Re: LA Catchers

Not sure we want to associate with "catching". Might as well be the LA Reach-Arounds.

These are the worst names I've ever heard of in my entire life, especially the LA Monsoon (LA doesn't feel the effect of the American Southwest Monsoon season). Out of these, the best would be "L Pride", which is misspelled and sucks.

The LA team (hopefully it comes to fruition sooner rather than later) should have a name that has to do with the ocean. I'd pick the Los Angeles Riders or Los Angeles Catchers (ride/catch a wave, or catching fish off the docks or catching abalone) or I'd pick an oceanic species name, like the whales... Los Angeles Whales would be awesome. There are no "whale" mascots in all of pro sports, even though whales are possibly the greatest/most interesting/coolest spiecies of animal on the planet (plus the double meaning of "whale" being a big-time gambler... we all know how LA peeps love going to Las Vegas or LA area casinos.)

The LA Whales..lol. That's even worse. The Miami Dolphins works because at least they have history.

Oh and you misspelled species.

JDR: Behold. The Colorado Mammoth.

We don't exactly see that white stuff in L.A. during winter, right?

[Echo Park]

I'll show you some white stuff, JDRCRASH.

[JDRCRASH]

Meh, I think i'll pass.

Are you associating 'mammoth' with the ski resort or something?

[PHX31]

Thanks for pointing out my misspelling of "species", threehundred. Good catch.

I didn't point out your misspelling for the sake of pointing it out... I was ironically pointing out that the best name out of all of them would be one that was misspelled.

The worst names in all of sports are the non --s names like "Pride" "Mammoth" "Heat" "Thunder", etc.

How does "Whales" suck? Cool animal, gaming/gambling ties, strong/powerful/top of the food chain.

Eh, whatever.

No, I'm referring to the fact that Colorado is at a much higher elevation, and receives much more ft (yes, FEET) of snow than Los Angeles.

Also, Mammoths of course lived in subzero climates during the Ice Age.

The NBA for example only has 4 teams without an s at the end. And they are all good names (sans the OKC Thunder). Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic, Miami Heat. Though the Hornets and the Jazz should swap. Other leagues should take note. Btw..I love some of the names of MLS. New England Revolution, D.C. United, Dallas FC, Real Salt Lake. Totally unlike anything seen in other sports leagues. Which is why when (if) LA gets a football team, they should do something original. Even though there is a strong chance of us getting stuck with (Earth)quakes, Tremors, Fire or something.

Although the LA Magnitude does sound dope.

[krudmonk]

False. "Earthquakes" is the best name in MLS.

Maybe you should educate yoruself a little better and go to the La Brea Tarpits . . . one of the world's richest Ice Age digs . . . in the middle of the City of Los Angeles.

You're right, it doesn't make sense at all. What would Mammoth have to do with Los Angeles?

[pizzaguy]

Any team name that doesn't end with an "s" is fucking retarded.

That still doesn't explain why the name still doesn't seem to fit.

nice dodge.

[JDRCRASH]

What dodge? My arguement? It's pretty clear that when you say "nice dodge", you were trying to attack me, so nice try.

Besides, I didn't say that they didn't live in Los Angeles. But Los Angeles was a much colder climate 10,000 years ago. Do you honestly think that when people think of L.A., they're gonna think of Mammoths?! You can often act like such a .
