[FAB802]

I used to think Hollywood Bags was a cool nickname.

[SteelrzGirl]

I voted for us, cause well, I love us. But I really like Monsters of the Midway the best.

[Doc]

sheesh...Obama has the Minnesotans voting like mad.

[Big Fella]

I like Purple People Eaters, but I wouldn't root for a team with that nickname. I voted for Steel Curtain, obviously.

[Steel Dino]

You have to admit...The Purple People Eaters is a great nickname.....

But the best in my opinion, especially for straight and to the point........is still....

"Mean" Joe Green

[Tres Rios]

I voted for The Crying Pansies Of The Northwest but don't know if they will get enough votes to win.

[markymarc]

Can't believe we are only at 18%. The Purple People Eaters are spanking the competition.

[Jer]

I agree with SG....Monsters of the midway is a great name. I voted like a Homer though

[bearcatsno69]

Isn't Barney purple? Not a very tough or terrifying color, is it?

[GoSteelers]

i voted 10 times for the Steel curtain.

[Aries1247]

Too bad they didn't do any 'eating' when it came to the Super Bowl, like the way the Curtain covered O's in those games.

[crimsonsteel]

Oh they ate all right. Too bad it was humble pie. I voted 5 times. Didn't even knock a dent in the percentage. Now....I have to go to work. Good luck fellow homers.

[SteelrzGirl]

I always thought Purple People Eaters sounded gay and doesnt sound very scary to me.

When I think Monsters of the Midway, I see big, scary, slobbering, mean, creatures looming over the Chicago skyline stepping out of Lake Michigan.

[BermudaSteel]

"Sweet Dick Willy"? Oh, that was my high school nickname...LOL

I voted for us. But I think SG's argument holds alot of water...

[Aries1247]

Duh. All this time I'm voting, I'm not even realizing it's one fo those stupid NFL Net shows. No wonder we're not winning. When the show airs they'll say, 'since the Vikes never won a Super Bowl, we'll let them win this', like with the Saints D that time.

It's been 49%-18% the whole damn time. I think the fix is in.

[JohnnyO]

I used to think Hollywood Bags was a cool nickname.
He Hate Me from the XFL. :D

[Garrett]

He Hate Me from the XFL. :D

LOL. Rod Smart = grammarian.

[Spike]

Billy "White Shoes" Johnson is my favorite.

[Coryea]

I couldn't agree more, the Vikes might as well called themselves the Purple Headed Yogurt Shooters.

[JohnnyO]

Billy "White Shoes" Johnson is my favorite.
Yeah, that's a good one too.
Was Icky Woods' real name Icky?
"Hacksaw Jim" Duggan.

[Tres Rios]

I can't believe P*ts wasn't a choice for nickname.

[1st & 10]

Cheatriots is kind of in vogue right now.

That might be the most appropriate name,
the name that best describes a team.

[Steelerman58]

Only one really great nickname in NFL history: Richard "Tombstone" Jackson.

[Pitt Charlie]

Was Icky Woods' real name Icky?


Would ya believe Elbert?

[SteelerScott]

Even if I wasn't a Steelers fan;... nothing beats John Facenda saying "THE STEEEL CUUURTAIN".

[GIJohnny]

We are missing a more important poll here: http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story?id=09000d5d808a901f&template=with-video&confirm=true The Top 10 Linbacker Corps in NFL history, at least the Steel Curtain is leading this one, but it's very young...

[Assgry]

Sorry, but the greatest NFL nickname of all time is:

Dick 'NIGHT TRAIN' Lane
