'The Dream Team' aged pretty poorly. Those guys didn't even make the playoffs.

I always thought that when a nickname is self-given, rather than externally. It never ends well.

The Broncos had three defensive players, cornerbacks or backs who called themselves The Three Amigos. They went to the Superbowl and got all their butts slapped by Washington.

The Superbowl, where if Washington had kept up the scoring rate for the remaining three quarters, they would have won 140 - 0.

Am I the only one here who didn't love LOB? It never made much sense to me. I never disliked it enough to complain, but it just never did much for me.
If you read the thread you would have realized you're not alone. I was never a huge fan of it. 🤷‍♂️

Same. It sounded pretty cringe at first, eventually got used to it. As much as I hate the Steelers, they had the best one

The 2013 Denver Donkey's nickname of 'Star Wars Offense' didn't fare too well after the 43-8 drubbing we put on them in SB 48. LOL

Not really a team nickname, but a couple things that are just plain dumb.

"RAMS HOUSE".............when the stadium is almost half full of opposing fans, on the regular.

"RED SEA".....for a defense that parts like.........the Red Sea

I remember an interview with Shawn Springs in the 90s regarding this.....typical Shawn BS.

In the same time period the Image Comics character "Spawn" was really getting popular. Shawn was a fan and in an interview he said that he'd like to be called "Shawn the Spawn". What a horrible self nickname. Maybe he was joking but the guy was a space cadet and said dumb stuff.
