Link says it came from Chavis via video.

I thought it was brainstormed here.

Found this via search.

Maybe that was Chavis' post.

TD has given all credit to poster Mike Linebacker for the Honey Badger nickname.

It began with him taking fumbles, strips, and int's! He takes what he wants. The Honey Badger does just that. The blonde top made it most fitting.

Fellas, the second link is the Mike Linebacker link.

I found it curious that ESPN cited the whole Chavis bus video story.

It came from a YouTube video from someone named Randall I believe. He dubbed over a video of a honey badger in action and LSU fans ran with it. Next thing you know drunk verne is calling it live on cbs.
