It kinda died when he came here, because we didn't have orange the way the Broncos did. There was a contingent that tried "Teal Julius" but it didn't work for obvious reasons. I never heard anyone call him that. But I don't live in the Miami area, and most of my interaction with other Dolphins fans have come on this board.

And their own names started to carry weight in a manner that a moniker never could. Na...younger fans are too self absorbed to be that creative and glorify someone else.

Tom Brady, Aaron Donald, Antonio Brown, Todd Gurley, Saquon Barkley, Khali Mack, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Ezekial Elliott, just lay there, yep....boring. Doesn't Mahomes have a nickname? The College game with...The Four Horsemen, Mr, Outside and Mr. Inside (both won a Heisman) pretty cool, as was "Preacher" Pilot and "Squirmin' " Sherman Lewis, "Choo Choo'" Winters. Hell, the CFL...."Gizmo" Williams, "Pinball" Clemons. I guess a nickname couldn't improve....Fair Hooker....a Browns WR, or Hiawatha Francisco a ND RB. Who can put a name behind that list of nicknames? MNF with Cowell and ESPN Sunday night both used a lot of nicknames. Sports writers used them a lot.
