#11 - Your team name and logo were developed to shamelessly cash-in on the short-lived dinomania fad of the mid-1990s.

molafson: Not anymore. The real #11 should be: "Your team is not the Los Angeles Lakers." I take no satisfaction in this fact, but it is a fact.

#12 - Your team has Chris Webber on it.

#13 - Your coach is a pot-smoking drunk who wouldn't know how to draft a defensive play that would stop Halle Barry's mad penetration skills.

Toronto's basketball team will now be known as the Toronto Shreks. Nice. I was thinking more along the lines of the "Toronto School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry" or the "Toronto Mean Girls."

You may joke, but our baseball team has been all-but-officially renamed in the hopes of selling more merchandise.

Nope. Toronto. Proud home of the (formerly Blue) Jays.

did they officially do a rename of the team? is it kind of how TB is now just the D-Rays, removing the ever evil "devil" word.

Nope. Toronto. Proud home of the (formerly Blue) Jays. Oh, okay. I thought they changed the name of the team to "Rogers Blue Jays Baseball presented by GM Canada."
