    It looks like Tom Benson will be changing the name of the Hornets to the Pelicans next season. I favor the name change since it reflects the city/state better than the Hornets did. What do you all think about this?

    If people in New Orleans like it then fine, whatever. Now lets see that logo.

    And on the seventh day, God rested. Having created the heavens and the Earth, the seas and all they contain, He ceased all labors. But the seventh day being a Sunday, and with all of His fantasy teams playing, He needed a shortstop. So God created Derek Jeter, and blessed him, and said unto him, be fruitful. And Jeter was good. Jeter held dominion over opposing pitchers (.343 AVG in 2006), was plentiful in power (14 HR and 97 RBIs), and moved over the earth (34 steals) and across home plate (118 runs). And God blessed Jeter, and sanctified him, and said to Roto owners everywhere, make Jeter your No. 1 middle infielder.

    If people in New Orleans like it then fine, whatever. Now lets see that logo.

    It could be worse though, another name Tom Benson was considering calling them was the New Orleans Brass.

    I think it will be interesting to see how they plan on making the Pelican look tough.

    The last intimidating worst not-historically/culturally significant name in sports has got to be the Anaheim Ducks of the NHL.
