Eiftert Tower? - tenacious-B - 10-15-2015
Am I the only one making the connection between our towering 6'6" stud TE Tyler Eifert and the Eiffel tower? I mean, it's just kinda staring everyone in the face but I have yet to hear anyone refer to Tyler as The Eifert Tower. In Geoff Hobson's latest article he throws out "Zonk" as an answer to New England's Gronk?...please no, don't let that stick.
Maybe I have horrible taste in nicknames, but I think The Eifert Tower is kind of a cool nickname. Burn me if you feel the need, it's just my $0.02.

Here's your $ 0.02 back...
What's up with nicknames?
He's the real TE (Tyler Eifert). Everyone else is just pretending to be one.

That's actually pretty good. I dig it. And I'm not a big supporter of nicknames myself, I just read Hobson's article and felt the need to get something out there before something like "Zonk" became a thing.

RE: Eiftert Tower? - OrlandoBengal - 10-15-2015
Why on earth would Hobson refer to him as "Zonk"?? I'm happy this board is no longer on the homepage, that way I don't even have to scan through his articles on the way to the boards...

The Eifert Tower is actually one of my fantasy team names. The others,
The Burfict Storm
The grass is AJ Greener
The Geno Atkins Diet
I think I have a football problem.

I made the connection once before, just thought it sounded kinda corny.
RE: Eiftert Tower? - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 10-15-2015
Anything is better than Zonk my friends.

That is true though, isn't a Zonk what you get when you lose on 'Lets Make A Deal'?

When you get hit hard enough to go to sleep i believe.
RE: Eiftert Tower? - Devils Advocate - 10-15-2015
'zonk' is terrible. Why would anyone wanna have a nickname playing off another's nickname?
the Eifert Tower is good and it makes sense. Not that I even care about nicknames.
Why 'Zonk' and not 'Tonk' though? At least the 'T' makes sense, for 'T'yler.
RE: Eiftert Tower? - grampahol - 10-15-2015
Ehh..not a fan of cutesy nicknames. Much to my shame I read Hobson every day and the longer I read him the more I think he should be writing for the society page reporting on teenage girl fashion trends.

Ouch! Feel the burn, Geoff!
I've actually been reading him almost everyday (at least during the season) since around '99 and he can be a bit dramatic at times, but overall I think he's pretty good.
RE: Eiftert Tower? - Lawless_1 - 10-15-2015
Eifert Tower is the name of my fantasy football team and has been since week one
RE: Eiftert Tower? - WestCoastBengalsFan - 10-15-2015
I would vote for Eifert Tower

I think you are right, only seen that weird ass show a couple times though changing the channels.

Can Hobspin find a worse nickname?

Its all bad, nicknames.
But if i had to vote for the ones listed so far i could go with The Eifert Tower.
RE: Eiftert Tower? - djs7685 - 10-16-2015
I'm going to start referring to Eifert as "Zonk" just because of how hilariously awful that is. Seriously, that's probably the worst nickname I've ever heard in my life.
RE: Eiftert Tower? - StoneTheCrow - 10-16-2015
Hobson is so corny. "The Ocho" days are proof of this.
