TFO #166: Shyboy Game
Added 2021-12-02 06:38:27 +0000 UTCHayes brings a fun NBA game for the Ones to play, but it's not devious this time, it's nice.
We also looked at:
Choose your thanksgiving table
Giannis' dad jokes are back
Giannis talks oreos

And an all-timer song from Savannah and Jeremy.

2021-12-10 12:57:13 +0000 UTCThe Keizer “Keyser Sözes.” (Or just the Keizer”Sözes”) Keizer is a suburb of Salem, Oregon which is basically just a shopping center. Keizer boasts the only In-N-Out in Oregon and there is a constant line of cars about a mile long which you can see from the I-5 as you pass. So I guess the Keizer “In-N-Outs” could be an alternative- but it also has a Kaiser Permanente so the Keizer “Kaiser permanentes” would also work. Regardless of the name Keyser Söze would have to be the mascot.

2021-12-03 03:59:01 +0000 UTCWe lived in a Minneapolis suburb called Fridley and when my son was born we called him The Fridley Kidley. For secret NBA I think “The Fridley Kids” is great and the logo would be a silhouette of 3 kids hooping.

2021-12-03 02:03:02 +0000 UTCIn honor of Richmond, Virginia’s legendary tobacco industry: The Virginia Slims. Logo is a basketball ripping a cig. The mascot is like a 12 foot tall, extremely skinny cigarette and it lights the top of itself on fire when we win.

2021-12-03 00:13:56 +0000 UTCThe Salt Lake City Stinky Shrimps. The Great Salt Lake is very stinky and full of teeny brine shrimps. Growing up in Salt Lake, the stinky shrimps impacted my life way more than jazz music did.

2021-12-03 00:11:35 +0000 UTCJust realized how much this overlaps with the Baltimore Pinchy Crabs. I assume some will see the similarities as a negative. I'd like to preemptively respond to that criticism with a quote from one Mr. Samuel Clemens: History doesn't repeat itself—but it often rhymes

Sammyfein
2021-12-02 21:04:58 +0000 UTCThe Edmonton Wontons. Now, Edmonton isn't exactly known for its Chinese cuisine or populace BUT it does have a rich Ukrainian heritage. What's a popular Ukrainian dish? Perogies. What are perogies Eastern European analogues to? Wontons. They're basically wontons, just with potatoes instead of pork and shreemps. It's a long road but I also think that it would hopefully have the effect of increasing the amount of places I can get good wontons in Edmonton in order to live up to the name. Finally, the pronunciation of Edmonton (Ed-mun-tun) would have to be gently massaged into Ed-mawn-tawn in order for the name really hit that sweet spot.

2021-12-02 20:36:36 +0000 UTCAnn Arbor Barbers Ann Arbor Lumberjacks (idk...tree adjacent). Ann Arbor is the home of Hash Bash every year, a big stoner gathering/festival type thing. There's gotta be something there, (cheeba hawks?). Although I'm not sure how badly people would want a shirt about that, ha. The Kalamazoo Gals, from the Glenn Miller Orchestra song "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo" (not sure if it's a well known song in general or just in the 'zoo). Kalamazoo is a bigger city than neighboring Battle Creek population-wise! The Kalamazoo Ding-Dongs or Dingalings. Bell's Brewery is from here but the Kalamazoo Bells seems to be encroaching on trademark, plus I, personally, would much rather wear a shirt that says ding dong on it.

2021-12-02 19:44:28 +0000 UTC👏 - though I might just go with the Winston-Salem Salems or the Winston-Salem Winstons or the Winstons & Salems where you have two mascot cigarettes. Can see them doing some good cop, bad cop stuff with fan interactions. (Not from there but my uncle owned a convenience store there for a long time.)
Josh L
2021-12-02 19:39:08 +0000 UTCWinston-Salem is a town that made most of its money from the RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. A potential basketball team for the city could be called the Winston-Salem Spittoons. The mascot is named "Dippy," and it is a brown wad of chewing tobacco with big cartoon eyes.
Ethan Cline
2021-12-02 19:30:37 +0000 UTCThough I live in the OC, I am from Davenport, IA. Hayes will want to wear this shirt for obvious reasons. Davenport is a part of a bigger area called the Quad Cities. When I was growing up, there was a baseball team called the Swing of the Quad Cities their mascot was in fact a baseball bat, which is pretty straightforward. I propose we bring this back for the flagrant ones. The Davenport Swingers, but this time the mascot is a swing.

2021-12-02 18:10:32 +0000 UTCThe Bar Harbor Bar Stools, and the logo is just the Barstool logo. Our SEO would be terrible but we'd probably get some accidental fans.

2021-12-02 16:29:18 +0000 UTCI have three "hometowns" so I have three pitches: The Kanye Wests Based out of the village of Kanye, Botswana, their mascot is Kanye West dressed like he was at the 2021 Met Ball. The Johannesburg Jeans Representing the financial capital of the African continent… a nice pair of relaxed-fit denims, stonewashed for your pleasure. The Vancouver Vegetables Vancouver, Canada finally gets its NBA team back - and this time their mascot is a vegetable. Which kind of vegetable? One of those at a farmer’s market where you’re like “what is this? Maybe I’ll put it in a salad or roast it” and then it turns out it doesn’t really matter how you prepare it, it just tastes like a potato-y radish. That’s the mascot.

2021-12-02 16:27:50 +0000 UTCThe Regina Goose Honks (Regina = small city in Canada. Goose honks = we are seasonally plagued by loud demon geese). Could also be nicknamed the Regina Goose Hunks if there’s hotties on the team 🤷♀️

2021-12-02 13:14:06 +0000 UTCAthens (Ohio) Socrates. The mascot is a guy with a toga and a beard and they spend the whole game in Twitter arguments with fans of the opposing team. If the team wins they get drunk and have sex with one of the players.
