Delhomme versus Plummer..who is more snake-like?

[panthers55]

Plummers stats 29253 yards passing, 161 TDs, 161 Ints- passer rating 74.5

 

Delhommes stats: 20974 yards  passing, 126 TDs, 103 INTs, passer rating 81.3

 

Jake Plummer got his nickname as a tribute to Jake the Snake Roberts, a professional wrestler.  Roberts took the name as a tribute to his favorite player, Ken the snake Stabler.

Exactly my point, mon frére. All used the snake nickname (excpept Delhomme because it was already currently being used.) without displaying any snake-esque traits. So if a tall, thin, elusive QB with a forked tongue, named Jake ever emerges in the future, he will not be able to use "the Snake" nickname, because it has been wasted in a haphazard manner. 

How in the fugg do you get a nickname as a tribute to someone else's nickname anyways? How does that work? I have no more questions, your honor.

Can a mod please pin this thread so that it gets the proper attention that it deserves? Thanks.

Jake Delhomme should never be called Jake the Snake. I still remember Chris Collinsworth saying 'Jake the Snake' during the Tampa Game in 2003. And IIRC, Chris already used it for Jake Plummer years earlier.

 

I'm going to rewatch that game this week. hmmmmmmm

I was wondering if anybody would bring up the original Snake

Jake 'The Snake' Locker could seize that nickname if he randomly hid snakes in teammates lockers.

Oh man, this one had me rolling too. So much quality humor in this thread.

Masterful.

If this thread doesn't get promoted to a front page article, then there is no justice in this world.
