(sigh) Another sign of the changing times.
Call me a hopeless traditionalist, but if grass fields, wooden scoreboards, brick stadia, asbestos helmet lining, and Bowery Boy-style nicknames were good enough for our lads of yore, they should damn well be good enough for these fancy new players and their fancy nicknames.

Note: Admittedly, "Dutch" Bergman may have the least intimidating football player pose ever taken. The Victorian fainting fan carried prominently in the front of his pants during warm weather games certainly did not help.
Also, as a second request, along with a return to our proud nicknaming roots, I would also like to petition for a return to our football picture poses of yore. Including, but not limited to, the Flying Punt, the Jump, Jive n' Pass!, and the Levitating Torpedo Block.
