Floyd needs a nickname

[Jetstream Green]

I know with the last name Floyd it would be cliché but I dub thee Pretty Boy Floyd after the notorious bank robber. I give you PB

 

[D-Dogg]

Why?

 

[Mulli]

Why?

This.

 

[NJCardFan]

Would "Pretty Boy" be considered racist?

 

[Mulli]

Jetstream Floyd. I like it.

 

[PDXChris]

Frank the Tank

 

[Metcalf Rules]

How about Pink. Or Floyd the Barber.

I now see why we drafted Floyd where we did. What a performance. Fitz is still Fitz and Roberts came out of nowhere this year to become a very good receiver.

The word "boy" might?

I disagree with the premise of the post.

It needs to be derogatory. Like the Dude and Palmover. As soon as we start calling a guy by a negative name he starts lighting it up.

Floyd's sudden resurgence is a direct result of me bashing him in the game thread vs the Texans after he dropped his second pass.

The improved secondary play? It only took about a minute for them to get a pick after I called them weak.

I have no input on Floyd, just wanted to say "The Dude" is once of my all time favorites.

Nobody calls me Housler, I'm "The Dude".

So calling a white 1930's gangster "Pretty Boy" Floyd is fine but calling a black NFL WR "Pretty Boy" Floyd is considered racist?

So Housler is stealing from Lenny Dykstra?

Yes. Its a southern culture thing. You do not call an adult black man "boy."

Floyd Mayweather was 'Pretty Boy' before using 'Money' as a nickname.

In today's politically correct world anything is possible. I am part Cherokee and the word Redskins in no way bothers me but apparently there are many who it does bother. I grew up in Cherokee County, N.C. just a few miles from the reservation. Indians in that area and age were considered as low as you could get. They were not allowed by law to purchase alcohol. When I was young the word Black was offensive and the words African American did not exist. On official government forms the word Negroid was used to designate today's African Americans or a group of people from Africa. Not sure how African Americans accept this term or if it is still on forms? In any event my post was not serious but in jest.

You are 100% correct.

Im hoping you know its Sigmund Freud not Floyd and this was just a roundabout joke

I dont think he needs a nick name.

But if I was going to give him one my vote goes for Irish Car Bomb

He played for the Irish
He hits like a Car
He explodes after the ball like a Bomb

And he also got a DUI in college!
