Here's a screen shot from the video:

It's mildly amusing.
Regarding the movie Remember the Titans:cindy.wellman wrote:You did remind me that I need to go watch, "Remember the Titans" We bought the DVD, but somehow I missed watching it. I know it is about a sports team, but unlike most people here, I have no idea what it is about. My daughter's school has the giant posters plastered in several places around the school, and they comment about it regularly on their website, etc. DD has a list of Titan traits that they are supposed to emulate. LOL. I need to re-read that list.
Not all titans are incestuous cannibals, but The Titans (of old) were, indeed.and all Titans are incestuous cannibals.
I watched it. All I saw was a video by some t.u. chick who likes to simulate sex with her Barbie dolls. Not suprising given her choice for college has a mascot that is a castrated, drugged up piece of leather.peacock2121 wrote:Don't let BiT watch the video. His head might explode.
If you let him - make sure he has his helmet on.
That's because they were originally the New Orleans Jazz. To me, the Lakers are worse because they were originally from Minnesota and the name made sense - in LA not so much.elwoodblues wrote:They could not keep the nickname Oilers because the only person who ever found oil in Tennessee was Jed Clampett.
I still think the worst nickname in sports is Utah Jazz.

Utah Wasps
Yup -- I tend to hate any team name that's not a plural (Heat, Jazz, Liberty, whatever)! Ugh, they just grate on the earselwoodblues wrote:They could not keep the nickname Oilers because the only person who ever found oil in Tennessee was Jed Clampett.

Titans isn't that bad, its odd that they would choose a name that had been used already by a pro football team, The NY Jets.
Toronto Blue Jays is pretty bad, I've got Blue Jays flying all over my yard, I've got to be at least 500 miles from Toronto.
Montreal Expos? I understand whats behind the name, but come on, it's still bad. Fortunately The Expos don't exist anymore.
Locally St Johns used to be known as the Red Men, but someone decided that it wasn't PC and they changed the name to the Red Storm. Red Storm, what does that even mean?
Just having fun.starfish1113 wrote:Steph, I don't buy all of your arguments, but the column AND the video made me laugh out loud. I also like that you respond to the folks who provide comments (well, at least to the ones that are well thought out and insightful; the flamethrowers deserve to be ignored!).
