How Big A ‘C’ Are We Talking Here?

By Matt Sussman | Jun 7, 2008 | Filed Under Football

I’m all for nicknames. They’re cute, fun, and way more memorable than the tons of garden-variety names. Plus it prevents parents from having to name their children something outlandish like ZoQwell.

But this?

I’m going to be completely honest, I wasn’t expecting that at all. Bruce Gradkowski to the Rams? Well, good luck to “Medium-Large” B.” Blade

    I’ve always heard it’s a tough transition from a career in boxing to a career in journalism

    Ah, The Blade, the eternal bastion of journalistic integrity. Hiring guys named “Big C” since 2008.

    Unless you count their hiring a guy named “Hack.”

    Good to see Gradkowski landing on his feet though.

    Nicknames are for hacks.

    (Also, good to hear Bruce got out of the QB holding cell that is Tampa Bay.)
