Part IX, In Which Jack Kukoda Attempts To Give A Nickname To Every Player On The Buffalo Bills
J.P. Losman, QB #7
AKA “Adam Sandler’s Next Movie Character”
Starting at quarterback for the Bills, Happy Waterboy Gilmore Madison.
(I briefly considered putting a stop to this recurring feature since the Bills’ season is over, then I remembered that if I continue it throughout the offseason, I’ll be able to have a nickname for all the Bills by the opening of training camp. Also, it’s good space filler.)
I feel the need to point out that my Mom actually came up with this nickname. That’s right, my mother is ghostwriting my website. Jealous much, J.D. Salinger? Anyway, I was talking to her at the start of the Bills’ season and asked her what she thought of the new quarterback. “I don’t know about him,” she said. “He looks like one of those crazy people Adam Sandler would play.”
And she’s right. JP does look like a Sandler character. I don’t what else I can add to that.
Oh, I was just checking some Bills fans message boards and I saw a couple people refer to Losman as “The Waterboy,” So I’m not claiming to be the first person to notice it. We Buffalonians are a sharp bunch is all I’m saying.
Incidentally, does anyone think the sentence, “I was just checking some Buffalo Bills fans message boards…” would be a good way to start a first date? Because I do.
