America's NBA Team: NOOCH!
This image was lost some time after publication. Even though we still hadn't quite gotten used to not calling them the Charlotte Hornets anyway, the New Orleans Hornets have now officially changed their name again.
The NBA announced yesterday that, because of Hurricane Katrina, the team will play 35 of its games this year in Oklahoma City which now, deep breath here, officially makes them the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets, or, as we like to call it, NOOCH.
Please, PLEASE let them put that on the front of their jerseys.
