Episode 153 - The Somethings
Hey. Y'know what really grinds my gears? How sports team names are all "The Somethings". Y'know what I mean? The Dodgers, The Lakers, The Giants, The Lions, The Celtics, The Clippers, The Rams, The White Sox, The Red Sox, The Orioles, The Bulls, The Pistons, The Nuggets, The Bobcats, The Kings, The Warriors, The Mets, The Blue Jays, The Yankees, The Padres, The Steelers, The Celestia damned on and on and on and on...
Why's it always gotta be "The Somethings"? Why can't team names ever be more interesting, creative, and unique? Like band names! Bands have so many creative names, many of which aren't just "The Somethings". Names like Queen, Steppenwolf, The Who, Lynyrd Skynrd, ACDC, Kansas, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Aerosmith (yeah, I'm really dating myself. I'm f*ckin' OLD, okay?) Here's a few (slightly) newer band names that I love: Two Steps From Hell, 30 Seconds to Mars, Approaching Nirvana, Metallica, and Linkin' Park. See? Creative, interesting, and not just "The Somethings". Why can't sports teams do that? I mean... I'm not saying that 30 Seconds to Mars would be an appropriate sports team name--it'd be really confusing--but there's a lot you could do besides just "The Somethings". It's a stupid thing to get annoyed about, but it annoys me.
