The D-League Has A Draft?

If you can’t be among the 128 names called, it’s off to Latvia my friend.

Has no mascot or nickname. Of course, I refer to the Frisco… where is that again and when will they announce a team name? As Randy Savage used to say, “OOOOH, WHAT A RUSH!!!” I don’t know whether to pull for the Bakersfield Jam, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, the Maine Red Claws, or the Springfield Armor. The worst thing is that it took work narrowing the names down to the four worst I’ve ever seen in professional sports. Also, one of the teams is called the Stampede, which I seem to remember also belonging to an Arena Football League team that folded before the league finally died. At least the D-League’s Stampede is in a different state. That’s awesome!

Frisco, I propose a name since you are looking for one, and if you actually name your team this, I will do something I’ve never done and buy a jersey: the Frisco Chupacabras. Think about it: They’re creepy, reptilian, and they drain the blood out of goats and other livestock; that is, assuming the cryptozoologists are correct and they actually exist. Also, they pose a serious risk of traumatizing children for life. If I were the owner, it would be the name I would choose. I can see it now, “Mommy, what’s a chupacabra?” “Well, Johnny, they’re known as the goatsucker, and they drain the blood out of animals larger than we are. But don’t worry, son; they only go after farm animals.”
