Player + nickname = instant fun!

[Scout]

So, one of the coolest features about the amazing reference sites is the nickname feature.

Here's the rules

1. If you get the nickname correct, you can throw out a new nickname. Just give the sport when you throw out the nickname.

2. Only one nickname at a time.

3. If I feel it has sat long enough, I'll choose another nickname.

Dauer (who I went to college with) isn't the whacko I was referring to. This one became noteworthy because he started a game that Fernando didn't. They nicknamed him Whacko because he wasn't.

[Baron Scicluna]

I only thought that because the Missing Link was a pro wrestler in the 1980s.
