Whether you like it or not after you see a 5 foot nothing 125lb kid, who plays like he's 6'5 240lbs, make a play that you never thought was possible...you're going to hear that little queers voice in your head say The Honey Badger don't give a shite! I mean look at him, he's a badass.....

The Honey Badger and Little Ball of Hate names are so gay. Just because he looks like a honey badger and may be "small" doesn't mean it makes a good nickname. They're awfully cheesy and seem very docile.

T-REX describes his play. He's a fricking beast.

Why are people saying he chose his nickname? It was given to him by this board and now he has basically said that's the one he wants to be called. I don't think that's a problem what so ever.

You started out completely off the plot, so I'm taking this as just more vamping, vapid assumption in an effort to try to win some "wicked burn" contest. Have at it, hippy.

You probably also shitty light beer and laugh hysterically at Miller Lite commercials.


I've laughed at my fair share of commercials, and Miller Lite ones probably get a nod, as well. As far as sh!tty light beer, dude, I had to work when I was in high school for spending money. Natural Light was, like, $3.69 for a 6-Pack. You're damn right I've drank shitty light beer. I can't speak for your upbringing but thusfar, it seems you're lacking in several areas, running the gamut from reading comprehension, critical thinking, all the way down to basic math & logical reasoning skills.

You may want to push away from the Keyboard awhile, Champ. Take the next few posts off.

Nick-names are only cool if someone really cool gives it too you...Or you grow up with it given to you by a family member...not a message board nub with cheetos fingers, calling a player little ball of hate, honey badger, insert name that sounds totally stupid.

there are. This one is very much so; but complaints about the "name being gay" are ridiculous and show a lack of knowledge.

Even better question...why do a bunch of anonymous nobodies on the web feel they have the right to nickname people they don't even know?

His name is close to greatness:

When you get a chance. You want to stop and look at a college football player who is getting close to greatness.
Take a look at Tyrann Mathieu in this video. You will see that after all the nice moves that he normally made on a football field against his opponent because even though he is only 5-9 190lb he has a lot of speed and agility. He was but a hair's breath away from a interception on that flat pass in this video and close to running down the football field to greatness.

Greatness is something you learn, after failing so many times and tries before. Until one day you make it. Then you know what it feels like to reach greatness, it is thrilling, something you keep wanting to do. Because you were born that way. Greatness when we see it, is something everyone understands. He is indeed a lot of fun to watch. Take a look.

I think The Hat/Mad Hatter was created here. Not positive, but I think Reese Davis saw it here, said it on air, then it spread like wildfire.

TRex is a name that you would use to name your fantasy football team in an office league that your boss was in.

I think there are two ways of looking at this. The analogy and the nickname.

The analogy is absolutely fantastic and it is probably genius.

The nickname is horrible and needs to die.

Just my two cents.

Are you inferring that I haven't expanded my mind regarding animals? I admit that I've never been on a Psyolicibin-laced vision-quest through South America, but as far as learning about animals, you're off the mark, too.

I rocked one of these when I was younger. Hard. Practically makes me a zoologist, Punk.

No homophobic reaction as I don't find anything about the word "honey" to be gay. Then there's the fact that there is NO genius in either the nickname or the youtube video it came from. Both are fricking stupid. I can see how one could find some humor from in the video momentarily, but it's stupid.

Guarantee you if the animal was called something like a "bee badger" and the commentary wasn't in a gay voice but everything else was the same, they'd all like it.




Because you changed the word "honey" to "bee"? No, it would still be fricking stupid.
