I haven't seen this anywhere else, but did anyone else notice in the freep gallery from the first day of practice that Denard's shoe laces appear to be untied in the picture of him?
Could this be where the nickname came from? Does anyone have any insight into this?
Looks like despite not wearing pads the first day of practice, everyone else had their shoes tied. Weird.
Really? You care about this?
I don't know...
I thought it was interesting and that maybe it would have something to do with the nickname?
I do think it is a little strange that he was the only guy without his shoes tied during the first day of official drills.
Shoelaces
RichRod was on WTKA this morning and talked about it. He said that Denard laces his shoes up in such a way that he never actually ties the laces, and always has done it that way. RObinson's shoes apparently dont come off his feet and God knows it doesn't hurt his speed. You probably can getthe full explanation on the www.wtka.com and click on today's podcast.

Wow
I know that we're pretty observant on this board but I'm frankly amazed that you noticed that. I don't know whether I should say "bravo" or "creepy". Brapy?
Crevo?
?
Breepy.
Breepy.
Cool?

Actually, It's where his nickname came from
I read so much that I'm not sure where I read this. But yes, that is where he got his nickname. In one of the profiles on Denard (maybe a local paper), it mentioned that in middle school he still couldn't (wouldn't?) tie his shoelaces. The nickname stuck. My thought when I read it was 'he couldn't tie his shoelaces in middle school?'
Excellent!
Exactly why I posted the thread. Thanks for the update!
Yes, I know it is marginally creepy (or crevo or breepy or whatever it was termed earlier in the thread), but its fun to know the background!
It is a little known fact
It is a little known fact that Denard is the younger brother of "Tyrone" Shoelaces.
I sure
I sure as hell didn't notice it. However, I do need to figure out how to steal that picture for my avatar. I need a more recent picture of Shoelace in action. Suggestions?

How about these?
They just confirmed this on
They just confirmed this (origin of the nickname) on the BTN.
...and by that, I mean helter-skelter, willy-nilly and putt-putt!
