On Sunday night, you saw a somewhat-jaundiced looking Nick Sirianni go apeshit on the sidelines and tell the Dallas Cowboys to fuck off.

In response, Angelo Cataldi has dubbed this version of Sirianni “Nasty Nick,” via Logan Mullen at Audacy –

That’s not the first time Sirianni has been that emphatic on the sideline. He doesn’t constantly show that side of himself, but he’s done it enough now in his run with the Eagles that it’s clear it very much is part of his personality. In Sirianni’s weekly appearance on 94 WIP, Angelo Cataldi told the Eagles coach he likes to refer to that side of him as “Nasty Nick”.

Sirianni is on board.

“I like that,” he responded. “I’m glad that you think Nasty Nick only comes out every once in a while, because I think it naturally comes out a little bit more than that, but good. I’m glad I’m hiding that. I just always stick up for our guys, I love our guys. They’re my family, right?

“Just like I would stick up for my brothers even though they were older than me, when they would lose a game or something like that would happen to them, I would stick up for them. That’s just the way it is, that’s just the way I was brought up. And so it was the same thing there in that scenario (with Jason Kelce).”

Thoughts? Nasty Nick is okay I guess. I am somewhat ambivalent on this nickname. If we’re being honest, I kind of prefer Nasty Nate, from the classic 1998 film, Half Baked.
