That's usually when you know the person OR animal personally and since we don't know him personally this is probably the way we'll do it. I mean, I doubt fans came up with honey badger. It was probably a teammate, friend or family member. IMO.

He got the nickname from a youtube that video that was insanely popular over 2 years ago. It got 59 million views. Even I knew about it and I'm old and out of touch. His teammates watched it and said that was him. The rest as they is history.

Anybody have an account there and want to go give TD and Mike Linebacker their proper due?

I dont understand that thread. If its the original thread, then why is Speedy posting " So this is where it all started" on the first page?

Speedy's post is like 6 weeks after the original. Obviously after the nickname caught on like wildfire.

After that it was used in every thread about the tigers for a month.

But only 10 people posted in that thread for about an hour. It would have been on the 1st page for about 30 minutes.

Honey Badger works in mysterious ways. But im telling you that was the first time anybody mentioned it.

I'm not saying he didn't say it first. I guess that means he started it.. yes.

But someone made it huge and chances are they didn't do it after seeing that thread.
