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.

How about the 'Goodfellas'. Khaliff was talking about how this team became his family, this would be a different kind of 'family'.

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)

Krunch Bunch
Dome Patrol
Sack Pack

The best nickname the defensive secondary ever had was "Lockdown U" - Loved that one!

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

The Monster Mash!

One of the worst comedian teams ever IMO

"Agent Orange"

That's giving new meaning to the *GREY* Cup!

I have to agree with the whole team thing,but if you had to name the Defense I would go with the DEADLY DOZEN

we're the bullies

Orange Krush is the tciket.
We own the orange colour, Denver uses it as an alternate colour.

Dirty Dozen, now that was a movie. And like them we take no prisoners.
