Last time I checked, jaguars were not native to Florida (we do have the Florida Panther, but the Carolinas done stole that name) so I propose this new name for their team --

Mmm, the sweet sweet odor of industrial-scale of boiled cabbage.

Thank you for doing this sort of intense, focused, difficult thinking, so the rest of us don't have to.

I'm here for you, Deb.

Omaha actually had a professional indoor football team called the Omaha Beef. Might still have. I am trying desperately to forget what the cheerleaders were called.

...oh, all right, I believe they were the Patties.

Sigh.

Ugh.

I'm quite biased, but I think the Buccaneers have the best-named cheerleaders, for they are the Swashbucklers.

Don't you have get tired of the "walking my plank" jokes?

Since yours is the first I've heard, no, not really.

I live in the DC area and am therefore a Redskins fan (yes, pray for me), but I concur with those who lambaste the team for its name, which reeks of cultural insensitivity, at best, and racism at worst. My solution would be that if they want to keep the name, they should change the mascot to ... a redskin potato!

As vegetables are unlikely to be offended by mascot status, I think it's the perfect solution. And we could reuse the fight song:

Hail to the Redskins!
Hail Victory!
Spuds on the menu!
Fight for old D.C.!
Peel or dice or slice -- we want a lot more!
Mash'em, fry 'em,
Scalloped! -- Let the carbs soar!
Fight on, fight on 'til you have won
Sons of Wash-ing-ton. Rah!, Rah!, Rah!
Hail to the Redskins!
Hail Victory!
Spuds on the menu!
Fight for old D.C.!

Also the perfect mascot for those of us fans who are couch potatoes!

I like the way you think!
