Best Saints Player Nickname of All-Time
ok, I voted forrealz.
I see that Irrrrrnnnnnhead is running away in the poll.
But the best, truly best nickname on the OP list is...
Beer Man
It's the only nickname that comes from outside of football, and then football made it an amazing nickname.
The other names are puns on their real names, or related to description of them as a player.
All the nicknames were so fun when the guys were playing, but every single second you saw Michael Lewis, even standing on the sideline, the thought power-popped into your head .... Beer Man.
And then on another level of the mind, beer is good. 'Beer Man' resonates there. I like ice cold lagers in the summer. Though I'm more a liquor guy year round, and watching games. The thought or sight of a big beer truck and it's holy driver, that's a good moment.
Lewis was a Budweiser truck driver. He drove routes near the Dome. He went to Grace King High School. His wikipedia with his life story is a fun read. I think he's the Official Ambassador of the New Orleans Saints.
