What would you guys name an NFL expansion team in Los Angeles?

I think the L.A. Stars had a nice ring to it, while being somewhat apporopriate for the locale.\n\nHowever, in keeping with the more traditional theme of animals, some that are native to L.A. that would make good team names in my opinion are:\n\nCoyotes\nBobcats\nMountain Lions\nGray Foxes\nRed-Tailed Hawks(shortened to just the L.A. Hawks, perhaps?)\nSea Lions\n\nThere are plenty more on the California Wildlife Center site at the following link, but not many of them would make good team names (The L.A. Striped Skunks, anyone?)  Link:http://www.californiawildlifecenter.org/\n\nIt's worth noting that a couple of these are already used in other pro sports and college teams as well, so they should be plenty suitable for a pro football team.\n\nLastly, if irony is on the new commish's agenda, he can name them the L.A. Temps, since they'll surely move out in a few years anyway...\n\nHope this helps-\n--J.

I would try Halifax in the East, since it would give Atlantic Canada\na taste of a professional franchise. I'm guessing CFL football\nwould be big there, but Halifax isn't exactly a safe city in terms of\ncrime. It can be pretty violent there. Ottawa has the NHL Senators, or should I say Kanata. They have two failed attempts\nin that city already with regards to the CFL. Why should they get a third chance? They are bad as Los Angeles is in the NFL. I\ndon't think the NFL should go back there, because of the insufficient support they got in terms of refurbishing or building stadiums (L.A. Memorial Coliseum is a relic) and fans. I'm all\nfor the CFL going back to a 10 team league to balance the schedule, since Winnipeg is really a Western Canadian city. I'm\nnot so sure if I would want to give Ottawa another go though.\nQuebec City is another option, give the success of the university\nprograms (Laval, Montreal, Concordia) in Quebec. I would like\nto see Victoria also get a franchise at some point. My ideal CFL\nwould have six teams in the West and six in the East.\nThis is my dream CFL in terms of number of teams and location:\nWest: BC(Vancouver), Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatchewan (Regina), Victoria, Winnipeg\nEast: Halifax, Hamilton, Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec City, Toronto\n\nThe round brackets indicate the names of teams with provincial\nnames where they would be located. Saskatoon might work also\nfor Saskatchewan, providing they build a CFL calibre stadium, \nand it is more centrally located in the province than Regina is.

If we are talking CURRENT teams only, then...\n\nHouston Texans\nArizona Cardinals\nJacksonville Jaguars\nNew Orleans Saints\nCleveland Browns\nDetroit Lions\nINDIANAPOLIS Colts

I think that would be the most appealing Teams overall for the fans and for the NFL.

LA doesn't have a team now, but that doesn't mean the it won't have a team for ever.\nmany of the most successful teams we see today, were not in the cities that they represent today.\nnational football is a sport that has a long history and will have a longer future.\nand I think that LA will have a team in time.\nand I suggest calling it:  LA illegal immigrants.

Hopefully these too. The Chargers and the Patriots! Omg! That would be like the Superbowl of the century and probably would be the first teams to go into overtime in the Superbowl! GO LT AND GO BRADY! WOOT WOOT!

There's already been a lot of speculation about a new franchise starting up, or moving to Las Vegas.  While I live in NJ, Las Vegas is the perfect spot for a major league team.  There is a booming population there and they would have plenty of filled seats from hotels buying packages of seats and giving them to their high rollers.  From a business standpoint, it is the best possible option.

I would say the Falcons and the Dolphins. They should be improve next season.

It isnt about the region of LA supporting a team, trust me, there are enough people in that metropolis that would support a team.\n\nActually, UncleDaddy was fairly close in his opening line about "if you build it, they will come."  The biggest problem is the cost to build it.  Not that it would be so expensive in relation to other new stadiums/domes, but that the people are not willing to take the tax burden that other cities have accepted to build the stadium.\n\nIf the fans ever do accept the tax burden (highly unlikely, CA just shot down the Sacramento Kings for new stadium for something like 7th time on recent ballot) then the NFL will quickly act to move or expand a team to LA.

As much as I don't want to say it. I would say the\n Fremont Athletics. If the people of Oakland area do not want to fill the stadiums then the should not keep the name. They changed from K.C. and Philidepha.

Not soon!  Paul Tagliabue, NFL Commisioner is eager to to get a team in L.A. but he will soon retire.\n\nTagliabue has told the 32 team owners that unless a plan for Los Angeles is formulated soon, getting a team back into the nation's second-largest market won't occur by the end of the decade. For now, a six-man committee is handling the issue.
