I was under the impression that it was the Greek Cannon. Has that changed?

What's his brother's handle? "The Greek Gopher #2"? Are there other players of Greek ancestry on the squad. Is there a "Greek Gopher #3"?

Let's call him Chuck Connors! Whether he likes it or not!

 

[The SF Rock]

Greek Gopher it is!

 

[Otis]

Chuck!

Part rifleman, part Norris!

He can really Chuck that pigskin with deadly precision!

Think of all the Chuck Norris jokes we can repurpose.

I thought it was "Ethan"?

 

[huntster17]

The "Greek Rifle" in my circle!

There has been a reference to his preferred handle--The Greek Gopher", so

(1) what bakery is going to help his NIL with "The Greek Gopher Pastries"?
(2) what restaurant or food truck will help his brand with "The Greek Gopher Gyros"?
(3) what local winery will produce a private label "The Greek Gopher Wine"?

What else?

 

[The SF Rock]

Hmmm… Greek Gopher Feta Cheese. Contemplating.

The Grecian Formula #8! Assuming there's no trademark infringement of course.

Edit: Incorporated the jersey number.

The Grecian Formula! Assuming there's no trademark infringement of course.

It has to be "The Greek Gopher" Extra Virgin Olive Oil, or "The Greek Gopher" Hair Shampoo/Conditioner etc to avoid trademark issues.
