I saw last night on the Top Ten preview show, they were ranking the best nicknames in the NFL.

Shady McCoy was #1 with Megatron right behind him.

Drew came in 4th, and although I've heard of "Cool" Brees before, I thought he's most often called Breesus down here.

But I have never heard of Jimmy "Avatar" Graham. Where the hell did they get that from???

Brees leaked that nickname out while accepting an award (forget which one)...he was thanking all of the offense by their nickname, and he said that although he (Jimmy) hates it, Avatar really fits him.

I believe it comes from the fact that Jimmy is huge and built like one of the blue people from the movie

Megatron is easily my favorite. No love for PT Cruiser?
