DEfense Nickname?

Put me on the band wagon that we do not name them until we see something. They MUST show an identity to be named one. All I have seen so far is swiss cheese like someone else saw.
 
Some of these names sound so corny. The nickname will be made at the right time. Maybe in Mario's third year when he sacks Peyon 4 times in one game and the announcer says something that sounds catchy and it sticks. Kind of like how Bill Worell did with stevie franchise, Cuttino the cat, except with our whole defense.
 
How about if they bust, we call them the Dead Squad and if they live up to expectations, the Death Squad... or would that be considered overkill?:tease:

I was being corny on purpose....good nicknames will come on their own, at least the ones that stick, but this thread is funny and what else is their to talk about in the middle of July.
 
Super Mario's World.

Can you see dozens of banners on the wall that depict various Texans defenders jumping or throwing fire onto turtles and mushrooms that have other teams' logos on them?

No offense, I can see it in my mind, and I never ever want to see it in reality.

Why not?

I could see us playing the little sounbites over the loudspeaker when he sacks someone: The "donk-donk-donk" of the fireballs being thrown...The little squishy noise when you hop on a turtle or mushroom.

The idea has merit.

Kids would looooooooooooove it, and the way to a daddy's wallet is right through his kids. I can see kids (and geeks) dressing up as Mario or other characters from the game.

Nintendo and Mario could swing a huge endorsement deal. Think of all the items the Texans and Nintendo could sell.

Commercials featuring both Marios (The one from the game, and our Mario of course) would be the same sort of gimmickry that Larry Johnson of the Charlotte Hornets had going with his Grandmama act.

Of course it "looks" silly, but that's the point. A ferocious NFL defender zapping QBs like turtles and mushrooms.

That idea has way more pizzazz than the 1,000 "cow" or "bull" or other Texas-related gimmickry ideas that are floating around. That stuff is definitely cheesey to anyone outside of Texas. Nintendo and Mario is the most savvy way to go if we want to promote Mario, our team, and to build widespread audience.

I'll take that as sarcasm, correct?

As in "football IS a kids game"

We're a team who doesn't really have any identity yet. Green Bay has got the cheeseheads and the Lambeau Leap. Denver has got the Barrel Man. Jets have that crazy fireman guy on his brother's shoulders.

We can have Super Mario with all the gimmickry asociated with it.

I for one would loooooove to see us have a big banner with Bud Adams' face airbrushed onto the Bowser character. H-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s. It would look like some sort of bloated Yoda in a pale blue leisure suit.
 
Ooh, i've got a few good ones:

the bulletproof busters.

the cat man pants

the doggers.

the houseshoe slappers.

the mechanics.

the jeanpants computerbrains.

the ICY HOT STUNTAZ.

the Border Patrol.

La Migra (i'm actually serious about this one)

The iced creams.

can't agree with squishy noises during the game, but Nintendo really misses a golden opportunity if they don't try to set something up
