    Best/Worst nicknames in sports or otherwise

    In light of the LA Clippers' bench naming themselves A Tribe Called Bench, I was wondering a) what everyone thought of the nickname, and b) what other unusual/terrible ones you've heard before, in the sports world or outside the sports world.

    Is Ellen permabanned or is he/she coming back?
    “I told you, I don’t care if you’re black or white. I don’t care if you’re rich or poor. I don’t care where you come from, whether it’s Texas, Florida, California, or right here in the state of Iowa, I don’t care about any of that… But what I did care about is moving forward from that day on, that we were one team." -Paul Rhoads
