So Tampa Bay has finally exorcised themselves and dropped the cursed "Devil" from their name. Losing the intimidation linked to the one creature capable of offing the late great Steve Irwin, they are now named after a geometric figure:
Scary Ain't it?
Well that got us thinking, what if other teams get inspired by the brevity going on, and shorten their own name? It worked for Prince. What could happen? Maybe this:
-Washington RedSkins drop the "Red" from their name, go only by 'Skins. Meaning of course, they play with no shirts on.
-Philadelphia 76ers decide 76 is too high of a number, finish season as the Philadelphia 14s
-Portland Trail Blazers are now simply called Blazers, wear "business casual" uniforms.
-Randall Gay decides to go by one name. He picks Gay. It was a 50-50 shot.
-M. Night Shyamalan shortens his name to avoid confusion. He will now go by "that douche who made signs"
-Charlotte Bobcats, fearing action from PETA, drop "cats". The Bobs represent the everyman.
-Hofstra University Flying Dutchmen change names to Hofstra Dutch Oven. No one goes to home Basketball games.
-South Carolina GameCocks shorten their name to just "Game." Wasn't expecting that.
-New Jersey Devils also see the problem with "Devil" but really have no choice.
-Tennessee Titans drop unnecessary letters, are called the "Tits." Trade Vince Young for four Cheerleaders, a team masseuse, and a sideline reporter to be named later.
-University of Las Vegas change from "Runnin' Rebels" to "Runnin' Train." Fucking right.
