Hate to use this phrase, but "Ditto", on both counts, especially the "Griz'".
I'm still a big fan of "Hound Dogs" for any pro hoops or gridiron team in Memphis, but too many of our local folks are embarrassed by such an idea. It was suggested when Fred Smith and friends were contending to land an NFL team for the city ... which leads me to another, almost-as-silly name, The Tennessee (well, really, Nashville) Titans. Danica ain't "juiced" is she?

The name survived the trip to that hot, dry, concrete place called Los Angeles. The only names more ridiculous are the Utah Jazz. And the Memphis Grizzlies.
