  • The Garaji?

    From Kevin Seifert's Blog:

    "Raji is on the cusp of superstardom, at least that which is afforded to a nose tackle, both because of his big plays and his big personality. Nothing captures a national audience like a big football player happily galloping between unorthodox situations, and that's what Raji has done in the playoffs. He has now been on the field as an extra fullback for two short-yardage scores and now has a touchdown of his own after Sunday's interception."

    "In fact, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, Raji is the biggest player in history to score a postseason touchdown. Elias bases that ranking on listed weights, which aren't always accurate. But nevertheless, Raji is listed at 337 pounds -- 19 more than former Bears defensive tackle William "The Refrigerator" Perry was in 1985".


    "Raji has taken to calling himself "The Freezer," but I like what @JBraun1610 suggested via Twitter for a nickname: "The Garaji." Let's see if we can get that one going."

    _________

    OK, if you like Xs and Os, this crap means nothing to you. If it's the Bears or the Cowboys in the Superbowl, this kind of stuff grates on your nerves. But the difference now is that this is the Packers. It's our turn for the absurd, somewhat humorous, completely banal, "only happening because it's the Superbowl", extra week garbage. And debating whether B.J. Raji should be "The Freezer" or "The Garaji" becomes more important that the State of the Union address. I say 'yes' to the Garaji! Discuss.

    I have no problem with Garaji but if that's going to be his name then I don't see how Seifert can describe him as "galloping." Maybe that brings up an important question that should be considered along with the name: how exactly does a Garaji move?

        Garaji is too cute for a NT.

        "I'm the Freezer baby!"

          Don't like 'The Freezer' at all.

          Why would you want a nickname that reminds you of a Bear player? It lacks originality, and smacks of one-upmanship. "nyah nyah, you're the fridge, but I'm the freezer!" is too close to "oh ya? well my dad could beat up your dad"

              I hear what you're saying, but I'm always happy one-upping the Bears. Mostly because there's only one category where they ultimately win (head to head record). Otherwise, one-upping means they always lose. And that makes me happy.
              No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                Raji was born in 1986. I wonder if he knows who "The Fridge" was.
                I can't run no more
                With that lawless crowd
                While the killers in high places
                Say their prayers out loud
                But they've summoned, they've summoned up
                A thundercloud

                    I prefer the Cooler over the Freezer, plus you shouldn't get to nickname yourself Deion!

                    But I like Garaji the best.
                    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                      The Bear reference argument against "The Freezer" is a point well-taken, but "Garaji" seems a little random.

                      It's like my friend whose name is Bebeau and is pronounced "BEBO". That name is already a nickname. I think that may be the case with Raji.

                          And I thought I was in heaven getting a 'pup-peroni' now and then for not wetting the carpet.

                            How about we call him "B.J. Raji?"
