The NBA's been trying to find a new owner for that franchise for quite sometime. I wonder if Tom Benson will do the "Benson Boogie" like he's done for the Saints down there when they win.

Considering the Saints win more often, it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm glad they found a real owner. League ownership, for a long period of time, is very Bush League.

The NHL has owned the Coyotes for three years now, and no one's more bush-league than the NHL.

Didn't baseball own the Expos for a while? I think that's who I was taking a shot at.

Apparently he wants to rename the franchise from "hornets," which could leave the Bobcats in a position to go back to their former moniker. Their 11 remaining fans are already dusting off their Muggsy Bogues jerseys in anticipation.

I wonder if he's going to go w/ the Black & Gold combo for the team colors? I doubt the NFL will be a'ight w/ him naming them the Saints, if that's what he has in mind.

How about a three way name change.

Charlotte gets the Hornets name
New Orleans gets the Jazz name
Utah gets ~2 mil from each team
Utah changes their team name to the Utah White Bread
