Jim Souhan: Nickname is one area Walsh is lacking

The moniker assigned to kicker Blair Walsh is a little too easy. You know, the way he makes kicking look.

A simple "Otto" should do it, as in Otto(auto)-matic !!!

Let the dude from the Rams keep Legatron. I like Legitimus Prime. Nah, how about rookie Pro Bowler?

Legolas is fitting for a diminutive minnesota kicker -- From Lord of the Rings, Legolas was an Elf of the Woodland Realm and one of nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring. Hopefully, Walsh will bring a Super Bowl ring to Minnesota. An alternative pronunciation would be Leg-o-Lots (i.e. lots of leg).

Who cares? The Vikings are going to get crushed when they play the Texans on Sunday. It just doesn't matter.
