Name games
Here's a good editorial in an Oregon newspaper proposing the Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz switch names so as to better reflect their hometowns.
In Washington, we have our own NBA name problem, created when the Washington Bullets became the Wizards -- some PC jerks decided the old name hit too close to home.
No matter the justification, the new name just doesn't work. What we need is a more realistic name, but one that's inspiring and appropriate to the area.
What says "support the troops" and "we never win" better than the Washington Generals?
