Frankenbacker: A Branding Strategy

[pbmax]

We need to get this nickname into the mainstream. It should be the forum's goal to get this into the media, with an ultimate goal of hearing it on a National TV broadcast.

My suggestion, for those who have tickets, is to make signs celebrating Frankenbacker in all his glory; perhaps skipping over the DUI on a motorcycle.

Please post your ideas and accomplishments in this thread. Since I am pretty sure someone invented this in this forum last pre-season, I think its beyond question who coined the phrase. So feel free to plant this in as many football forums as possible. Your fantasy football team name should also be Frankenbacker related. Although I understand if you name it Favre Croc Butter this year.

If we have any attorneys present, we should probably trademark the thing.

I've been calling him Frankenbacker since I first saw it on Packerrats. Perfect nickname for #41.

OK, this is not related, but it fits. My house is about 10 miles from Frankenstein Castle. Not kidding.

I've visited there and met with the historian. What he told me is mind blowing.

This also isn't related as I'm not a Fantasy Football League enthusiast and therefore clueless as to what this thread is really all about.

Tarlam.

My Lady and I are planning a trip to Germany either next year or the following one. Of all the sites in Germany what are your top three suggestions to make a must visit to? Your next choice for a top four?

Geez, Woody, what are your interests?

Hamburg, Colongne(Köln), Munich(München), Berlin in that order if you just want cities.

If you want something else, you need to tell me.

Same...PB, was it you that coined it? I love the name though, its perfect for an LB/TE type.

With the ever expanding global reach of Packerrats, it should be possible to infiltrate the mainstream media with this nickname in say 10 to 20 years, easy.

Nope. I liked it, but someone else coined it.

If my subsequent comment is to be believed, Bob Dobbs should get the credit.

Who gets credit for the Croc Butter?

Who gets credit for the Croc Butter?

Well, Brent does, obviously. Or maybe Deanna Jr. depending on your point of view.

A commenter on Deadspin posted a picture of that product. Amazingly, it wasn't NSFW.

ok...i've missed this. who in the heck is frankenbacker?

edit: ok...i see from a post above it's havner. why?

I think "Frankenbacker" could become a noun used to mean a guy who plays multiple positions - offense, defense, and special teams.

It also sounds to me like one of the linebacking nicknames for one of the positions. "Yes, Wayne, I see that the Pack has Havner lined up at Frankenbacker."

ok. i get it now.

So, Rickenbacker makes a guitar called the Frankenbacker. I'm sure among Havner's many talents, he plays the guitar. The possibilities are endless. Maybe a video of him playing the guitar while doing circles on his motorcycle.
