"The Los Angeles Ducks of Mighty Anaheim in Orange County"
Why do teams in Anaheim constantly change their names?"Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and your going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down." -- Edward Blume -

They are dropping the "Mighty" because it is misleading. It really should be the "Pathetic Ducks".Comment

Hilarious, Tampa Bay. Hilarious.
Oh.
They're serious.
I mean, if anyone is getting slighted, it's Ol Scratch himself. He can't be happy with that association.
"When they liked something we did, they would refer to us as the Rays. If they were discussing a complaint or gripe, we were the Devil Rays"
Fact: The team has made roughly 2 good decisions during their entire existence.
Fact: Rays is uttered around TB not because of anything the team does. 10 times out of 10 times people are refering to either the Sun or a weekend of hookers & 8-balls with Liotta & Lewis.
"he said there was a need for dramatic change. One way for dramatic change is to change the name"
Yeah. Another might be to field a team that can win games. Don't give me that "name" s***. The g*******d Marlins have won 2 World Series. The Devil, errr, *Rays* have a record of 518-775. Their best season was 70-91. If they'd been named Jesus & the Apostles or Bingo Long's Travelling All-Stars, their record would still be the same.
And a dramatic name change would be to rename the team The Nazis. Mongol Horde. Runnin' Rapists. Deputy Dog & the Hard Drinking Soldiers of Fortune. Not just going from Devil Rays to Rays."Foyt's mere presence is a punch in the face, an inoculation against milquestoast corporatism. There wasn't a car anywhere anyhow anytime that Foyt wouldn't put the boot to, and there hasn't been a race devised he couldn't win."

This is the sort of thing you get when you listen to "focus groups" too reverently.
Change the initial vowel in the word "focus" to match the secondary vowel and you'll get an idea of what I think of "focus groups". I've had jobs eliminated because of "focus groups."You've worked so hard on the kidney. Very special -- the kidney has a very special place in the heart. It's an incredible thing. Donald John Trump

I remember years ago, when Memphis was trying to land an NFL expansion team, they wanted to call it the Hound Dogs...
So in the spirit of this thread, today they'd be the Los Angeles Hound Dog Devil Ducks of Anaheim in St. Petersburg.
