You may have noticed a few posts today written by another Mike.
Joining the PFT fray is Mike Wilkening. A former senior editor at Pro Football Weekly, Wilkening becomes a part-time scribe for the site.
That brings the total lineup to a solid six: MDS, Darin Gantt, Josh Alper, night-shifter Curtis Crabtree, Wilkening, and yours truly.
So give Mike Wilkening a proper welcome in the comments. And feel free to suggest a nickname for him, since we can only have one Mike.

Welcome MDub
Welcome Wilks!
Everybody loves a Mikey!
FIRST!
But there’s three Mikes? Unless Michael David Smith insists on being called by his full name?
Welcome Mike Wilkening. Looking forward to your articles. How about “The King”?
I don’t know Mike, I used to say you we’re the 5th best writer at PFT, now you’re the 6th best? Why you do this to yourself?
Welcome (new) Mike!
Wilks? Wilky? MW? Mikey?
“Chippy”
I don’t know. Mike deleted one of my comments earlier today but that’s nothing new, so does everyone else. Welcome New Mike.
Welcome, New Mike ! I’ll call you “Dragon”, but you have to call me “Knighthawk.”
“And feel free to suggest a nickname for him, since we can only have one Mike.”
He can be T-bone, Florio can be “Coco the Circus Monkey.”
hey there wilksie
Welcome Mike. Please no corny jokes like Florio gives us
it will not matter to coin a good nickname for you because it will just be censored and blocked
Thanks for the welcome, everyone. Looking forward to contributing at PFT.

Because its fun. For us.
BMW – Big Mike Wilkening
Welcome aboard Mike! Did you ask Florio if he had to re-structure his contract in order for PFT to sign you?
The Wilkenator!!!
Welcome Mike.
To echo several commenters, everyone loves a Mikey.
(or maybe the iconic T-bone)
Manti Wilkening
Milky Way! Seems fitting
Milky
“Boner” is available.
How about The Wilk Man? Or Wilkshire? Or Michelangelo? Mikey? The Awilkening? Will Kening? Or heck…just call him Wilkening.
Call him Kenny (Southpark).
How could you NOT make the headline anything but, “Wilcommen, Mike Wilkening!”???
How about “goofy beanie”?
MILK
Honest mike
The guy who won’t sensationalize every story
Mike a guy who’s headlines actually match the story
Just call ‘em Wee Willie.
Mike Florio – Florio
Michael David Smith – MDS
Mike Wilkening – Guvnah [it's the hat]
Lets call him “Accurate mike”.
I’ll call him Harold.
After looking at that pic, ‘Little Guido’ seems appropriate.
How ’bout Mike Wilkening is Mike and Florio becomes Mickey Flowers.
Judging from the pic, he likes the ponies. How ’bout “bug boy” or “mudder?”
You should bring Greg back. He’s the only one that is capable of truly understanding what is happening on the football field.
Brocktoon?
May I suggest The Erratic Dominator?
Hopefully, this guy actually knows how to write and doesn’t sweat the small stuff.
Unlike everyone else around here.
How about we just refer to him as “Mike” and Florio can be “Gay Mike,” in homage to his daily posts about gay football players and to show everyone that he’s totally cool with it because he’s tolerant like that.
As easy as it fits, the last guy that was called the Milk Man got a 50 game suspension for using PEDs.
I suggest: BMW/Beamer, Maurice, MikeDog, The Replacement, Silky Wilk, Muhammad Wilkerson, To Wilk or not to Wilk, MikWik
Dimples
He looks like somebody who would approach you on a subway at 2 am about buying some cheap pit bulls.
Wilkening, I’ve given this a lot of thought. From now on, your name is Flounder.
How about calling him “Fred”? That’s what I did when we got another cat.
The new Mike looks like the old Andy Capp from the comic strips back in the day. The hat really makes that statement. His Nick should be AC. Anyway, write some good stuff and don’t be as sensitive as Florio and go deleting any post that doesn’t agree with your opinion.
Pro Football Weekly to PFT??? Wow, times must be tough.
