    Have no problems at all with Mapletron. Pays tribute to both Canada and Calvin Johnson. I like it, actually.

    I like the play on Deadpool personally but since yinz want Mapletron that is probably what will stick.

    I personally think Mapletron sounds silly. Voltron sounds way better to me. So you get my vote for whatever that's worth.

    I actually really like Mapletron. I like that it is whimsical and not a self given "tough guy" name. I've heard AirCanada thrown around. To me that sounds more like a QB nickname.

    One that I like.. that everyone will hate (and rightfully so) is MAGUA. from Last of the Mohicans. ...

    Its mostly the hair style and that Chase is now sporting war paint the last few weeks

    But also Magua helped the French( French Canadians) calling him "The Wily Fox" Le Renard Subtil..

    But honestly I like Mapletron

    Air Canada is already taken by Vince Carter.

    Who is basically responsible for basketballs popularity in Canada and the early success of the Toronto Raptors.

    To top it all off he also was a phenomenal dunker.

    I’m not a fan of the “Mapletron” and Claypool doesn’t seem to like it either although he didn’t come out and say specifically, just that there is a nickname he’s not fond of. Probably Mapletron.

    Someone had said Optimus Prime, which is pretty cool sounding.

    Voltron just reminds me of the evil robot in the Avengers so that’s a no for me.

    Hey Hack.

    Great movie. Great soundtrack.

    Remember though, Magua was "served up" real good in that movie by the Son's Father. Now the Father was "wily" per se with his taken down of Magua. "Street moves" at their finest. However, I say Nay on Magua because of his fate. I see better things ahead for Claypool.

    By the way Hack, sorry to be uninformed but what is the Canada connection with Claypool. Birthplace? Hometown?

    I will try to work on a nickname as well.

    The man is a baller for sure. Man, I like our "Catchers". I stated this all summer. We have too many weapons for opposing team's to deal with IMO.

    WRs
    • JuJu
    • DJ
    • Claypool
    • Washington
    • McCloud
    TEs
    • McDonald
    • Ebron
    RBs
    • Conner
    • Samuels
    • McFarland
    I mean pick your poison. Anyone, on any given day, can have a big performance on this Team. I occasionally do worry about selfishness rearing its ugly head. However, so far, so good. Several games ago, I had to ask where was JuJu. He played but not much of an impact. Now he has come out of the shadows per se the last two games.

    Now I am asking where is Washington? I know he is there. My point is I would not be surprised if he is next up for that "Big Game". Same with McDonald. As I stated, so many weapons to keep the opposition guessing. And that is definitely a very good thing.


    Take care.
