Quote from: zerophase on July 03, 2008, 11:57:11 PMI demand that you stop calling James Posey, "Big Game James." Big Game James was the nickname of James Worthy, and the naming of a Celtic after a former Laker causes me to grimace.As I said around the time when I first used it in the Daily Babble around here, he wasn't the first James to bestowed the "Big Game" title, and I can't imagine he'll be the last. But in my book, his performance this year certainly was good enough to allow those of us who enjoy doing so to occasionally refer to him with the standard 'cutesy rhyming title' as a mark of homage. So while I'll wish you the best with the grimacing, I'm afraid I may not be able to acquiesce to the demand made here.-sw

What about Slightly Overrated James?(I kid, I kid.)

I know of at least one person (me) that used it on here before you did (although I'll concede you popularized it with your front-page posts and the fact that people actually listen to you).To the OP - Posey gave himself the nickname as far as I understand it. So we can stop calling him it, especially if he doesn't resign
