Your parents probably kept telling you there was a Santa Claus and Tooth Fairy as well, I'll bet.

Probably more than he'd make in CFL?
On a side note was listening to some radio show on Friday and they were talking about Elk and Eagles as names. I really think that if they do it right they could end up with a logo that would look pretty cool and something that I probably wouldn't mind wearing as an everyday type of shirt.
Now would they actually go ahead and make something cool like the Capitals screaming Eagle jersey? Something with an Eagle holding onto a ball?
Probably not

I'll take the "Eagles" over the others. The rest are embarrassing. While the Albany Empire is set to join the IFL (arena league football) without anyone getting wise about it. The EE president, board of nine and their stinking sponsors are responsible for this BS.

Isn’t the point of picking a name that starts with an “E” so they don’t need to change the logo?

Or scrounging in a parking lot like gulls.
How scary is that? It’s bad enough when it’s pidgeons swarming like that.
The same lady whose voice is in the video had an adult and immature eagle hanging around her back door. That was a few years ago. Not sure if they're still there.

An actual stream? Or the stream you create from drinking too much beer?

Elkabobs has a really nice ring to it
Gandelf nachos MMM mmmm
Elk burgers, I've had that before, pair it with a well flavoured/seasoned poutine and you're having a party in your mouth.
Someone needs to open an Elk based restaurant, I'd be the number one customer

Thanks for a fascinating post.
Male elks are terrifying in rutting season, that's for sure--scarier than a grizzly if you ask any hunter.
According to wiki, a group of elk is referred to as a "gang" in the same way that a group of rhinos is called a "crash".
I guess "gang" is ok when you consider tackling. I like the announcer saying " the Edmonton gang move in for the tackle" so maybe the team will be simply referred to as the Edmonton Gang in the same way that the St. Louis Cardinals are often referred to as the "red birds" or simply the "cards". The adopted nickname is often a derivative of the original nickname. "The Elk move in for the tackle" just doesn't work for me.
I much prefer eagles to elk(s)? but I guess its time to get on with it. The real question is whether Eskimo fans will ever return in sufficient numbers to have the club survive. I wonder if the public model can still work or whether the Oilers have to backstop the club the same way that the Flames backstop the Stampeders.
