Why is lesean mccoy nickname shady

Eagles running back LeSean McCoy received the nickname "Shady" from his mother as a baby, due to his constantly changing mood. McCoy's mother said that her son would "go from smiling one minute to shy the next. Shady can now stand for McCoy's elusiveness on the field. A quick-shift running back, McCoy is there one second and gone the next. Nicknamed "Megatron," Johnson is a big, strong, fast and above all, very talented wide receiver.

Megatron comes from the character in Transformers who is big and powerful with no known weaknesses. When it comes to NFL wide receivers, Johnson is at close as it comes to this description. Johnson is a prototype receiver that destroys opposing teams' defenses. Where rather than understand teams make cold, calculated decisions on personnel every day, mostly based on age, position or that player's impact on the salary cap, he'd rather strongly imply that his former coach traded him because he's a racist.

He wants the full control,'' said McCoy when asked how his relationship with Kelly ended. Especially all the good black players. He got rid of them the fastest. That's the truth. There's a reason. It's hard to explain with him. But there's a reason he got rid of all the black players — the good ones — like that. I have no way of knowing what lurks inside Chip Kelly's heart, but I do know this: Professional sports is probably the most color-blind business on earth because one thing trumps all — winning.

And when a team comprising many social, economic and racial backgrounds comes together to achieve a common goal, it's truly something the rest of society can emulate. There's no question that Kelly, as McCoy asserts, wants full control. His owner gave him power over personnel decisions following back-to-back win seasons after his winning run at the University of Oregon.
