About Ed Wesley's proposed nickname

[NubomTurk]

Since "Sprint Darter" died an ignominious death, and since none of you people had the vision and good taste to adopt my own suggestion of "Sped Freshly," I have another idea:

Since announcers from the CBS-College Network to the Rose Bowl seem to call him this anyway, why don't we just start calling him "Ed Weasley," like Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies?

Seriously even the Rose Bowl announcer at the game called him Weasley. How hard is it to pronounce WESLEY?

 

[goldenfrog]

And the TV announcer during the Utah did it as well I believe.

I actually liked Sped Freshly...

 

[TCURiggs]

How about E Weezy?

 

[Frogs On A Plane]

Yeah Sped Freshly is a good one.

Sprint Darter on the other hand is the WORST nickname I have ever heard. Gunner you should be ashamed of yourself for that one!

And the thing is, "Wesley" is a much more common name than "Weasley". If his name was Weasley and they pronounced it Wesley, everyone could at least understand that mistake. But this is the opposite of the direction that the mistake should go.
