Yes, Super Bowl week is finally here. We will be sick of everything by Friday night yelling PLAY THE DAMN GAME, but it is only right to be excited about it for the first couple days. As we have done in years past, we will be numbering our Super Bowl coverage and then posting a big link dump on Saturday so you have it all at your fingertips before the big game. There is not much exciting about Denver. I mean they really do not have many personalities on their team. It is almost like Peyton Manning does these mind tricks over the team he plays for and makes everyone acts like him. Von Miller is one of the only ones, but he is out of the season meaning there is not much. But there is one man that deserves a ton of love and attention especially from this blog... Terrance Knighton, Denver's defensive tackle also known as 'Pot Roast.' I deem this one of the best fat athlete nicknames ever.
Before we get going on 'Greatest Fat Athlete Nicknames', I do want to welcome Knighton to the 'Buffet Club.' What is the 'Buffet Club?' Something I may or may not have talked about on the blog, but an old roommate and I created a list of defensive tackles we would like to eat Chinese Buffet with. The two locks are Vince Wilfork and Haloti Ngata with some different people rotation in and out. If you are not taking Knighton in this club, you're an asshole. Without further ado some of my favorite fat man nicknames with thoughts included.
-William 'The Fridge' Perry - The epitome of fat athlete nicknames. Bow to your king.
-Bryant 'Big Country' Reeves: I am glad we live in a world where this picture exists. I also think every big hick looking Causcian center is now nicknamed 'Big Country'
-Frank 'Bag of Donuts' Winters: I do think people forget about how great this one is and it might be the best. NEVER FORGET... John Madden loved this one.
-Angel 'El Pato' Cabrera: Are ducks fat? Is it because Cabrera walks a duck? Do I want to get extremely drunk and smokes two packs of cigarettes with El Pato? Yes, yes i do.
-Gilbert 'Gravedigger' Brown: Any time you get a Burger King burger named after you, you deserve to be on this list.
-Robert 'Tractor' Traylor: Always a good one as it worked with his last name. Any time you can do that, it is gold.
-Oliver 'The Real Meal' Miller - I FOUND THIS NICKNAME LAST NIGHT AND IT IS THE BEST THING EVER. Fits him perfectly.
-Charles 'Round Mound of Rebound' Barkley: This is a given.
-Pablo 'Kung Fu Panda' Sandoval: Any time your nickname sparks an entire fan base wearing panda hats while they watch baseball, it is a good one.
-Draymond 'Dancing Bear' Green: He really is not fat, but this is a hell of a nickname. One that I have used on myself becuase I am a tool.
-Butterbean - You are a boxer but also nicknamed after a turkey. At least he has America shorts.
-Larry 'Grandmama' Johnson - Is Larry Johnson fat? He got fat at the end of his career. Why do all NBA teams have fat man nicknames.
-B.J. 'The Freezer' Raji - One that Wisconsin fans would kill me If I leave it off this list, but still not worth eight million a year.
There are many other ones, feel free to leave them in the comments.
Charlie.
