Official TST nicknames: Oshiomogho Atogwe

Oshiomogho Atogwe -- part human, part deer.

 

It's time for another installment of everyone's favorite/most hated/least cared about series, official TST nicknames.  We covered Steven Jackson first, and James Laurinaitis next.  Again, just because the title says "official" doesn't mean I or anyone else must refer to a the winner of the poll; it's just to distinguish our nicknames from anywhere else, so that when you're at a bar and someone calls James Laurinaitis "Crabgrass", you know you're among a fellow TSTer. 

So now, we move back to a non-rookie, which should avoid some of the ire this series inspired last time, by looking for a nickname for Oshiomogho Atogwe.  Yes, he's more commonly known as O.J., but that's not a nickname.  I mean, has there ever been a football player named OJ that anyone has ever heard of?  Who?  Oh, I always called him Orenthal.  Anyway, let's get one for Atogwe.  I came up with a couple more than usual, but if you think of a good one, drop it in the comments.

And yes, I will be keeping his official photo in mind.  For those of you who don't remember, OJ Atogwe had the best official photo last year.  I think he's not used to opening his eyes...

Nickname

You should have had one like. “The Juice”

I thought about it

But I’m not sure we want to tie one of our budding stars to the most disgraced former football player of all time currently in the pen on a 9-year bid

is OJ (that one) only in for 9 years?

I thought he was going to get more than that

A minimum of 9 years.

Thanks wiki.

I have a very, umm...photographic brain. A lot like Ansel Adams but in color and with a lot more, uh.....insertion and pubic hair.

And keep in mind

I said a “9-year bid.” Does anyone else expect him to be out in like 3?

JUICE!

Because 30 years after a nicknamed player retires, it’s totally fair game.

In other news, I’m going to rename my son “Steel Curtain.”

O.J. is good enough for me....

So we're agreed?

Best official NFL photo ever? If I ever get a chance to interview him for TST, I promise to everyone, my first question will be “inset nickname, what was up with the photo? Did you know they had a camera and that the photo was going to be of you? Are your eyes made of acrylic?”
