Because NFL owners are tightarsed American businessmen
who generally have NOT A CLUE what is "cool" or "fun".
All they know is what some aide or consultant tells them,
and most of their aides and consultants are "yes men" just
there to get a piece of the pie.

The smaller franchises run fast and hard on a more gut level;
look at the UFL and the AFL and the names they use. Names
the NFL would be terrified to use. Because some sponsor
somewhere might not be happy and it could cost a million
bucks if that sponsor decides not to stay on board.

Personally, I think I just plain old like teams that use the
world "mud". I think Mudbugs is one of the greatest team
names ever, in any sport. Right up there with the Toledo
Mud Hens!
