Kevin W. Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I guess the Saints one is out of date now. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezus_Ghoti Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I feel like I've seen this exact idea executed before and it was much funnier the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimEOBrien Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I feel like I've seen this exact idea executed before and it was much funnier the first time.Page 2 (RIP) did a similar thing last year but they just redid the logos, but teams change. Last year's bronco one was tebow related, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 These weren't clever at all. Very weak effort.

Chawls Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 The (attempted) wisecracks reminded me of this video, which was much funnier:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoTEyxcxHuU Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim.

keynote Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 This is really off-brand for Grantland. They should leave these bad puns and limp jokes to Page 2.EDIT: er, make that "...limp jokes to ESPN Playbook." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Lazy, cheap jokes. And not very funny, either. Unfortunately, about what I'd expect from Grantland. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Best part of the video is the purported Bears fan talking about 1984. More [sic] than you think. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Then they're as bad at negotiating as creating parody logos. Well done. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Imperfect Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Haha these are all pretty good. My favorites have to be Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, New England, New Orleans, and Washington.Redskins is the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Just went over them again. They're every bit as unfunny the second time as they were the first. If anything, 'I'm somehow less amused than I was the first time, when I was not amused at all. This is about what I'd expect from a cartoon page on the Sports eCyclopedia, not an ESPN spin-off (that's what it is, right?)
