I'm calling him ODB no matter what  
AnotherGiantsFan : 10/1/2014 8:45 pm : link
I get that he abbreviates it a certain way, but ODB is a nickname to me. A nickname that I will be calling him for the rest of his career.

It's just too perfect.
How about

GeofromNJ : 10/1/2014 8:52 pm : link
The problem with OBJ and ODB is that you have to hold the shift key down for too many letters. :)

Exactly. In the first place you never use the Jr in initials and you never take two letters from a person's first name. The only way to do this correctly is OB. That's who he is.
To clarify to the people that don't know  
AnotherGiantsFan : 10/1/2014 9:15 pm : link
He's being called ODB not as an attempt to abbreviate his initials, but as a play off of Ol' Dirty Bastard (ODB). I thought that was a given.

ODB = Ol Dirty Bastard
OBJ = Odell Beckham Jr

why is this so complicated?

RIP, the real ODB - Wu-Tang Killa Bees

What fucktard came up with that for OBJ? It makes absolutely no sense. How does that even remotely relate to football?

Garbage.

I wish he could wear #1

OB1 would've been cool. But I guess that's his dad.

Since when do names or nicknames have anything to do with football? We're playing the Falcons. A team named after a fucking bird. In what way, shape, or form does that relate to football?

A nickname is a nickname because they are clever/funny/catchy/etc.

Well, if that's the case, "ODB" doesn't fit the above criteria, whatsoever.

That's your opinion, which I don't care for. I find ODB catchy. That's my opinion, which I'm sure you don't care for as well.
You would be correct..  
Canton : 10/1/2014 9:59 pm : link
And luckily your opinion is in the minority.



When did I ever dispute that?  
AnotherGiantsFan : 10/1/2014 10:08 pm : link
You asked questions, I answered them. Just because you ran out of dumb questions doesn't mean you have to make it personal. Or maybe it wasn't personal and you just hold nicknames for athletes high on your totem pole and are genuinely relieved.
Just call him

Ten Ton Hammer : 10/1/2014 10:35 pm : link
Is the biggest grasp for straws I've seen in a while. There's no connection between the two things whatsoever. Why would you do this except to chuckle at the memory of ODB's music?

You literally didn't answer anything. Lastly, it wasn't a dumb question at all. I was just too tired to refute it. In actuality, your rebuttal was gravely ill-informed. A majority of footbalk nicknames DO have meaning.

Such as:

1. Joe Namath “Broadway Joe”

2. Harold “Red” Grange known as "The Galloping Ghost,” or “The Wheaton Ice Man”

3. Dick Lane was known as “Night Train”

4. Elroy Hirsch “Crazy Legs”

5. Sammy Baugh was famously known as “Slingin’ Sammy”

6."Mean" Joe Green

7. Ray Nitschke as “Wildman”

8. Mike Ditka "Iron Mike"

That's just to name a few players with nicknames that have absolutely "everything to do with football."


Lastly, I didn't make it personal. But since you ran out of" dumb answers", I figured I'd hold your hand..








Kiwanuka  
AnotherGiantsFan : 10/1/2014 10:50 pm : link
Kiwi.

But there's no I in his name, what the fuck does a Kiwi have to do with football?

We aren't talking nicknames here. We're talking shortened versions of names that are catchy.

This isn't as difficult as you're making it.
I'm going with ODB  
Rasko : 10/1/2014 11:25 pm : link
And obviously it has everything to do with Ol' Dirty Bastard.

People saying that that association is some kind of reach are nuts-o.

And plus -- it just rolls off the tongue better that OBJ.

And calls to ming neither sex acts nor former presidents.

ODB. Let's make it official.

I really didn't understand how there were posts questioning this. Wasn't even worth addressing to be honest.
I also love this silly notion that BBI came up with ODB for Odell

That couldn't be further from the truth.
I am hoping he plays like JR2.

I have no idea whether BBI came up with or not, but to suggest that "it couldn't be further from the truth" is just nonsense. There are plenty of things that could be further from the truth than that. For instance, if someone had claimed that Vladimir Putin had come up with the ODB nickname for Beckham, I would think that that would qualify as further from the truth than to claim that BBI had come up with it. And that's just one example. I'm sure there are plenty more. Here's another one: claiming that Elvis Presley came up with it! That would even be further from the truth than to suggest that Putin came up with it. So now we have two examples of claims that would be further from the truth than claiming BBI came up with it. And that's just off the top of my head.

Is an inappropriate nickname... first and foremost because it is already taken and Beckham has no connection or relation to Old Dirty Bastard. How that makes it catchy is beyond me. I'm both a Wu Tang and Giants fan.

How many people liked Tomlinson appropriating LT? None. And that was more appropriate since it was his initials.

Slow down there on Putin. He could have made up ODB. I do know he stole Bob Kraft's Superbowl ring.
