OIlers were one of my favorite teams when I was a kid.

Some of the team names don't even make sense.  I doubt there are many cardinals flying around in Arizona.

Which is why one sports writer suggested they be called the "Arizona Cactus Wrens".

In the NBA you have the Memphis Grizzlies.  You know why?

They were originally the Vancouver Grizzlies, an expansion team.  I guess attendance was low, so after a few years they moved to Memphis.  That's a lot further away from Grizzly Bear territory.

Fun fact: Neil Diamond was a Dodgers fan, so he never participated in the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. As such, he has no issues with the Red Sox singing his "Sweet Caroline" during games.

Also fun fact: The Dodgers' owner was wanting a stadium with better transportation connections because he was having trouble selling out games. He was looking at a site in Queens, but chose instead to have the town of Brooklyn condemn land and then sell it to him so he could build a stadium. They told him, "Hey, you got money, why don't you buy it yourself?" So the owner went into talks with LA, which *was* willing to condemn land and hand it over to the owner.

But the baseball league wanted there to be another California team, so the Dodgers' owner convinced the NY Giants' owner to move with him, and that's how we got the LA Dodgers and the SF Giants.

Then, after that, the baseball league felt that another NY team was warranted and so they created the Mets.

And now I got "Sweet Caroline (Da Da Daaaaah)" stuck in my head, which isn't all that bad, really.

Back to the title of this thread, it appears that the U.K. may finally be waking up.  I just hope it is not too late for them.
