    Out of interest for a fictional sports league (and the lack of sports news these days)

    What are some good team names (nicknames, not city names, eg. grizzlies, cavaliers, barons) that aren’t used in the 5 major leagues?

    interesting names that would be plausible for a real league are appreciated (Marshalls, Knights) more than funny names that won’t be used (cunning stunts)

    You know what I heard? That Paul McCartney introduced Yoko Ono to John Lennon as a joke. I heard he hooked up with her on the road, thought she was kind of nashty, and than introduced her to John thinking it would be funny. Well, my theory is that John, a notorious jokester himself, reversed the tables on Paul McCartney. Until the day he died. Remind you of anyone?

    i can see your point with most of those five, although i don’t understand the dolphins as much and i would think that the celtics would be just as bad as the texans as far as names go. what names would you suggest to replace those ones out of interest? i was thinking Hammerheads (the shark) to replace the dolphins

    I dont like the Texans because its so unoriginal. Team names are supposed to be inspiring and tough I dont see anything tough about a Dolphin or Maple Leaf. There are some team names that represent something unique about the city and I like and respect that such as the Minnesota Twins or Dallas Cowboys, but texans is like saying the San Diego Californians, not very original.

    I liked the Texans, because I for one had no idea where Houston was located.

    Maple Leafs get all sticky, and mess up your lawn. Plus, they sometimes cover broken glass, needles and other paraphernalia. During the fall, they provide a constant struggle for Canadian society.

    Have you never heard of the Angel of death? His name is Tom Cruise, guess he makes movies and stuff.

    Dolphins mess up Sharks all of the time! Plus, have you ever seen that Simpsons Halloween special where they take over Springfield? Well, that really happened.

    Ever read "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"? Dehydration is a b-itch! Not to mention the scariness of a bunch of old bearded men on a ship.

    These have to be my 5 favorite team names behind the Ducks.

    In conclusion, what is so scary about a Friar? Riddle me that Senor! 🙂

    Well a Friar is something unique about the university or location.

    According to wikipedia…  "It is the only college or university in North America administered by the Dominican Order of Friars."

    Some preists in Massachusets last year got convicted for milesting children which seems kind of scary to me

    But, anyway, friars are not exactly that scary, outside of touching little kids and their haircuts. Than again, neither are Ducks, but I still love my teams nickname. It is quite yell-able, and I just find it has a certain je-ne c’est quoi (spelling?). Nicknames are whatever you make of them, they do not necessarily have to be scary, but a lot of them are pretty clever and lead to a major unification between fans. Duck fans are incredibly proud, no matter how ridiculous our name may be. Sure the Friars are as well. When I first heard that Toronto (the city I grew up in and live in now) was going to name their team the Raptors, I thought it was unparalleled in stupidity. What in the hell do Raptors have to do with Toronto? Well, over time, it grew on me. It really is about unity and having a good time more than anything.

    I mean, yes, there are awesome team names, but lets analyze a few:

    Boston Red Sox: Oh no, my socks got in with the colored laundry! Yikes!

    Chicago White Sox: Don’t want to get those dirty!

    Los Angeles Dodgers: Twisting your ankle happens when you are playing dodgeball……

    St. Louis Cardinals: Ever go near a bird feeder full of those things? Try not to get pooped on!

    Toronto Blue Jays: Wanted to give the Maple Leafs some company in the "names that do not scare you" club.

    Los Angeles Lakers: Obviously started off in Minneapolis, but it just fits. I mean, it is similar to Mariners.

    Boston Celtics: I mean, Celtic warriors and such, though their mascot is a leprechaun. Guess it you are scared of midgets…..

    Utah Jazz: Damn you, music of improvization!

    New Jersey Nets: You could get tangled in one?

    Orlando Magic: Have done a great job in the past disappearing during the NBA Finals……

    Houston Rockets: They are big and loud, but do you really fight one? I mean, it probably would not be fun to see a rocket fight a Raptor, literally.

    Dallas Mavericks: Sarah Palin is pretty scary, have to give them this one.

    Miami Heat: Heat usually makes you thirsty, and sweaty, hence leading to a lot of BO.

    Phoenix Suns: Can you imagine a bunch of those things in the sky that give us a source of light and burn our skin? Oh, wait, they are called stars.

    Oklahoma City Thunder: You have never heard of Thunder striking anyone. It scares the $hit out of people at times, but not exactly dangerous.

    San Antonio Spurs: Those are so 1860, don’t be caught dead wearing them past labor day. Fashion suicide.

    Los Angeles Clippers: I guess if you have (champion)ship-o-phobia.

    New York Knickerbockers: Ever been in a rain storm without them? Your shoes get soaked!

    Ohio State Buckeyes: They are freaking chest nuts! How they do not get more flack for their nickname, I have no idea.

    UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs: Well, those things are just awesome.

    I could go on, but I think that however silly some of these names are, you kind of take pride in them when you gain a connection to a team.

    Miami Heat: Heat usually makes you thirsty, and sweaty, hence leading to a lot of BO.

    Phoenix Suns: Can you imagine a bunch of those things in the sky that give us a source of light and burn our skin? Oh, wait, they are called stars.

    Oklahoma City Thunder: You have never heard of Thunder striking anyone. It scares the $hit out of people at times, but not exactly dangerous.

    San Antonio Spurs: Those are so 1860, don’t be caught dead wearing them past labor day. Fashion suicide.

    Los Angeles Clippers: I guess if you have (champion)ship-o-phobia.

    New York Knickerbockers: Ever been in a rain storm without them? Your shoes get soaked!

    Ohio State Buckeyes: They are freaking chest nuts! How they do not get more flack for their nickname, I have no idea.

    UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs: Well, those things are just awesome.

    I could go on, but I think that however silly some of these names are, you kind of take pride in them when you gain a connection to a team.

    I actually like Magic, Heat, Suns and Spurs… they have a nice ring with the city and relate to the city well. They are simple and effective.

    Magic because of Disney World

    Heat and Suns because its hot in Florida and Arizona

    Spurs because of Cowboys in Texas

    I love Thunder and Mavericks especially the latter. Thunder also is a very simple solid name and Maverick is an extremely unique name. It has an understated toughness since its a leader like a Trail Blazer which is another name I like

    @providencefriars1. the san diego padres have heritage in friars too.

    @mikeyvthedon. btw, i don’t think there was ever a rule that said team names have to be ‘scary’ i think that it just developed because some teams decided to go with scary names in the past, just because a name isn’t scary doesnt make it bad

    Think you missed the point of my posts on that if you were saying I thought anything close to that. I was just commenting on what Friars had said about the names he had disliked and trying to humourously examine the concept.

    It can indeed be wrong, but you kind of just have to judge what is viable and not. I guess much like any news source. Nonetheless, I agree with you Groves, but I think that in this case it was legit.
