    Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley will be co-owners of a new Arena Football League team in Southern California.

    The team will be called -- wait for it -- the LA KISS. Of course, they'll be playing at the Honda Center, so they might have to call it the LA KISS of Anaheim.

    Nickname's kinda too obvious for me. I would have preferred the Destroyers, Demons or Black Diamonds. Love Guns probably wouldn't have passed muster for family entertainment.

    I am sure one of their big in-game promotions will be "Cold gin time, again".

    Wonder how good they'll be if all they do is rock and roll all night and party every day ...

    If the KISS score in the last two minutes of the first half, it's Cold Gin time! Half off all gin drinks!

    Gene and Paul are kings of bad investments. This will keep them on the road into their 70s.

    Another thought I had with Gene and Paul as pro sports team owners: If they had owned the Indianapolis Colts, do you think, instead of getting Andrew Luck, they would have drafted some obscure Division III quarterback and made him play wearing Peyton Manning's old jersey.

    LA is all wrong, the KISS team belongs in Detroit Rock City.
