This is the 17'ing answer. How did Ole Miss not catch more grief for this guy?

Ole Miss was getting taken to Pound Town by the NCAA about the same time he signed. Not long after that, his head coach got caught not using a Burner. I guess it just kind of got stuck on the back page.

The Great One
Sweetness

Shaq's nicknames don't count, because he gave them to himself. Only rappers get to do that.

And, yes, I know Shaq considered himself a rapper, but this thread is for sports nicknames.
