Nicknames
Rison is also remembered for his life off the football field, which garnered him the nickname "Bad Moon" Rison from ESPN sportscaster Chris Berman, alluding to the song "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Former girlfriend Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of R&B group TLC possessed a tattoo referencing this name.
During his three season stint with Kansas City, Rison was nicknamed Spider-Man and would often fake shooting a web, like Spider-Man, after scoring a touchdown. Rison gave himself the nickname in part because he viewed Spider-Man as a positive character and wanted to be thought of as less of a headache and problem.
