I thought this was related since most of you like to call Wake the Kracken....but it looks like someone already took that name.
*mods, i wasnt sure where to put this, so move it if you want to.

There is but one Kraken, and he began in the frigid waters of the Great White North, not by missing games in college due to incorrect sized shoes.

Basically a productive Jared Odrick. -

Blasphemy!

Eh, I've been meaning to start calling Wake the Wake-ness monster anyhow.

Nicknames are generally contrived and way overused anyway IMO.
Only a fraction are decent and actually work. Like Smokin' Joe Frazier or Thomas 'The Hitman' Hearns (and even he started as 'The Motor City Cobra').
MMA is my favorite. For every Jon 'Bones' Jones, there's a dozen Nick 'The Promise' Rings.Disgustipate and MrClean like this. -

And exploding on the scene at the same time Clash of the Titans was remade and released+his style of sort of using a long arm to pull down a Qb like a encyhlaepod would catch a fish. -

Most of the new nicknames seem too contrived, and it's like they're being handed out like Halloween candy and are annoyingly exaggerated to boot. -
Maybe Cam's nickname should be something subtle and throwback..... like Holdin' Cam Wake.
If we could get that to go national perhaps its mocking nature could draw more flags thrown on his behalf like he deserves.maynard likes this.
