Can't wait to see Ivory.

Over an hour ago - RB Chris Ivory (knee) and T Zach Strief (knee) fully practiced Thursday. It's looking as if Ivory will play Sunday after missing the first two games with a sprained MCL. He should be the No. 2 RB behind Pierre Thomas. Saints RapidReports

Poison Ivory will be all over the field with high yardage and PT will be cruising in front of him.

What is Poison Ivory? and why would you need calamine lotion for it?

Must be thinking about poison "ivy" which is the plant that has poison toxins and not "Ivory" which is Bone that protrudes through various animal species?

Lets not go out there holding signs up saying "poison Ivory" on live TV now lol..

Im just saying.. hope ya'll didn't already start printing that on T-shirts and signs... "gulp".

Oh ok, i didn't know but Where did he post that was his nickname? i've searched everywhere even Tiffin University site, his bio, wiki etc..

Or was it something made up here and got too catchy to stop?

As fans we make nicknames for the players, ya think brees just said hey going into the playoffs i want you to call me breesus. Obviously he didn't but every continues to call it him.

Yeah but Breesus makes a tad bit more sense as a fan-friendly gesture because it manipulates his name into something else, it take one meaning of a word and changing it to something else..
That like calling (Reggie Bush), (Reggie Beans) lol
Ala
(Chris Ivory) (Chris Ivy).. Ivory and Ivy is two different words.

I just think it's people who just grew up mispronouncing Poison Ivy, my mom use to say it Poison Ivory as well as funny as it was she knew it was Ivy and not Ivory..
I understand what the were trying to do it just didn't sound right.

Im just saying!..

Come on ivory

Not everyone, I detest that nickname. And Drew's not very fond of it either.

Cool Brees is OK, but I prefer Drew.
