HairOnFire Posted October 6, 2011 Report Posted October 6, 2011 "Banty Rooster"I had to google that - pretty obscure reference there, Hair It's only obscure if you don't know your Bengal history. When then 14-year old Paul Brown played QB for Washington High in 1924 he quickly earned the nickname "Banty Rooster" from his head coach and mentor, Dave Stewart. "He was like a banty rooster, full of authority and self-confidence." --- Dave Stewart Quote
TJJackson Posted October 7, 2011 Report Posted October 7, 2011 I am not sure Paul Brown's high school ball is something most of us would consider "Bengal History"I am also not certain of whether to be impressed with your knowledge of something so obscure, or frightened by itBetween the two, I think I will choose - to go to lunch early.

cincy9275 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Red Rifle the media is calling him that now and it's growing league wide. so it's pretty much official Dalton's nickname is ...... The Red Rifle!!! Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 If you watch the clip with Dalton mic'd against Indy, he even uses it. Cant say as I like it as much as Ginga Ninja though. Quote
Kazkal Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 On sound fx pf thr game heard them calling him red rifle Quote
Spor_tees Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Hobson called him the Red Baron. Man will they just make some official! I'm getting so confused I don't know what red headed quarterback of the Bengals they are talking about! Quote
UK Bengal Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Well in the miced footage dalton said I should come out with a red rifle that has to stick now Quote

Scottishbengal Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 I wouldn't worry about it. Dalton has achieved nothing as yet ..... he isn't even on the "famous sporting redheads" list so until he reaches that lofty height of fame I don't think he deserves one !http://www.redheadandproud.com/famous_redheads_sporting_A-L.html Quote

HairOnFire Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 OMG. RedHeadAndProud.com. I'm surprised HairOnFire wasn't aware of this website. Where do you think I got the idea to change Andy Dalton's nickname from the "Banty Rooster" or "The Farkel Flinger" to the even more obscure.....Andy "Tori Amos" Dalton? Quote

Spor_tees Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Everyone wants his nickname to go along with his red hair. How about calling him Andy "Capp" Dalton. That would go good for him being the Captain of the offense, plus that was the name of the quarterback in 'Any Given Sunday.' Quote
