So doing a little research on you guys....

I am old and Green Mean is correct. We were using the term "Mean Green" before Joe was famous because of the wife of our sports information director.

This thread is awesome. Next time I register on another team's board, I'm stealing PersonyPerson. That has too much of a WTF factor to let it go to waste.

Now, if you want to believe that our nickname came from Joe Greene, that is your ignorant choice. Ignorance, and intellectual laziness seems to be almost epidemic these days.

Welcome to the board.................

Bahaha... What the heck, Silver? Do you you talk to people like this in person??

I do like the "welcome to the board"... Nice touch.

...and found out that you got your name from Mean Joe Greene. Interesting, I didn't realize he went to school there. Is this true? Per wikipedia .

Damn straight he did. And he could totally kick Herschel Walker's ass with one hand tied behind his back. just sayin'

Only when people choose to take the easy road to gaining information about something, and try to play fast and loose with our traditions. The false notion that we got our nickname from Joe Greene has been a long standing and long dying rumor. I guess that when Gurlyman decided that it was just easier to go with the false rumor something (as it usually does with me) snapped. Anymore it seems that people acquire and consume information in the same manner as they acquire and consume food......fast and full of fat and salt. As a result, our collective brains are getting smaller and our collective asses are getting bigger.

Most of the time I'm really a fun person to carry on a conversation with.

Don't worry, my wife has already chided me about the same thing.
