Nickname the Chiefs Offensive Line!


Like any famous, or infamous in this case, group goes, a nickname must be given.  It's a sports rule or something.  As we know, our line is awful.  Over the last few years, with the retirements and departures of Will Shields, Willie Roaf, and Casey Wiegmann, our line has turned a perennially dominant five man blocking unit (we had several streaks of starting 5 linemen extending more than one season, which is rare) into a carousel that has turned the record setting LJ into Jamal Lewis and sent many QBs to the injured lists.  But if this preseason is any indication, the 2009 incarnation of the Chiefs line could take this level of suck to a new and expensive low.

Before we actually get to some nickname suggestions, I'll give some famous group nicknames in football history.

Now for some negative nicknames, because, after all, that's what we're looking at here.

The Ain'ts (New Orleans Saints, 1967-present, zero Super Bowl appearances or wins)

Chefs_medium

via sixfourthreeblog.files.wordpress.com


My suggestions (FINALLY I'm sure some of you, if you made it, are thinking), which aren't all that great; but, whatever.

The French Resistance: a lot of talk until the fighting starts

White-flag_medium

via www.worldpeace.no


The Blocking Dummies: obviously a joke because our line does not block much at all

Tackling_2520dummies_medium

The Fall Out Boys: these guys are an intimidating bunch

via images.hitfix.com


Cassel's Penetrable Wall: other teams only need to look at our line to find the way through

Castle-wall_medium

via www.itraveluk.co.uk


The Chef Salads: mostly because it's different everywhere you go, but still a general wussy dish

Rosarios_chef_salad_medium

via blogs.nashvillescene.com

The Red Light District: this is what our running backs see as they approach the line of scrimmage, and really, our line is really just a playground for the drunken imaginations of opposing defenses, just to satisfy the Amsterdam reference

Headline-redlight_1_medium

via hscweb3.hsc.usf.edu


The Red Blush: soft, revealing, attractive...this is what defenses see

Istockphoto_6086899-red-blush-tulips_medium

via www.istockphoto.com


The Red Herrings: our line really is good at hiding the rest of the problems our team has

Red-herring_color_medium

via sketchedout.files.wordpress.com


The Gingers: South Park's soul-less, dumb, and problematic bunch....the world must be rid of them according to Eric Cartman.

Spep_912_ginger_kids_medium

via z.about.com

The Red-Headed Sluts: Our line could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch!

6a00d8341e053453ef011168fbd7cc970c-800wi_medium

via www.reds-world.com

No offense to women; it's just a drink.

 


I encourage everyone to try a nickname, because this group is so bad we might have a full roster of skill players injured by the bye week.

And, yes, I am LDD, I left clues

For those old enough to remember the movie “16 Candles”, “The Donger” is a reference to “Long Duk Dong” (“no more spanky my wanky…the donger need food”), whose initials are suspiciously similar to those of LarryDoggyDog.

Shhhhhhhh, don’t tell.

My nickname

I really like the French Resistance but I think the best way to describe them is:
The Pumice Line or TPL for short.

Why should they be called this, well lets at what Pumice is desecribed as.
“Easily the most porous rock, so much so that it can actually float on water”
“Pumice is considered a glass because it has no crystal structure”
“Pumice is a common product of explosive eruptions (or blocking breakdowns)

"I will fight you!"
"What is your weapon?"
"My bare hands!"
"That is stupid. I will use a sword and I will cut off your bare hands."
