| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01  | OK, its one of the worst sports nights of the year and I'm bored. Reading PlasticMan's football post got me thinking about teams with stupid names, especially ones that made sense until they moved. Utah Jazz. When they moved from New Orleans they should have given up the name. Do the Mormons even know what Jazz is? Indianapolis Colts. I can see Baltimore (Maryland) proud of their thoroughbred history. But the brickyard doesn't race horses.  2002 Crack Committee Objectives: (modified version)(You gotta try and believe....) 1.Hate the Braves with PASSION and extreme prejudice 1a. Try and go a week without having to punch a wall in frustration after watching the Mets play 2. 90 Wins and somehow get the Mets into playoffs this year 3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year 3a.Have team understand it is OK to get a hit with runners on base. 4. Mets win World Series (after divine intervention) | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | I think any team that has a name that is either a plural without an 's', or is an adjective is a terrible name. The WNBA suffers from thi disease...Liberty, Mercury, Sol...The NBA has a few...Jazz, Heat, The problem is that, how the fuck can I describe a player for the team? I can't call him or her a Knick or Yankee or Giant, I have to use extra words, such as "a member of the Heat" or "player for the Liberty."  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Washington Wizards Pretty pointless name if you ask me. Where are there wizards in Washintgton? Atlanta Thrashers Awful. Any WNBA team name Self explanatory. St. Louis Rams Find me 1 RAM in St. Louis.  Thanks to Austin for the pic 1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year 2. Hate the Braves with a passion 3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year 4. Mets win World Series 5. Go 52-24 over the last 76 games of the season, it can happen right?

It also provides a place for us to dump garbage and relocate sucky baseball franchises from Queens to a place far far from the city. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | Buffalo Sabres - Who names a team after a sword?? Atlanta Thrasher - Is it a bird or something? Magic; Wizards; Mystik; Mercury; Jazz; and any other Harry Potter-like team name. Seattle Supersonics - What is a Supersonic and it doesn't go with Seattle. Ugly colors I might add... Minnesota Wild - There's no jungles in Minnesota, so why use one as your team's logo? Houston Astros - What is an Astro?? Isn't that a name of a mini-van?  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: That is not what I found HISTORY OF THE COLTS 1946-1984: According to this there was a Miami Seahawks that became Baltimore Colts (which went bankrupt), and then in 1953 Carroll Rosenbloom moved the NFL's Dallas franchise to Baltimore where they kept the Colts name but adopted the Dallas colors of blue and white. I haven't found anywhere that they were in Indy before Baltimore.

Hawaii Rainbows (NCAA): No name gayer Houston Texans (NFL): Redundant. Would they be the Newark New Jersians if they play in nj? Utes (NCAA): "Excuse me, the 2 what? Utes? What the hell is a Ute?"  | ||||
