The team doesn't own the term Pelicans. They can't. They can own "New Orleans Pelicans"

What Ozzy is saying, is that the team won't give them credentials if they brand themselves as being "Pelicans" or something. I can maybe get that. But the name they chose is really bad. Like really really bad. I can understand that they are an ESPN affiliate and not a fan site. But still have something to do with basketball in the title.

NOLA HOOPS 247
Crescent City Hopps 247

I don't understand why they picked the street known as a tourist trap.

If i just saw the name of the site, I would think it had to do with Bars downtown.

Sadly it sounds like they put a good bit of money into this horrible name.

also when you google the name, the first eight responses are about shootings on Bourbon Street. So they have that old Washington Bullets thing going for them.

I can get it is your baby 42, but you guys picked a bad name.

Not too much money. Like 2 figures.

Of course when you use google on the name of the site you don't get the site . . . it's new.

if you knew the name, you'd just go to it.

if you google new orleans pelicans blog, in time, it will show up strongly. for now, hornets247 shows up and pushes one to the new site.

As far as something known to be a tourist trap . . . so it's known.

About it being my baby: I said it in the other post just now, but people liking the name is really not important to me. I'm just discussing, telling the why's, adding in other considerations.

You will never see me tell you what you need to like.

If someone dismisses some good points made on a site because they don't like the name, that's their right.
