A.A.D.Q.: Glenn Dorsey Needs Him A Nickname!
Well, since probably only about a quarter of us have seen Glengarry Glen Ross–by the way, rent it, Netflix it or buy it if you haven’t seen it…just an absolute classic–my Glenn Dorsey Glenn Hoss nickname isn’t going to cut it. It’s also a little long. The Hulk is another one I’ve heard, but I already dubbed Larry Johnson Iron Man. Pretty soon we are going to run out of super heroes. So…
The A.A. Daily Question is what should Glenn Dorsey’s nickname be? Better bring it, Chiefs fans, because this is your chance to be responsible for our future superstar’s nickname!
I hate to say it but you can’t nickname L.J. “Iron Man” He has a nickname already and it is both better fitting and sounds better… Centaur. As for Dorsey… Maybe we should see if he is a Ryan Simms before we dub him a nickname. I suppose if I had to come up with one now, I think it would have to be “The Beast” or maybe since he’s from Louisianna it should be “The Ragin Cajun”
June 26th, 2008 at 1:33 pmCentaur is the worst nickname ever. We are going to kill that sh** once and for all. Iron Man is the name. Not bad on Dorsey, though.
June 26th, 2008 at 2:00 pmRight now, I haven’t heard a nickname that I really like for Dorsey. Ragin’ Cajun is so overdone.
June 26th, 2008 at 2:39 pmI think Glen “Pepto” Dorsey sounds good. I think it fits his playing style because he’ll be stopping the runs!
June 26th, 2008 at 2:56 pm“The Best thing since sliced bread”
“Twinkle Toes”
sorry not that original or good
yea
you wait to see how he turns out
we don’t want Ryan Sims 2.0
how about we sign him then we give him a nickname
June 26th, 2008 at 3:31 pmGlenn “Closed” Dorsey or Glenn “Slamed The” Dorsey
June 26th, 2008 at 3:36 pmHow about Glenn “Slammed” the Dorsey? I’ve got a idea a few RB’s & QB’s are gonna know the feelin`…

Iron Man is the name.
Once again Adam hits the mark, Centaur SUX and how else do you describe a guy who carries the ball 400+ times a season? Tri-athletes look WIMPY next to that!
June 26th, 2008 at 4:03 pmMitch needs to leave the nicknames to the Addicts! And Glenn Dorsey is going to sign. Relax everybody. I also personally guaran-damn-tee he is not Ryan Sims 2.0.
June 26th, 2008 at 4:05 pmHow bout G. Damn, as in “That G. Damn tackle just blew up another damn play!!” or “Friggin G.Damn is the second coming of Sims…”
Maybe I just need another beer…
June 26th, 2008 at 5:16 pmGlenn “Jumbalayah” Dorsey, or just Jumbalayah. Jumbalayah is a yummy food that I think I read Mr. Dorsey here loves. Its got a little bit of everything in it, its hot, spicy, and just plain good. Sounds pretty fitting if you ask me!
Hmmm, thinking of a couple others, but I don’t like them as well as Jumbalayah. I can see myself screaming it at the tv when he tears down a QB already.
Maybe Jumbo for short?
Woo hoo first post for a long term reader, hello everyone!
June 26th, 2008 at 5:19 pmWelcome BUTTER! Time to stop lurkin brother!

