Which nickname for your team really gets to you?

[Beengay fudgepackers]

"FudgePackers" bothers me. Not because of the immature nickname itself, but because it is needlessly inaccurate.

The Packers were named after a meat packing company. You could call us the "MeatPackers", still have the same innuendo, and be historically accurate!

Fudge packers are all the same…

Lambs for the Rams I guess?

Nothing really for the Bills, sometimes adjectives are added to Bills (bickering, bungling).

Something that still makes me laugh like a crazy person is the story of the sculptor who made John Elway's bust for Canton. He said when Elway saw it he got really mad because he thought his teeth were too big. I haven't done a side by side comparison but I think the sculptor did a satisfactory job.

It's no Dwyane Wade statue, that's for sure

Commanders, worst and stupidest name in the NFL

That's why you see so many fans actually calling their own team anything BUT that ... like "Washington" and the "Burgundy and Gold"

As for myself, they'll never be anything other than the Redskins, until this name changes to something worthy.

And even then, I'll likely still often refer to them as Skis, lol

I still think Washington should change their name to the Bullets

Before the McDermott era I think they were often known as the Jills.

most hilarious to me was the 'Scabs'

we won a SB with scabs, thank you for the compliment

That's a bit weak, since that was the actual name of their cheerleading squad.

To me, when people try to give a derogatory name it's usually some kind of envy.

I've also seen Redskids, then shortened to the skids...whatever...it's all nonsense and if you take it personally you should probably evaluate yourself.

Only one I’ve heard for my Falcons is “Failcons” and I don’t care about it. No nickname can sting as much as some of the Falcons chokes, especially Super Bowl 51, the worst choke in sports history.

I’m sure “28-3” is not something fun to remember

Apparently they liked the Wizards better, another goofy ass choice made by another DC owner

Yup, why don't the just call them what they really want to call them, PC Appeasers. That's all this is anyway.
