Glenn Dorsey's New Nickname Is…Swamp Thing!

When did we stop being able to just use a player's name?

I really think manufactured nicknames are about the lamest thing possible. Nicknames really have to be something that just happens. It doesn't really work any other way. If there's not a good nickname for someone, they probably just weren't meant to have a nickname.

Flowers Power makes me think of Super Mario Bros., which is cool, but I am a child of the 80s, so...

We're going to have to work on this one...

Brandon "FTD" Flowers intercepts and returns it FTD (For a Touch Down)!

Mitch Holthus announces "F-T-D delivers the hit!"

Here's a potential theme though - how about something along the lines of "Flowers at your funeral / on your grave"? Help me out here guys . . .

Sorry - "Flowers Power" for some reason reminds of a picture from the 60s that shows a hippy chick sticking her flower into the business end of a National Guardsman's rifle. It just aint right.

How about 'Flowers Power' rather than 'Flowers Child'?
bit scarier :-)

...In case anyone wants to know… I love short ends, potato salad, and fries from Gates.

Only a Chiefs fan even KNOWS what short ends are timmer! Down here in Austin you go to the BBQ and ask for short ends you get the 10,000 yard stare. And even if you 'splain it to them... if you ask for two orders of short ends... expect one of them to be long. Some of the Q down here is good, but just like the laundryhat, they're suckin' hind t*t next to the most average Q in KC.

Timmer contact me by email and I can send you something. Unfortunately, its not Chiefs tickets but at least something. Sorry we are broke ass bloggers.

Thanks!

And Zach also deserves some props for a sweet graphic.

I feel so honored! In case anyone wants to know... I love short ends, potato salad, and fries from Gates. :)

By the way, props to Adam for fleshing out the swamp = trenches connection.

Immortality! Whodathunk it was possible anywhere else but here among the addicts? Maybe Gates or AB's will pony up a plate of babybacks to go along with it.

Curt,

The logistics might be kind of hard on that one, with me in Austin and all, but I'll see what I can do :) I will say this, though. If the nickname sticks then we will make sure that Timmer gets credit on Glenn's Wiki page! That way Timmer can go down in Chiefs' lore as the man who named Dorsey!

So Adam... what kind of prize do you have in mind for Timmer? Maybe invite him in the studio next time you get an interview with Dorsey, so the Swamp Thing will know the face of the man who immortalized him?

lol Adam.

Swamp Thing it is! Congrats Timmer!!

And, Merlin, I wasn't there, but I'm a classic rock junkie. I was there in spirit. In the late-90s and early part of this decade I actually thought I was there I think. Don't remember much :)

We can brainstorm on Flowers for sure, but a lot of people seem to be loving Swamp Thing. With him hailing from Louisiana and playing in the trenches, yeah, it's a perfect name. At least if you ask me it is.

xxxlp what is your suggestion?

Flowers Child definetly has to go.. Hendrix or no Hendrix, it just has to go, lol. Swamp thing.. meh.. I heard a few better ones. I also heard alot worse. So.. Meh. Should have waited longer to pick any name, IMO, and we should try to brain storm an idea for Flowers.

Adam:

you are too young for the 60's. Of course, if you remember the 60's, you weren't really there.

Flowers Child? I'm thinking Jimi Hendrix psychedelic, man. I like the name, but maybe it's just me.

Thanks Crane!

Ugh? lol I had to join in

Flowers child? ugh.... double ugh.... triple ugh...... did I say ugh???

Tight pic!

Jamarcus Russell should be worried
i see a 7 sack season!

Either you were way to into Ax, Smash and Crush, or Stallone and Snipes. Swamp Thing is just nasty, fitting and unique. I think it is going to stick.

I still like "Demolition Dorsey"
