    Worst in sports, in my opinion.

    They're named after a guy who was almost single-handedly responsible for the extinction of the animal represented by their logo and city name...

     

    It's only appropriate if the "Bills" refers to paying the price for season tickets every year.

     

    Of course they were named during less PC times when Custer was thought of as a hero, and kids were wearing coonskin hats. I think the Browns are worse, named after Paul Brown. Bills is better than the Buffalo Ralphs.

    Seriously, that's almost the most irritating team nickname ever. Crunch? I want them to change it to Mintberry Crunch.

     

    Raptors is worse. Slightly.

     

    And this is coming from a guy who is a casual fan of a team that's actually called the Buffalo Bills.

     

    The Crunch name is partially due to the fact that Nestles had a big plant in Fulton, north of Syracuse at the time, and they were a big sponser. It was the winning name of 5 offered in a fan contest.

  3. Here's a more comprehensive look

    Looking from the angle that Kassien had, I don't think he expected Dillon to bend down just as he hit him, so he wasn't looking to intentionally wipe him out. And I think he threw his helmet because he was upset with himself because he knew it was going to cost him. But he's still guilty of not being in control.

  4. I'd be quite interested to watch a game including Luker, Deslauriers and Conacher in place of Ellis, Scott and Kenopka.

     

    Since two players are injured, they'll all play and they just need to sit Scott who played forward yesterday, and Kenopka already was a scratch. Although if it was me I'd sit Leino.
