This defense needs a nickname....any suggestions?
Moderator: Team Captains
Cardiac Kids comes to mind for an offence, although that was Jerry Tagge and the Cardiac Kids and included the entire team. Kardiac Kids was also the nickname of the Cleveland Brows team in the 80's, a slight ripoff, but also used for the entire team.

Nicknames aren't new to the Lions, my all time fave is the Cardiac Kids. But like any good nickname, you can't give yourself one. Otherwise you come across like "Courteous" Cliff Clavin (hello Swaggerville!).
For the fans to come up with a nickname I think just shows the affection people have for their team. Some that just came to me.....
The Undertakers (a nod to Bill Baker, 1976 most outstanding defensive player)
The Lions Rampant
DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate...the opposition)
The Wrecking Crew (a nod to wall of famer Ty Crews)
Terminal D
The Spats (because they tap dance all over the opposition)

12 Angry Men! Brilliant, David. Smothers Brothers, also brilliant. How 'bout a nod to Bobby "Boris" Pickett?

With 8 starters bring 30 and over come Grey Cup they could soon be known as Grumpy Old Men................football relatively speaking of course.
You're as old as you've ever been and as young as you're ever going to be.
That's giving new meaning to the *GREY* Cup!Hambone wrote:With 8 starters bring 30 and over come Grey Cup they could soon be known as Grumpy Old Men................football relatively speaking of course.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand.
