Ask the investors in the WFL, USFL, XFL, UFL, WUSA, ABL and the dearly departed San Francisco Bulls. How are you going to succeed when you can't even name your teams properly? Hunter Thompson on 'shrooms couldn't have selected a more inane mess of monikers. As an example, take a look back on the local UFL in 2009.
California Redwoods: The Redwoods were a team in the United Football League. They were quickly chain- sawed at AT&T Park, went to San Jose, then were uprooted and relocated to Sacramento as the Mountain Lions. They should have taken on the Golden State Warriors' first nickname, El Dorado. If nothing else the team would have had the coolest team car in all of sport.
Las Vegas Locomotives: The former UFL champs should have never left the station. I would have named them the Rat Pack. Best mascots in the league with the Chairman of the Board, Sammy and Dean--all in the form of cute little rodents. Merchandise sales would have been boffo!
Florida Tuskers: Either the Snowbirds or the Early Bird Specials would have been better. Most of their fans were retirees from the Northeast - they should have kicked off at 4:30. AARP card holders could have been back home by 8 p.m. with their official Early Bird team doggie bag from the concession stands.
New York Sentinels: What the heck is a sentinel? I would have embraced the NYC attitude. Hey, whaddya you lookin at? How about the Fugggedaboutits?
OK, starting a new business is never easy, especially if you're trying to succeed as the owner of a professional sports franchise.
Let's take a trip down Amnesia Lane to the San Francisco Bay Area Professional Sports Hall of Has Beens. My team of researchers has spent weeks looking through sports graveyards to complete the following list for your review, additions and ongoing debate.
