I wonder when the Browns will get some of these.

I don't think my father-in-law ever got tired of telling Hank Greenberg stories, but I never heard this one from him.

I definitely could.
Washington Couch Potatoes
Frank DeFord commented on the Pigskins name this morning, and he's got quite a response—209 comments so far. This part of the thread proposes an alternative I haven't see discussed yet—Couch Potatoes.
I side with the team owner...however, its not Redskins name that is offensive but the association with indians and their logo. They need to KEEP the redskins name, but change their mascott to a potato. The Redskins can be the patron saint of 50 million Couch Potatoes that watch NFL games. They can even sell redskins at the concession stands at the field...something that just woudn't be right currently. All it takes is a new sticker slapped on the side of the helmets.

The cheerleaders can be called the Hot Potatoes and their stadium can be called the Oven. If you bring your kid to the game, they can pay the Spud ticket price. When the team wins the big game, the owner can can give the Whiteskin speech. This derogatory name game is fun.
Hot Potatoes for the cheerleaders is really good.
