The Rise Guys & Jon Brockman's Nickname

by section214 on Oct 7, 2009 1:39 PM PDT

I post this for purely selfish reasons. I was listening to The Rise Guys this morning, and they had an ongoing segment regarding Jon Brockman's nickname, and whether Jerry Reynolds' (and Aykis16's) "Brock Ness Monster" was indeed the best nickname for the rook. Several nicknames were bandied about (though "Mancakes" was conspicuously absent to the conversation while I was tuned in). Some are topical, some are seasonal, and some came to my little pea head while I was listening. I want to give credit where credit is due here, because my intention is to use these at times throughout the season. By giving due credit here, I hereby clear myself to utilize these at my discretion, without giving out any further credit.

Brocktoberfest! (Submitted by a listener via text message) This will only work during the preseason, but this has the potential to be right up there with the Bob Newhart or Joe Kleine drinking games. Every time Brockman does something in preseason, you yell "It's Brocktoberfest!" and you chug a beer. This game has been approved by Anheuser Busch and Eric Musselman.
The Brocktologist! (Submitted by Phantom) Per Phantom's suggestion, this nickname could be used whenever Brockman is "all up in someone." My personal favorite, and a good reason why I should never listen to these guys while driving in heavy traffic with a mouthful of hot coffee.
White Brocolate (Mine) If he makes a nice pass, it's a natural.
Blue Collar - BTO (Started by Phantom, finished by me) This is more of a compilation piece and a poster opportunity. The old folks will remember Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and they had a hit song called "Blue Collar." Brockman, Tyreke, Omri...BTO - Blue Collar. A little lame, I know. But if I can't share my lameness with you, where am I to turn?
Brock Holiday (Mine) If he is having a good shooting night.

I will throw in one more good line from this morning's show (I think that it came from Whitey). It was said that the "Brock Ness Monster" might be a good nickname, because it infers that it is more legend than fact, and it is rarely seen. Brockman may have something to say about that, but it's still a good line.

I like the Brock & Roll portion if he ever actually is part of an actual P&R

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

This is cool

Even if Jerry’s getting credit (and hell maybe he did come up with it and I just guessed it, which was sort of the point of the 30q). The Brocktologist is hilarious though.

Since we all know now that you're actually Jerry Reynolds

Please use “Brocktologist” on the air. Thanks, JR.

So at the games, when he comes in

Should they play We Will Brock You?

Or Let’s Get Brocked?

Or Brock & Roll Fantasy?

And Section, get those coffee burns looked at soon.

How can you afford your Brock & Roll lifestyle?

I tried this one before but here goes again:

“Rock out with your Brock out”

Of course, the original Brockman-Turner Overdrive was most famous for their diddy “Takin’ care of business” which would work for those three (Brockman, Tyreke and Omri) as well.

and just thought of another one – because the guy is everywhere: “Brocktopus”

but seriously, the discussion ends for me with “Mancakes” that is just a winner.

Yeah -

Mancakes is definitely the most thread-worthy nickname.

I agree

Its too bad nobody out of STR will know what we’re talking about. Maybe we should make a concerted effort to call it in the Rise Guys.

This would imply

that we care about people outside of StR. And we don’t, do we?

Shock is one that's pretty commonplace.
