I've never heard

this LBJ? I’ve heard people call Adrian Purple Jesus… I don’t remember us stealing anything like that?

Light Blue Jesus… don’t the Hindu’s have that one covered?

I am very happy with CJ as Vishnu!

I've never heard it either.

And yeah, it is too close to Purple Jesus for my comfort.

At least we are getting some love throughout the country now

I really liked Crazy Legs

but once you asked him if he liked it and he disapproved I felt it needed to be dropped.

Yeah, not a good nickname

if the player doesn’t embrace it.

not befitting his abilities.

I think he is good enough

to have 2 nicknames… CJ is an automatic. And I really like ECD… Also I never really heard CJ 4.24 either, but I like that as well. That still kinda falls into the CJ category.

Deion Sanders had like 40 nicknames. CJ is just about as fast and animated/entertaining as Primetime/Neon Deion, so I don’t see any problem with having like 2 or 3.

Crazy legs has to be dismissed for the previously mentioned reasons. LBJ is horrible.

Dash has to be dismissed as he has moved on from being a dual kind of threat with Lendale… He’s Main event/attraction! The main character in this situation now. Keep winning! GO TITANS! And we will have ECD for MVP

My friend and I

Have our own crazy nicknames for everyone on the team. For instance, Keith Bulluck is “Whitesleeves” and Dave Stewart’s full Christian name is “Big Country Dave Stewart Mississippi State.”

Along those lines, CJ is “Chris Jitters One-Shoe Johnson, The Thoroughbred” (but you have to say the word “comma” when you recite his name).

Like I said, crazy (and probably only amusing to us).
