A coupla weeks ago, coming home from work, Rob & I were listening to KOMP's Minute with the Mayor & Goodman was saying how he'd like to get an NFL franchise for Las Vegas. We all know that probably isn't going to happen, simply because it's too easy to corrupt a football player or coach... all that easy access to women, money, and betting...
Anyway, I was thinking. If we did end up w/an NFL franchise, what would they call it? Would we name it after our state's industries? The Las Vegas Miners, maybe? Yeah, it's got an ok ring to it, I guess. I think it's a little too close to the 49er's though. Maybe some indigenous wildlife? Baltimore's already got the Ravens, so maybe the Las Vegas Scorpions? Las Vegas Rattlesnakes? That one could work, but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. How about Las Vegas Panhandlers - that should sit well w/Mayor Goodman, huh?
But no, it finally occurred to me in the shower. When people think of Las Vegas, they think of the neon, the lights, the casinos - they think of the Strip, of course.
So our NFL team should be called (drumroll please) the Las Vegas Strippers!
Wow. Just imagine the cheerleaders!
