Max Scherzer is famously nicknamed "Mad Max," inspired by the character from the Mad Max film series. The nickname reflects his intense, competitive demeanor on the mound:

- Origin: Gained in college or early MLB days due to his fiery expressions, focus, and aggression during games.

- On-field traits: Known for stomping, yelling, and intense stares when pitching, embodying a "warrior mindset."

- Cultural fit: The moniker highlights his resilience and ability to dominate under pressure, much like the post-apocalyptic hero.

Fans and media widely use this nickname, adding to his identity as one of baseball's most electrifying players.

Fulham is nicknamed "The Cottagers" because their home ground, Craven Cottage, was historically surrounded by small cottages. They are also called "The Whites" due to their traditional all-white home kit, which dates back to the early 20th century.
