No because he gets a lot of travel calls. And you don't have to be logical when you make nicknames. If you think too hard making them up you already lost.

The liquor names make no sense.

Grey Goose = Vodka = Russian
Jose Cuervo - Tequila = Mexican
Johnnie Walker = Scotch = Scotch

Ayon = Mexican =/= Russian
Grievis = Venezuelan =/= Mexican
Landry = African-American =/= Scotch


"Goose" is the nickname that Ayon was given by his teammates because "Gustavo" is his name. It being shorthand for vodka is a bonus given that Jack already had Gentleman Jack as his nickname.

Grievis and Landry being Cuervo and Johnny Walker, though, is trying too hard.

Actually, you guys even having this discussion at 8:15 in the morning is getting my day off to a weird start.

I have no problem with Goose. It's trying to adapt it to a liquor-themed roster. Maybe you should suggest New Orleans Drunks or Junkies for rebranding. I don't mind Gentleman Jack, either.

You shoud look for a nickname to fit a player not a player to fit a nickname.

Can we get Birdman from the Nuggets to do that?
