A critically engaging exercise in pointless tedium.

Loved both the baseball and hockey name comments! One note, though: Does anyone else get a visual of Wile E. Coyote going “SPLAT” after a 20 second free fall off a cliff when mentioning the name Phoenix Coyotes?

I’m thinking, since you’ve done MLB and NHL and Dad did the NFL, i’ll have to tackle the NBA. One note on the NHL ones – it has always bugged me when teams have a singular noun (or an adjective, in the case of the Wild), so the Avalanche would have been lower on my list. Sure, it’s a decent name and all, but it just bugs me. So Orlando and Miami will be docked points for this. Utah has its own reasons for being docked.

@Don (a.k.a. Dad): Heh, I never really made the Wile E. Coyote connection before. Although I certainly will from now on, so thanks for that.
@scott: Yeah, but would you really rather it be the Colorado Avalanches? Because that’s just awful. And you certainly should tackle the NBA; I was thinking about doing college football but that’s so daunting. There is some really good stuff there to mock, however. Demon Deacons? Boilermakers? Priceless in stupidity. Maybe if I went one conference at a time, or split it up with another
