OK, this is only tangentially related due to its Walleye reference, but I think this old SatireWire link is hysterical: http://www.satirewire.com/charts/tellbob.shtml

It’s real tough to stickhandle without hands or claws, but only flippy fins. Not to mention skating . . .

So they *will* be the Cleveland Big Green!
(Please tell me someone other than my gf gets that incredibly obscure hockey reference.)

Team name isn't going to mean much in the end. With prices like they are now offering, don't expect Cleveland to last long. Management is definitely deluded here. Glass seats for $60. $9 seats now $20. Its unfortunate because marketed correctly, even in a major league city, AHL hockey could be successful in Cleveland again. They really missed the boat here though. Do you think Joe Average is gonna regularly pluck down $30 for a decent seat to a minor league hockey game? I'm sure opening night will be packed, but by the middle of the season, it's gonna be a sea of empty seats as usual. In the poorest big city in America, they definitely have no idea who their true market is. Looks like they are more concerned with recouping their money from the purchase of their franchise as fast as they can, rather than building up a fanbase and ensuring hockey can ultimately last in the city. Very unfortunate indeed. http://www.myspace.com/saveclevelandhockey

I notice a visor-less Walleye — thought the ‘A’ was mandating those?
