I like DangeRuss , also RussellMania .

"first name Russell last name Wilson" is my favorite. thanks deion sanders for that.

I like it also. Seems some of the media has taken to it.

Okay, I admit to being hopelessly out of touch, but could you tell me what song Deion Sanders is taking the "First Name Russell, Last Name Wilson" from?

While DangeRuss is okay, I also prefer the last name approach. As for a nickname, I'm sticking with "Will It" Wilson. Rolls off the tongue, it's unique, not derivative, and indicative of Wilson's ability to WILL the Seahawks to WIN!

BTW, we need to get THIS going at the Clink!

RW3 makes him sound like a RGIII knock-off. He deserves better.

Slick nicknames are for selling cereal and sneakers. I say we admire Wilson for not caring about cool nicknames. Let RG3 waste his time meeting with ad agencies, Wilson will be studying game film to beat his ass.

Hopefully Wilson gets some endorsement deals, the guy is not going to earn what he is worth for several years.

Yep, Russell Wilson never meets with ad agencies... :roll: I guess Levi's just happened to catch Russell walking around town that time right? All high profile athletes do this type of stuff, their name is a valuable commodity. Especially for a guy like Wilson, who is making a tiny amount comparatively to the rest of the QB field, the more name recognition the better. Don't fool yourself to think that Wilson is any different in that aspect.

The difference is the emphasis place upon it by us fans, that is all.

RW3 and DangeRuss are both stupid. One says he us a clone of another player, and the other is just dumb. I am not a big fan of nicknames to begin with, they are just childish.

And please, not another Mighty Mouse.

ALL of this for the win.../thread

this, 500,000 he's scheduled to make next year. which if it was me, i'd be jumping for joy, but for an NFL starting QB, table scraps... gotta get what you can while you can.

I think RW's actual name should just double as his nickname. I have never heard a player called by both his first and last name more than Russell Wilson. It's always "RussellWilson". Never Russell, never Wilson...it's "RussellWilson". Catchy enuff. Let's roll with it. His parents thank you, I thank you.
