I like it. Now instead of saying "247 article" we can say "BS article".

I'm sure 42 knows it's all in fun. They do a great job of covering the team. Based on the actual articles we discuss I'd say they are outperforming their professional local competition.

Bourbon Street sucks

Last time I went to the Goldmine I am pretty sure I got an STD

Although playing Mess Around at the Pat O's piano bar was fun

That's the best name a group of creative, well educated writers could come up with?

It really is cheesy as hell. I can't believe they chose such a lame name, especially given the local contempt for Bourbon Street.

was going to post this last night, but I didn't feel like being "that guy," so thanks for being him.

anyway, i'm surprised they didn't put it up for a vote to their readers.

I appreciate what they do but that name is really really bad. Ew.

And that's where you "messed up" or got it all wrong...

Who picks "Mess Around" over "I Got A Woman" ???

That is terrible.

Despite all of the shite we give McNamara (deservedly), I liked 24/7.

This is the worst name. Period. They need to admit their mistake and change it to Pelican something. Quickly.

I take it you didn't read all the back story.

Supposedly there was some brouhaha about the team not wanting them to include "Pelicans" in the site's name for official team association confusion and whatnot.

That's fine but that name still sucks balls.

Locals don't go to Bourbon Street. It's a shithole. And it's terribly cliche. There are so many more reasons. It is horrendously awful. Just one of the worst names imaginable.

There's some stuff in the article, but not using Pelicans was an issue, as was the price of some great names. So it wasn't the best considered, but the list of choices was short.

I can share if you want to pick through them for some reason.

We made a choice. It's supposed to be fun.

And BS article is part of the fun.

The name, regardless, is not that important.

is it the best name? no, but you know that and explained why it was chosen. sometimes reality is a bitch.

like you say, if the content is good, no one will care. some are just going to complain for the sake of it (see Pelicans). welcome to the internet

cant remember from the article, but will there be a site redesign to go with your rebrand?

This place is named after Tiger excrement and it does well.
