Buftex Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Dolphin fam friend of mine used to call Thurman "Fumblina". I had to agree with him I don't really think of Thurman as a big-time fumbler...not sure where you got that from...aside from Super Bowl 28. He had 50 fumbles in his career...88 td's. In a 13 year career, that comes out to 3.8 fumbles per year. Take into account that 9 of them came in his rookie year, I would say he was pretty good at holding on to the ball for the best years of his career.

Phil Hansen Forever Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Didn't safety Leonard Smith have some nickname? Maybe that was Hitman? Corrent Leonard was indeed the Hitman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConradDobler Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Ervin "Magic Marker" Parker. I had the great pleasure to meet my namesake and just want all of you to know that he is a true gentleman in real life, he'd do anything on the field to protect his quarterback; including inviting bodily harm. After the game he would take his opponent out for a beer. Edited to add: On one "Little House on the Prairie" episode there is a gravestone that reads "Conrad Dobler, gone but not forgiven" that Merlin Olsen had put in!

DC Grid Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 How has no one mentioned Flutie Flakes? #1 "Bubble Head" - Mark Kelso #2 Thurmantor #3 Flutie Flakes #4 Darryl Talley "Spider Man" #5 BRUUUUUCCCEE #6 Birdman #7 Beast Mode #8 Biscuit #9 The Electric Company #10 Leon Seals "Doctor Sack" #11 Captain Checkdown #12 The 12th Man - Elvis Dude & The Baker Brothers #13 Jimbo "Machine Gun" Kelly #14 Scott "Norwide" #15 Steve Christie "Mr. Reliable" per Van Miller Future Nicknames #16 Wonder Fitz #17 Mis-B-Havin Maybin #18 The Streaker - Arthur Moats #20 The Joker - Stevie Johnson #21 Mailman Jr. - Demetrius Bell #22 Whale Tail - Andy Levitre #23 Kyle "The Pile" Williams For Bell, it really should be "The Mailman's Son" it works on multiple levels as Bell was the illigetimate son Krazy Karl refused to acknowledge most of his life.

Rayzer32 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Drew Badthrow Donte Twitner James Hardly Steve 'Tisker' a Tasker Freddy '10 yards'(for holding) Smerlas Lights Out - Hoping to be able to actually hear this name mentioned during a Bills game next year, and not because he is on IR.

I thought Ervin Parker's nickname was "Blue." Has anyone mentioned Ken "Baby" Johnson? How has no one mentioned Flutie Flakes? For Bell, it really should be "The Mailman's Son" it works on multiple levels as Bell was the illigetimate son Krazy Karl refused to acknowledge most of his life. I don't remember anyone calling Flutie "Flakes." It wasn't really his nickname was it? We could call Demetrius Bell, Demetrius "Ring Twice" Bell…as in the movie title, The Postman Always Rings Twice. Bell…ring... Edited February 18, 2011 by San Jose Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConradDobler Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I thought Ervin Parker's nickname was "Blue." Has anyone mentioned Ken "Baby" Johnson? I remember Van Miller calling him Magic Marker. Ken "Baby" Johnson with his "The Bills are Going to the Super Bowl" song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
