    It amuses me that the Jazz owner(s) have so egregiously held onto a name that truly belongs in The Big Easy and has NO place in Utah ('cause Jazz could lead to dancing!).

    I believe dancing was a Baptist issue, not a Morman issue.

    Ironically (vis-a-vis the New Orleans link) an appropriate, LDS friendly name would be Saints. How 'bout that?

    Sigh. Yes. But if you're shooting for ignorance … Close enough for the sake of humour

    MY supposed ignorance. Thus the: 'cause. And the joke. Damn it's hard aiming around the penumbra of political correctness and humanity's fondness for judging others.


    Wouldn't you think people on this board deserve a least a small benefit of the doubt?

    Pelicans fly together.

    You guys ever see a flock of pelicans flying together in perfect formation? It's beautiful. Pretty awesome they way they all stick together. Pelicans never say die. Ever see a pelican fight? No way. Why? Because the other animals are afraid. They know that if they mess with one pelican, they gotta deal with the whole flock...

    Maybe they should have taken a page out the Notre Dame's playbook and called themselves the Fighting Pelicans!

    Ever see a pelican "surf"? It's pretty cool. They surf the air pressure in front of good surfing waves. Possible better surfers than dolphins. Not that it has anything to do with basketball team naming...

    At least the Nippon Ham Fighters were named after the company “Nippon Ham”
