While looking for a list of nick names for NFL players, I came across the wilipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_nicknames).
Guess what they were missing: Spiderman
Guess what I did:
via s9.postimage.org
And Guess what I gave as the reference for it:
via s9.postimage.org
If you cant see the images, meet me after the jump for an appropriate textual (:P) post !
| Spiderman[108] | Joe Webb |
Drafted as a wide receiver by the Minnesota Vikings, on Brett Favre's insistence Joe Webb was signed to the team as a back-up QB. Went on to lead Vikings to a win in Philadelphia, against Michael Vick and the Eagles playing a must-win game. Lovingly called Spiderman, due to his last name. |
Reference 108 is: www.dailynorseman.com
So if somebody from Wikipedia comes asking, please let them know that DN came up with it. I forgot if it was CG or TG..wow..I am on fire! Well, feel free to edit the post on Wikipedia if you have a better source.
EDIT: CanadianViking informs me that it was him who gave the Spiderman his name. Thanks CV!
you can also go to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_nicknames#cite_ref-107) and rate the page for its trustworthiness. Let me know some other nicknames that are missing from the lists.
SKOL!
