FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS, PART NANYE & NAMBILI

THE SUBLIME
Today's 11th edition is "what's in a name" focusing on nicknames. Can you guess what the nicknames of the current Packers? Well, I won't make you look to the bottom of the page, so here they are.

The Original 'Curly' Lambeau
Defense

Busari Raji Jr.: His true nickname is B.J., but since he is using that as his real name he has now proclaimed himself "The Freezer" in reference to William "The Refrigerator" Perry.

Letroy Guion: "Gucci" because of his resemblance to rapper Gucci Mane.

Mike Pennel: "Baby Hayneworth" for looking like Albert Hayneworth before Hayneworth got lazy.

William Clay Matthews III: "Claymaker" for making plays early in his Packers career.

Jayrone Elliott: "Sackmaster" for the three sack game against the Rams he had in the preseason last season.

Demetri Goodson: "Meech". Goodson’s mother remembers Demetri as a baby who arrived two months early, weighing 4 pounds. "He’s always been a fighter," she said. He became "Meech," soon after, named after his godfather.

Ha’Sean Treshon Clinton-Dix: He was called "Ha Ha" by his grandmother when he was 3 or 4 years old.
