After the most quiet, most non-traditional Thanksgiving we ever 'celebrated' (I'm using this term loosely) (see previous blog for details), a recuperating Richard and I spent this dreary, bone-chilling, rainy Sunday watching football; really dull football. My sense is the players ate too much tryptophan-rich food on Thursday.
It occured to me today how much more 'comforting' it would be if our teams were named after our favorite foods. We wouldn't have that pesky political correctness to think about, either. Initially, I thought of using the team name initial to begin the name of the food, like the Baltimore Raviolis. That would still work for some teams like the Cincinnati Bagels, the Philadelphia Eggplant Parmesans, the Chicago Bear Claws, and the New England Puff Pastries, but I really wanted to work in macaroni and cheese and am having a hard time coming up with a team starting with 'M.' (Is there some city with 'Mavericks' or 'Muttons'?) Granted, the San Diego Cheesecakes probably doesn't have the power that the San Diego Chargers has, but I think this could really catch on! I'd go to see the Washington Risotto's with Wild Mushrooms, wouldn't you?

Oh man, Kathy. You are too funny for words. I really needed that 'laugh out loud' I just got from reading this post.
The Washington Redskins could keep their name and just put a potato on the side of their helmet.
Very funny concept!! How about the Minnesota Macaroni's? That sounds much cozier than the Vikings!!
