Rename your NFL team

Cleveland Steamers... as in the pile we leave on the field 16 Sundays a year.

 

End of thread.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, your Tennessee Wonderlics.

 

The Dallas Drewsucks

 

Maybe Jim Kelly could make a comeback. He probably still has a better pocket presence than David Carr.

 

The Buffalo Hasselhoffs .. change the colors a little bit and have the team could come out onto the field in that KITT car

 

The Buffalo Scajaquadas.

Nobody can drive on that team, much less pronounce it correctly.

 

But winning the AFC North will be tough, always expect a fight from the Cincinnati Bow Ties ... [/40-year-old Virgin fan]

 

Not only Gretzky's first pro team (and he wore 99, not 15), but also Mark Messier's. The year was 1978 and they were both only 17 years old.



Nice Cooperalls, Wayne!

Gretzky played eight games with the Racers before being dealt to Edmonton (a salary dump, as the team was dying). Messier arrived after that and played five games. The club folded in December; Messier finished the season in Cincinnati with the Stingers, where his teammates included Mike Gartner, Robbie Ftorek and Barry Melrose.

 

Giants and Colts should combine franchises into one and have a quarterback named El Peyton

 

Serious reply:

My favorite team is the Chargers, and I think it's an awesome nickname so I hope they never change it, but if for some reason they had to drop it and I was asked to come up with a new nickname I would suggest Zorros.

Actually, when I was working down there and taking prep football results, apparently there was a real small school down in TJ that fielded a team in the lowest level and they had the nickname.

I think it would work well in an area that has a big Hispanic influence, and the helmet logo could be a scratched out "Z" like the character's mark in the movie. And the character could lend itself well to other logo concepts. I don't know what the copyright issues would be, though.

Actually, when I was a kid, I made up my own football league to make the football board game I had a little more interesting. Some of my favorites: Chicago Rhinos, Philadelphia Americans, Tampa Bay Sea Wolves, Colorado Kodiaks, St. Louis Archers, Seattle Thunderbolts.

 

Atlanta 187 ... rough town.

How 'bout the San Diego Impalas? Nah, not really a muscle car anymore.
