Good call on Night Train. Might be my favorite sports nickname of all time, in fact. Makes me think of an Edward Hopper painting.

Yeah, I thought we had done this before:
Favorite Pro Nicknames - Front Office Football Central

I went with "Sweetness" there- it definitely belongs in the Nickname Hall of Fame, if such a thing exists.

Sam "Bigsmooth" Perkins is a classic. Considering he was a 7-footer and always looked blunted out of his mind and just sat out at the 3-point line bombing lefty-set-shots during the twilight of his career. Anyway, seems like a fitting name for the guy.

Ike "Toast" Taylor ... or at least that should be his nickname after today.
