 1

Expand Well, in the LA/SD game, straight into the hands of the defensive unit. ? OK, Straight Nate promised not to let it happen again. Edited September 5, 2018 by Ridgewaycynic2013 Cutting the starting QB some slack.