June 26th, 2008 at 5:36 pmThis is mostly sarcastic, but I’m going to have to go with RSD. Ryan Sims’ Daddy. *disclaimer* No offense actually meant to Ryan Sims’ real father, I’m sure you’re a great man, sir.
June 26th, 2008 at 5:48 pmButter, welcome to the comments
Glad to have you and don’t be shy. Your a CHIEF FAN!
June 26th, 2008 at 6:18 pmI’ve been checking the site out for awhile, but, like Butter, this is my first post.
Some ideas:
~Swamp Thing – a connection to his Louisiana roots and his monstrous, superheroish ways along the D-line
~Sneaker – according to the Star article he loves shoes… it would also be a reference to sneaking up on/surprising running backs/quarterbacks; it’s a bit tongue in cheek as well
Names related to cajun:
~Gumbo
~Hot Sauce
~Tabasco
I think Swamp Thing is my favorite.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:02 pmMack Truck…plain and simple.
June 26th, 2008 at 9:15 pmSorry guys, but I think Timmer hit the nail on the head!!! With his Louisiana roots, we have to go with Swamp Thing!!! I love it a nasty looking hero who jacks some stuff up. Couldn’t be better!
And for the record, MACK TRUCK would fit LJ better than it would Dorsey, but I love the Iron Man name for LJ. Hopefully he can run over the competition again this year like he did in 2005 and 2006!!!
June 26th, 2008 at 10:52 pmLoving all the new people commenting, KEEP IT UP!
June 27th, 2008 at 12:20 amI definitly agree that it should have something to do with the louisanna roots. Swamp thing has to be the best yet. Oh… And Centaur is excellent. Half man half horse. That’s LJ! A man beast
June 27th, 2008 at 12:24 amAgain, I hate the Centaur nickname, but maybe that’s just me. Could it be more dated, Mitch? Iron Man. Now, everybody say it–IRON MAN!
Timmer, I’m feeling Swamp Thing, too. Iron Man and Swamp Thing. That’s a pretty good start for so AFC West crimefighting. I think that is the leader in the clubhouse as of now. Easy.
June 27th, 2008 at 3:23 amI actually agree with Adam on this one. Centaur is awful.
As for Dorsey, it is probably best to wait and see if he is the next coming of Ryan Sims before we dub him a nickname. But, just for the heck of it, I will go with Jumbalayah and Swamp Thing. I say we wait until at least 6 games into the regular season before we make a final decsion. You know…just in case Dorsey busts like a big Red and Gold balloon.
June 27th, 2008 at 6:29 amI will throw my own out there for Dorsey…

Zach,
I am not new. Just got a different name due to the login thing. Which I like by the way. Keeps the rift-raft faider fans out, I hope. I used to be Michael in San Diego.
Hey, does anyone know if the team will show interest in LeCharles Bentley? He was recently released from Cleveland and might help out the right side for us. What do you think?
June 27th, 2008 at 8:46 amSorry, I didn’t know that. Well glad to still have you.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:04 amYah I am thinking Swamp Thing is the best so far. DT’s play in the trenches which are like swamps. Keep them coming.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:06 amGLENN “FORREST” DORSEY HE WAS A BOW LEGGED CHILD WITH BRACES LIKE FORREST GUMP
June 27th, 2008 at 9:34 amI’ll address this “he doesn’t deserve a nickname” sentiment in the post announcing the new moniker.
Great to have so many new commenters as well! Keep ‘em comin’!!
June 27th, 2008 at 9:44 amI like Swamp Thing. It’s the best one so far.
June 27th, 2008 at 10:03 amEven though it seems like Swamp Thing is the new nickname (which I love), Halfbreed wanted me to suggest “The Disrupter” because he was having log in issues.
June 27th, 2008 at 12:02 pm[...] We challenged Chiefs fans and you all answered emphatically in less than a season of Jack Bauer. First-time commenter Timmer nailed Glenn Dorsey’s new nickname with his first shot out of the box! Some ideas: ~Swamp Thing – [...]
June 27th, 2008 at 2:48 pmHalfbreed contact me at fansided@gmail.com and I will help you out with getting logged in.
Thanks Chris
June 28th, 2008 at 11:46 amI’ll call him Glenn Dorsey until he proves himself in the NFL (not that I doubt him!)
But just for the record I liked Swamp Thing and Pepto.
Although not every player needs a nickname. Jared Allen didn’t have one nor does Tamba Hali. So unless something just really sticks I’ll probably just keep calling him Glenn Dorsey.
