Just heard on WFAN that the NJ Nets, in the infinite wisdom of their
infantile board of directors, have decided to change their moniker from
"Nets" to............"Swamp-Dragons".....that's right...."Swamp-Dragons".
can't wait to see the logo.

OK, I got some flames on my appraisal of P.J. in the Nets organization.
Yes, he's a good hard-working player, but unless Childs and Hammer
continue playing like allstars, we're going to need some more scoring.
Completely unrelated topic. I heard, perhaps this Summer, that the
Nets were trying to get their name changed to something like the
Swamp Dragons, and that it was going to happen next year. The rationale
was that a cooler name would attract more fans. I personally think it's
a stupid idea. If we're going to change it, change it to the Devils, and
then change the Giants to the Devils also. Hey the Great Swamp is a great
place to go mucking about, but NJ already has an overinflated reputation
as being a hazardous waste dump.

So what's the scoop? Is the name changing?

Last season they had petitioned the NBA to change the name and
received permission, but didn't do it anyway.  Governor Whitman's
office asked them not to use "Swamp" Dragons for basically the same
reasons you gave, and the Nets agreed.  They changed their plans to
Fire Dragons, but never went through with it.

Actually, I kind of like Swamp Dragons.  Fire Dragons sounds too much
like they're trying to be cool and failing.  The "Meadow"lands IS a
swamp for crying out loud!  Don't deny it, revel in it!  The Nets
could be the tough guys from the Swamp.  I think the attitude could
work, and could sell some jerseys.

Oh well, just my two cents.  I'm sure the governor's vote counts for
more than mine.

 Howdy all
 Just me again tellin you of the latest news out of Chicago, the
gaming capital of the world. Not turned on as of 9pm or so late nite
is NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC by Midway. It's the latest brainchild from
the outstanding Mark Turmell, maker of the NBA Jam and Blitz. I can't
say much about it as I haven't had the chance to look/play it yet but
the controls are identical to Jam and Blitz with your standard
joystick, turbo and 2 other buttons, prolly jump/pass and
shoot/something. Anyways, I'll be swinging by the arcade to (if the
wooooman allows) and I'll post tonite my first impressions of this
game. Suffice to say, it's 1 of 2 games I've been looking forward to
in 1999. Showtime and Tekken 4. They can't be far away now. Ciao!
