Do you think that if the Yankees moves to Las Vegas for instance that the Las Vegas Yankees makes any sense or carries any cachet? Do you think art modell really cared that he had to call his team something else. He didnt care if it was the browns or the ravens...all he cared about was that the team he owned won to SBs.

I don't disagree, but I bet most people don't care/know why the LA basketball team is called the Lakers.  Actually, the NBA is the biggest offender because NOTHING can top the absurdity of the Utah Jazz.
