My boyfriend and his friend were talking the other day during the Texans' game about how the team's defense is nicknamed "Bulls on Parade", after the Rage Against The Machine song. I thought that was kind of cool, so I asked about a few other cool nicknames in sports and they came up with that guy for the Lions they call "Megatron", which I think is awesome...
Anyway, I was wondering what are some of the coolest nicknames in sports? Either for players, teams, groups of players, anything...

Charles Barkely... Round Mound of Rebound
When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser. Socrates I always liked the name Fred "The Crime Dog" McGriff.
and there was a baseball player who's nickname was "El Guapo". No idea who it was and what it means but I like it, LOL!
And although they are real names I like Rusty Kuntz and Ron Tugnutt. imagine going through life with those names.
BTW, I do think the Anaheim Mighty Ducks is stupid. Why would you name a pro hockey team after that stupid movie?
Again for Charles Barkley. I actually seen him say this in a commercial he was doing. One of his nicknames was always
Sir Charles. Then after he put on a bunch of weight. He was being called. Sircumference.
