	What are your opinions on the amount of time I gave?

	In what universe is Adrian known as Purple Jesus? Around these parts he's known as "All Day."

	Greene is spelled with an "e" on the end. And is Ochocinco still considered a nickname when he's legally changed his name to that?

Comment below threshold: show it

	A decent quiz. But really, a shortage of football nicknames? Ironhead, Roger the Dodger, Kansas Comet, Night Train, Mad Stork, Bar None, White Shoes, Galloping Ghost, Crazy Legs, Jake the Snake, Ickey, Juice, Sam the Bam, Minister of Defense ...

	Should add Doctor J to basketball and Iron Man to baseball.

	If there's a shortage of nicknames (which there isn't), just leave them out rather than use lousy ones.

	Who calls Polamalu the Flyin' Hawaiian? He's not even Hawaiian, he is Samoan and grew up in California. That doesn't make sense

	Ok so which player should I use instead. I was thinking Elroy Crazy Legs Hirsch. Also, I response to wolfpack, I want to leave each category even at 10 players

	Never heard of Adrian Peterson being called Purple Jesus

	Ummmm...You left off the best nick-name of all time: Daryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins. Who just happened to be from the planet Lovetron.

	Sixtytwobobs:	May 31st, 2012 at 14:07 GMT		2 points
	I considered putting Chocolate Thunder, and I might make an NBA only quiz

	It's William Perry, not "Williams" Perry. And there are plenty of good football nicknames - Prime Time (Deion Sanders), Night Train (Dick Lane), Lights Out (Shawne Merriman), Megatron (Calvin Johnson), The Golden Boy (Tom Brady), Ironhead (Craig Heyward), The Nigerian Nightmare (Christian Okoye), The Galloping Ghost (Red Grange), The Rocket (Raghib Ismail), The Burner (Michael Turner), L.T. (Lawrence Taylor or Ladainian Tomlinson), Run DMC (Darren McFadden), Bad Moon (Andre Rison), Slingin' (Sammy Baugh)

	A shortage of football nicknames? Along with all the others mentioned, you could even make a list out of just Cowboys: Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Bob "Mr. Cowboy" Lilly, "Bullet" Bob Hayes, "Dandy" Don Meredith, Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson, Daryl "Moose" Johnston, Michael "The Playmaker" Irvin, "Prime Time" "Neon" Deion Sanders, Raghib "Rocket" Ismail, Marion "The Barbarian" Barber III, "Captain Comeback" Roger Staubach, "The Kitchen" Nate Newton

	@CactusZ - My friend, a Minnesota transplant here in California, calls him Purple Jesus all the time. But I guess he's got a lot of nicks.

	Cubfan24:	Jun 20th, 2012 at 16:55 GMT		1 point
	No Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd or Bob "Death to Flying Things" Ferguson? Also for football: Lou "The Toe" Groza, Ken "The Snake" Stabler, Randy "The Manster" White, and of course, Chad "Wait, I'm not suppposed to throw to the guys on the other team?" Henne.

	Only one Twin Cities sports figure gets to use a Jesus nickname, and that's Joe "Baby Jesus" Mauer.

	Holland_Oates:	May 14th, 2013 at 04:43 GMT		1 point
	Aw, how could you forget the two greatest nicknames in sports: Lester "The Molester" Hayes, and Jose "The Big Potato" Valverde?
