This may be a bit of a rant, but I'm kinda tired of announcers and coaches calling guys Brauny, Benny, etc. These are grown men and it's kinda demeaning to call them by names that their mothers called them when they were maybe five years old. I think they're trying to imply how close they are to them or their affection for them, but it's a freakin joke. Just stop it. Can you imagine Vince calling Ray "Nicky" or Halas calling Butkus "Dicky"? Now, as for the use of the term Cubbies... why are our announcers using that name? Craig Coshun was doing it in the pregame. Our annoucers should spit out the name of the Chicago rivals, not use a cute nickname favored by their female fans. It should be said with loathing, C-u-b-s, like Jerry used to say "Hello, N-e-w-m-a-n". He doesn't have to go so far as calling them the Scrubs, but at least don't call them the Cubbies. Just say it like we feel about them... we l-o-a-t-h-e them.
