Nicknames submitted in youth sports copy

LOL

 

Why all the hate for your boy T. Jones?

 

T., be a man and get a full name.

 

Forget the youth sports. Years ago, I had a varsity high school coach ask me to call his team the "Big Red Machine" in my story. I couldn't bring myself to do it. I think I'll do it this season as I have officially given up.

 

Except gor Sarah Palin's kids, who got free travel off the state's dollar because they were on "official business."

 

only if you could refer to the coach as the big douchebag with a whistle

 

I just knew someone would shoot back with a 10-year-old public figure.

 

Have a three-sport girl in our coverage area whose nickname is Cookie. It never sees the light of day in our paper, unless it's a quote.

On a related note, the weekly paper that covered my high school used my nickname in mentioning me once in a game story. It just felt weird.

 

covered a kid who was known widely as booger and we used it. saw it plenty of other places as well.

 

I had a kid whose first name was David and he was a Junior but has gone his whole life as Scooter to avoid confusion.

 

We used to publish scores for a local YMCA basketball league. Nothing like putting how Sweet Sauce and Spiderman did on the agate page.

 

i thought they would have referred to you as mr. bear. but i guess you can take nothing for granted these days.
