Say, aren't you a little young to be building a case for a stupid nickname? It's a horrible choice but even if you were right, he still needs to put it aside. It's developed a life of its own and he views it and talks with and about it as if it were an actual personality. He associates that name with the guy who can do whatever he wants and get away with it. We don't need that guy and neither does Tyrann.

Thanks for letting us know about the age requirement for expressing an opinion around here. :rolleyes:

If this is about the way he plays on the field, which I think is the point of it, I think it is an awesome nickname that ain't goin' away.

It was meant to be light hearted. Google "aren't you a little young" for the reference.

Woah!

Sorry to respectfully and playfully disagree, that nickname was AWESOME. It fit his style of play, his size, and was way too funny to use in conversation.

Yeah, after having "Beanie" on our team for a while, I will have to respect Mr. Matheui's request.

FINE! :kicksdirt: No more honeybadger :(

Gotta support the young man, it is quite obvious why he doesn't want to be called that name anymore.

Different person....one would hope.

Shocked that Shane didn't like this nickname, it's the best ever.

I love that Tyrann is turning the page/starting a new chapter in his life.....but even better that he kept the door open for kids to to use HONEY BADGER because there is no way my kids are referring to him as anything but HB.

/as if on Tyrann's 1st Pick-6 imma not gonna be screaming "HONEY BADGER TAKES WHAT HE WANTS!!!!"

Aren't you a old for this kind of nonsense ?:D

.

Yes, yes I am. And as soon as I find Perry, I'm out of here. Seriously, I'm not happy without my occasional Phineas and Ferb fix. I know it's mostly for kids but I was a kid just 40 or 50 years ago.

I agree, you don't get to choose your nickname and AFAIC, it's the height of arrogance to give yourself one such as The King or Black Mamba. But, if you like and respect the player, there is nothing wrong with respecting his wishes if he chooses to not use a particular nickname.

You're so right, you don't get to pick your nickname:

GEORGE: Well, Jerry, I been thinkin'. I've gotten as far as I can go with George Costanza.

JERRY: Is this the suicide talk or the nickname talk?

GEORGE: The nickname. George. What is that? It's nothing. It's got no snap, no zip. I need a nickname that makes people light up.

JERRY: You mean like...Liza!

GEORGE: But I was thinking...T-bone.

JERRY: But there's no "t" in your name. What about G-bone?

GEORGE: There's no G-bone.

JERRY: There's a ******.

GEORGE: That's a myth.

George takes a bite of his sandwich and gets a piece stuck to his chin.

JERRY: T-bone, the ladies are gonna love ya.

EXT. KRUGER'S OFFICE BUILDING - DAY - ESTABLISHING

KRUGER: Let's order lunch.

INT. MEETING ROOM - DAY

Everyone is gathered around a large conference table.

KRUGER: Mary, I will have a chef's salad.

MALE WORKER: Turkey sandwich.

GEORGE: T-bone steak.

KRUGER: For lunch?

GEORGE: Well, I am just a T-bone kinda guy. Love that T-bone. In fact, you might as well call me--

WATKINS: That sounds good. I'll have one, too.

KRUGER: Watkins, you're havin' a T-bone?

WATKINS: I love 'em.

KRUGER: Well, then we should call you T-bone.

GEORGE: Uh, no. No, we shouldn't.

KRUGER: T-bone!

ALL (chanting): T-bone! T-bone! T-bone! T-bone! T-bone! T-bone! T-bone! T-bone!
Awesome!
