Glenn Dorsey’s New Nickname Is…Swamp Thing!
We challenged Chiefs fans and you all answered emphatically in less than a season of Jack Bauer. First-time commenter Timmer nailed Glenn Dorsey’s new nickname with his first shot out of the box!
Some ideas:
~Swamp Thing - a connection to his Louisiana roots and his monstrous, superheroish ways along the D-line
Great job, Timmer. We’re absolutely loving Swamp Thing! Big, monstrous DT who hails from Louisiana and conducts his battles in the muck and trenches. Perfect!
I think we’ve got the other rookies taken care of, too–Flowers Child (the psychedelic, 60s-inspired moniker has been a flop), Phat Albert and The Helicopter. By the way, readers saying that we should wait until he proves himself, and that he could be the next Ryan Sims. Puh-lease. Dorsey is a warrior, the anti-Sims. Don’t worry about him at all, because he’s definitely a player.

- Also, and this is crazy, we just got banned from Wachovia’s work servers. Sorry to all you Wachovia folks–that sucks. Maybe I’ll have to go Tyler Durden on that ass?

I still like “Demolition Dorsey”
June 27th, 2008 at 12:32 pmEither you were way to into Ax, Smash and Crush, or Stallone and Snipes. Swamp Thing is just nasty, fitting and unique. I think it is going to stick.

June 27th, 2008 at 2:00 pmFlowers child? ugh…. double ugh…. triple ugh…… did I say ugh???
June 27th, 2008 at 3:59 pmThanks Crane!
Ugh? lol I had to join in
June 27th, 2008 at 4:26 pmFlowers Child? I’m thinking Jimi Hendrix psychedelic, man. I like the name, but maybe it’s just me.
June 27th, 2008 at 4:47 pmAdam:
you are too young for the 60’s. Of course, if you remember the 60’s, you weren’t really there.
June 27th, 2008 at 6:38 pmFlowers Child definetly has to go.. Hendrix or no Hendrix, it just has to go, lol. Swamp thing.. meh.. I heard a few better ones. I also heard alot worse. So.. Meh. Should have waited longer to pick any name, IMO, and we should try to brain storm an idea for Flowers.
June 27th, 2008 at 6:40 pmxxxlp what is your suggestion?
June 27th, 2008 at 7:30 pmWe can brainstorm on Flowers for sure, but a lot of people seem to be loving Swamp Thing. With him hailing from Louisiana and playing in the trenches, yeah, it’s a perfect name. At least if you ask me it is.
June 27th, 2008 at 7:31 pmAnd, Merlin, I wasn’t there, but I’m a classic rock junkie. I was there in spirit. In the late-90s and early part of this decade I actually thought I was there I think. Don’t remember much
June 27th, 2008 at 7:35 pmSwamp Thing it is! Congrats Timmer!!
June 27th, 2008 at 9:15 pmlol Adam.
June 27th, 2008 at 9:15 pmSo Adam… what kind of prize do you have in mind for Timmer? Maybe invite him in the studio next time you get an interview with Dorsey, so the Swamp Thing will know the face of the man who immortalized him?
June 27th, 2008 at 9:17 pmCurt,
The logistics might be kind of hard on that one, with me in Austin and all, but I’ll see what I can do
I will say this, though. If the nickname sticks then we will make sure that Timmer gets credit on Glenn’s Wiki page! That way Timmer can go down in Chiefs’ lore as the man who named Dorsey!
June 27th, 2008 at 10:16 pmImmortality! Whodathunk it was possible anywhere else but here among the addicts? Maybe Gates or AB’s will pony up a plate of babybacks to go along with it.
June 28th, 2008 at 1:18 amI feel so honored! In case anyone wants to know… I love short ends, potato salad, and fries from Gates.
By the way, props to Adam for fleshing out the swamp = trenches connection.
June 28th, 2008 at 8:14 amAnd Zach also deserves some props for a sweet graphic.
June 28th, 2008 at 8:16 amTimmer contact me by email and I can send you something. Unfortunately, its not Chiefs tickets but at least something. Sorry we are broke ass bloggers.

Only a Chiefs fan even KNOWS what short ends are timmer! Down here in Austin you go to the BBQ and ask for short ends you get the 10,000 yard stare. And even if you ’splain it to them… if you ask for two orders of short ends… expect one of them to be long. Some of the Q down here is good, but just like the laundryhat, they’re suckin’ hind t*t next to the most average Q in KC.
June 28th, 2008 at 8:04 pmHow about ‘Flowers Power’ rather than ‘Flowers Child’?
June 30th, 2008 at 2:36 ambit scarier
Sorry - “Flowers Power” for some reason reminds of a picture from the 60s that shows a hippy chick sticking her flower into the business end of a National Guardsman’s rifle. It just aint right.
June 30th, 2008 at 12:53 pmHere’s a potential theme though - how about something along the lines of “Flowers at your funeral / on your grave”? Help me out here guys . . .
June 30th, 2008 at 1:02 pmMitch Holthus announces “F-T-D delivers the hit!“
June 30th, 2008 at 1:12 pmBrandon “FTD” Flowers intercepts and returns it FTD (For a Touch Down)!
June 30th, 2008 at 1:23 pmFlowers Power makes me think of Super Mario Bros., which is cool, but I am a child of the 80s, so…
We’re going to have to work on this one…
June 30th, 2008 at 1:50 pmWhen did we stop being able to just use a player’s name?
I really think manufactured nicknames are about the lamest thing possible. Nicknames really have to be something that just happens. It doesn’t really work any other way. If there’s not a good nickname for someone, they probably just weren’t meant to have a nickname.
