Let's break it down, 6th grade english class style. David Thomas (subject) english-muffins (verb) his (possessive) way (direct object) to the four yard line (prepositional phrase) If we say that "David Thomas english-muffins" is all nickname, that means theres no verb in the sentence (and therefore its not a sentence). The defense rests. I agree that he was attempting one of his pun/nicknames, but the “english muffins” portion of the nickname was most definitely being used as a verb.

David Thomas (subject)
english-muffins (verb)
his (possessive)
way (direct object)
to the four yard line (prepositional phrase)

If we say that “David Thomas english-muffins” is all nickname, that means theres no verb in the sentence (and therefore its not a sentence).

The defense rests.

But as it's less funny and/or ridiculous that way (albeit only slightly), I'll continue to believe he used it as a verb. That is an interesting theory, rd.
