Lol. Smoothie King.
I've been reading up on Smoothie King since the rumors started floating around this morning. I had no idea the company had grown as much as it has. Seems like a good get and a strong partner for the Pels.
the Legend has spoken!
Great. First it's the Pelicans. Then we turn the embarrassment of our name and focus that embarrassment on our lovely mascot Mr. Pierre the Pelican. But it's not over, let's just name our arena the smoothie king arena, do you have any idea how that is going to sound? I fully understand why this franchise has been labeled as a joke and is targeted to so much ridicule.
No I'll see you. I never said anything about dropping the only professional sports team that I actually care about. However, as I mentioned before, It is easy to make fun of this franchise for many reasons, reasons that could've been avoided through compromise in which I have no clue existed or not. Do I like getting made fun of for the team I support or do I like seeing espn bash the franchise like they did for the name, mascot, and like they will for the arena name? Of course not, but how do you not get ridiculed when some of these ideas are just bewildering.
Let em ridicule away. We finally have a team on solid financial footing and is no longer being mentioned in relocation threats. Let em have all the fun they want.
wow i semi-nailed this! (by reading twitter first lmao)
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

A football game can't stop hurricanes.
It can't fix levees.
Or rebuild houses.
But it can let a city know...
That it's a city once again.
Welcome back, New Orleans.
I honestly didn't even know what this smoothie king was so anyway, if we get more stable financially, all the better
Yeah exactly. Look back in the thread back to all the people that would change their name and be able to deal with the ridicule for 100 grand. It's not high school, if you're an adult and haven't learned to cope with people picking you apart or making fun of you; then it's time to learn.
I was one that would take the money!!!!!!!!!
At least it's not the "Sleep Train Arena" where fans are put to sleep.
Jesus Christ, Mary and {Mod edit-veiled cursing} Joseph, I said as a whole this franchise gets made fun of for the simple things. They are lame, there's no denying that. But my god, your gonna tell me to grow up and it's time to learn? Bc I said I was getting picked on and am in a corner crying? Get the FO. Go babble somewhere else will all that. Picking me apart hahaha, I would like to see half the people on this board "pick me apart". Don't get too carried away.
And that through simple compromise these problems could be changed bc it's clear that one individual is making most of the decisions. When you question man why do the pelicans get made fun of or why are we such easy targets, I said why exactly that is so and that there was prob never any talk about disagreement bc it was already set in stone. The only thing that affects my responses that are non basketball related responses are when somebody makes a stupid comment like yours, I'll respond back.
The name sucks, where do we cash the checks?
