Wimpy Names For NFL Teams

[MainerMikeBrown]

I always thought it was odd that the NFL's Arizona team is named the Cardinals. It's no name for a football team!

A cardinal is just a little bird. They're not exactly scary animals, not like a bear or a lion.

Football teams should have a tough guy, macho name. But whoever gave this team the name Cardinals didn't see it that way, however.

Maybe they're named after the members of the catholic clergy who rank above bishops?

Child abuse is way more damaging than a lion

I will watch it if forced... and I can enjoy it. It just gets kind of... boring for me. I'd rather watch a movie.

I'm a geek. I have no expectations on being cool. I am, however, awesome.

A dolphin isn't the most macho name for a team either. But at least it's a large animal. But a cardinal?
