Re: Report: Hornets becoming Pelicans
I know that back in the day there was the New York Yankees and New York Giants in both football and baseball, why couldn't the basketball team in New Orleans be the Saints too? Is there a rule against it?

Re: Report: Hornets becoming Pelicans
no rule against dual naming, esp. when the owner is the same guy.
New Orleans Basketball Saints.... just like they used to say St. Louis Football Cardinals... |

Voodoo all the way. Agreed that such a cool name is wasted on an Arena team...
