Saints likely done in New Orleans, San Antonio is their likely home for 2006. Who knows after that?
  • The city of New Orleans wants to retain the rights to the current logo, colors, etc., in the hopes of attracting a new team - the so-called "Cleveland deal."
  • That seems cool. The San Antonio Saints sounds silly, anyway. (Although not as silly as the NBA's Utah Jazz, another displaced New Orleans team. I suppose if the Saints also move to Utah, they could be The Utah Latter-Day Saints.)
  • The USFL team was called the San Antonio Gunslingers. The WLAF team was the San Antonio RoughRiders. Other Texas-themed names from the world of sports: Broncos, Drovers, Colt 45's, Chapparals, Longhorns, Mavericks, Rattlers, RoadRunners, Scorpions, Outlaws.

  1. At least the Saints would make more sense in Utah than the Jazz. I don't think I've seen any jazz musicians in Salt Lake.
