Well. Woodsman. What else can I say?

You can say what your reply above said. I see no harm in it, no matter how it seems some folks want to find harm in my moniker for our QB. Heil man, I used to refer to Josh Dobbs as Dobgoblin. Some folks INSISTED I was mocking his medical condition, causing his lack of eyebrows. Had they asked, I'd have explained my being a Marvel Comics fanboy. And how I was playing on the somewhat similar phonetics of a villain character's name.
The Hobgoblin, in case you don't know. And Dobbs was a villain to opponents who mistakenly thought he didn't have the arm for long strikes And those who thought they had him trapped behind the LOS. Only to see his long lopping strides zip by them to score or eat up chunks of yardage. But you know how it is, humans gonna human. So for me, it's Javelin Joe. Because, because, because, he reminds of the cannon-armed Marvel Comics anti-hero called Random. In short, I picked the nickname because I'm me, and am perfectly happy amusing myself, no matter what other people think.

Dobbsgobblin I like and thanks for the background on that. As for our next superhero at the QB position, use whatever moniker you like. You have my permission. At least we can agree that Joe Milton is a class act and a rare talent. I can’t wait for football season!

The best names are not always sharing starting letters or rhymes. Let the name come naturally instead of forcing it. These are some of what this very place has identified as favorites. The best avoid elementary level word association.

Sherrif
The Iceman
Minister of Defence
Big
Little Man
Nitro
The Future
Bad News
Wild Bull
The Swamp Rat

If Nico wins the job it means the season isn’t going well? Don’t know if I agree with that line of thinking. What if Nico is just that good? I am confident in Milton’s abilities. But what if Nico is just that good that Heupel is forced to play him? That wouldn’t mean the season isn’t going well. That would be Heupel playing the best player.

I think it mean the season is going very well. In fact, I think the season is going about as well as it can from an offensive point of view. We already know that Milton can play very well; just look at the orange bowl. If Nick plays well enough to start, we are in great shape.

This is Volnation, bub. We talk crazy, we act crazy, we are crazy. We don't expect our folly with nicknaming players to stick. As a matter-of-fact, I'd wager the list above, none were born on VN, but came from teammates, the media, a coach, or some other source. Meanwhile, we're now and forever Volnation. Let the craziness continue.

Nobody can make you stop, other than mods, death, massive internet outages, personal matters, or a million other things. Keep on doing you until you can't👍

Is my (or our) little forays into playing with player names, and basically having fun doing that, worth getting hot and bothered about? We do such stuff all the time. Do you know, we even do it with coaches, such as calling Saban, Satan? Urban Liar Meyer? Sargent Carter (Butch Jones)? Other Vols nicknames that have popped up on VN, which some I admit I gave birth to - Whirlybird (Justin Worley), Rifleman (Riley Ferguson), and Peter Pumpkin (Nathan Peterman) etc. It's all good fun. Now if we gave derisive insulting names, even off my rocker me would object. Which is why I disagree strongly to JoMil being called Overthrow Joe. Not that it stops anyone from calling him that. Let's just say, insulting names for our players is just a step too far beyond for me personally. Is that so wrong?

I think Fulmer nicknamed Bill Duff "Smoke." One of the best nicknames ever.

What? I was being nice, but my having an opinion seems to bunch up your panties very much. Don't be so sensitive guy and have a good day.

I was being nice, too. If you had read my post for what it was, instead of being dead set on finding it offensive, you'd know that. But that's Ok, some folks don't want to know such things. Nothing I can do about that. Maybe try reading it again? Hopefully, that makes a difference. If not, GBY just the same. I assume you're a Vols fan after all.

OH, I get it! You want to deny me my freedom of speech right. That's unConstitutional, you know.

You say some odd things but this one may beat them all.

If i had said you should be arrested, tried and convicted for referring to Joe Milton III as Javelin Joe and that i was going to begin working with my local legislators to insure that would happen...then your response wouldn't be so non-sensical. However, after careful review of my post, nothing was found remotely indicating that thought or intent. What was found is that calling him Javenlin Joe will result in blank stares followed up by weird looks. Neither punishment will be enforced by local, state, nor federal laws and/or authorites.

So feel free to speak your mind and enjoy the rewards of people politely looking away and scratching their head.

I'm glad I was able to help you feel better. I'd offer you a bite of my old time giant Tootsie Roll, but I ate it all before reading your post.

Thanks, man, what they think doesn't bother me. I sort of see myself as adding spice to an otherwise too mild Laal Maans mutton curry.

It don’t curry no favor with my daughter that I’m no glutton for mutton. She likes a little lamb on her plate. I do like her Asian cooking, though it can be a bit spicy.

Ha-ha. I see what you did there.
Shame, but to each his own. Maybe if mutton (and goat) is cooked with the right recipe, you'd develop a taste for it. Can't fault you, I got relatives who just don't cotton to what they think isn't standard fare.
