I was wading through the bay as normal and this one caught my eye. I can't imagine playing on that team!!

The University of California Santa Cruz Banana Slugs have to be in the running as do the Healdsburg Prune Packers.

There's an Accident, Maryland (western part of the state), so it could be a town team. (fun that their postal address is Accident MD)

Always thought this would be a SH*T name for a team. Way to much fun for the other team.

Maybe the accident team is made up of players like me, born later in their parents lives, with cruel older brothers born much earlier.

I've always liked Fordham University, given how people always use the initials of the University; UCLA, OSU, UT.......FU

The NHL is going to have a new team in Las Vegas. I recommended The Las Vegas Hookers. Sounds great to me.

True story. The high school teams from my home town were the Pekin "Chinks". Name was changed to the Dragons back in 1981.

Would the team mascot be paid hourly?

In high school we hosted a big wrestling tournament. Always got a kick out of the guys from Martins ferry, Ohio whose singlet said "Ferry"
