Yup, it's 'The Mad Stork'. He also had a Raider nickname ('Kick 'em in the head Ted').

Soo, which wikipedia should we believe??

It was at UM that the tall, thin Hendricks gained the nickname “The Mad Stork." It was a nickname that would follow him through his professional football career.

Just another time Wikistoopedia can say two different things at the same time.

That's why i prefer to go straight to a credible source, and not some slip-shod site that relies on others to cite a source.

Ted was noted as being a strong, fast and devastating tackler. His 6'7" frame and wide ranging arms led his teammates at the University of Miami to add the moniker "the Mad Stork" to his identity.

Either way.

Couple weeks ago, Romey referred to 'The Incident' and how he used to badger 'Chrissy' on the radio as well as on his TV show....he was making an analogy with Cutler and what life might be like when next season starts or when he goes out in public in Chicago.

Here are some of the all-time greatest:

6. Mean Joe Greene: Sometimes the simplest nicknames are the best. The legend is that the Steelers fan base thought the nickname of the North Texas football team — “The Mean Green” — was actually Joe’s nickname. But hey, it fits.

5. Slingin’ Sammy: The Redskins’ Sammy Baugh was one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, but he received his name from a Texas sportswriter because of his exploits on the baseball field at Texas Christian University.

4. The Galloping Ghost: Bears RB Harold “Red” Grange actually should get bonus points for having two great nicknames. The “Galloping Ghost” was penned by famed Chicago sportswriter Warren Brown for the way the Hall of Famer moved on the field.

3. Sweetness: Bears RB Walter Payton retired as the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, but got his nickname while at Jackson State University. Most believe that “Sweetness” was an ironic nickname because of his thrashing running style. Payton also had a larger-than-life personality off the field to match.

2. Deacon Jones: Just the single name of “Deacon” struck fear into opposing quarterbacks during the 1960s. David “Decon” Jones was another player who earned duel nicknames, also being known as the “Minister of Defense.” Hall of Fame coach George Allen called Jones the most valuable Rams player of all time.

1. Crazylegs Hirsh: Los Angeles Rams WR Elroy Hirsh earned his nickname at the University of Wisconsin when Chicago Daily News reporter Francis Powers wrote, “His crazy legs were gyrating in six different directions, all at the same time; he looked like a demented duck.” That running style made him a very popular sports star in Los Angeles in the 1950s.
