I was just sitting here thinking of a blog topic this morning, and my mind started drifting (again) all along the NFL landscape.

We have great interest in all the teams in pro football, but seldom do we give any thought to how any team got its name.

After a while, we are so used to a reference that we give no thought to its origin.

Some of the NFL nicknames are of obvious origin, but there are a few unique aspects to some nicknames that I thought I would share, just for the fun of it.
