Pats TE's Nickname
 
A while back, there was a thread which discussed what the nickname of the TE duo of Gronk and Hernandez should be. I believe Boston TE Party won out.

After reading this from Greg Bedard's article on Aaron Hernandez's extension: Hernandez $41.1m extension shows Patriots are evolving - Sports - The Boston Globe :

"The man his closest friends and family call, “Chico” drifted some as a teenager..."

I'm kinda liking Chico and the Man as the new nickname. :)

Not to mention that show wasn't even near as good as our duo.

Sounds good as tagline (nickname); but ditto w/ joker and not only is the tv reference lost on folks; but if Hernandez's Chico nickname isn't known and used in the locker room; it is lost on most fan-folks on both ends of the reference.

I like this.......but only if the 'thick' boston accent doesn't come along with it.

TE-bagged would work also...butthat's more for a younger/gamer crowd (even if it made it into the mainstream a little bit)
