i bought an 11 x 14 inch White Board and felt the irrational need to share something that i wrote on it with a black marker. hmmm, is it possible to get much more racist than that? anyway....

when did Tennessee get a football team, and why is it called the Tititians?
Holy Flapping Boobies Batman!
why aren't they called the Memphis Belle's, or Chattanooga Chew Toys?

did I miss an episode of The Shrinking State? why they naming a football team after a state instead of a city?


GO EAGLES!!!

fluff the egos!

6 of the 32 NFL teams are not named after a city.

Mrford is full of knowledge...

I only count 4

New England
Tennessee
Arizona
Carolina

Perhaps you are referring to the 2 NY teams as the other 2? NY is still a city

giants and jets, technically, do not specify city or state

bah sorry nuke, posted before reading all :)

It's all about them 'boys...

You mean the 2 new York teams that play in new jersey? I'll go with the state not the city on that one. Personal preference I suppose.

google "Houston Oilers" for the answer to your first question

Add:

Minnesota
And can't make out the other and wouldn't be fun if I looked it up ;-)

*keeps thinking*

warshington. but it isn't either state or city, its a.. federal district? not sure if it will count

Detroit used to be a city. Does it count in this list?

True, but then again neither would technically be correct since they aren't even in NY. I think the giants played in NY once upon a time, but I'm not so sure about the jets.

Tampa Bay

Tampa is the city

this never occurred to me. all of their sports teams use tampa bay, so i only ever assumed there was no distinction

and the team plays in maryland if im not mistaken

Tennessee Titans are the Houston Oilers? ahhh, no wonder i quit rooting for the Oilers... i really should pay more attention to this game.
