Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

New Conference Name Suggestions?

I thought I'd throw this out there and see what all you MHH weizenheimers can come up with.
I'll start by suggesting the divided division (redundant?) be named either 1) incongruity or 2) the polartech bikini division.

Avs division would be. . .

Star-divide

I don't know the. . . Rocky Mountain sushi division. That suggestion should at least elicit some amusing mockery.

Wow!. I don't usually grapple with brevity much, but since I do: Fuck the wings!

The 2011 Buffalo Bills - Where we learn that signing a mediocre QB for 50+ Million dollars is just as good an idea as it sounds.
Burgundy Wave - SBnation's home for the Colorado Rapids
Crystal Palace FC - We'll take mid-table, thank you.

And fuck the NHL if they don’t do this (and they won’t, because it’s too hard for the “casual” fan to understand.

Yeah it’s not like the winner of the current western/eastern conference playoffs receives a trophy named after those two. It makes too much sense not to go back to what it was.

they are all conferences

Yeah I thought of that. You could leave the Wales and Campbell things out, or have super conferences if they don’t want to re seed. Which they don’t since I’m sure the prospect of a western team/ western team Cup final terrifies the league brass.

I think after you get a final four you have a Wales final and a Campbell final and just award the trophy there. If a team gets their name on one trophy one season and the next one the following year, so be it.
