The French Foul Line

Without wading into the debate over the merits of this ridiculous story (click here) , I am proposing a few catchy-kitschy team names of my own:

Les Foie Gras Free Throws
Les Incredible Poutinis

Celine's Heroes

Les Slam Doncs

Les Coups de Coderre

The Alex Quebecs

La Belle Equipe

Sackville Sackers (oops - wrong province)

Les Grandes Allees Hoops


Please vote for your favourite and I will forward the winners to Monsieur Bourassa for his consideration.


Merci beaucoup, K-Deau

I've always been partial to "Les Dépannerds".

Les Slam Doncs, hands down.

Ahhh, so THAT'S where the term "frogs" came from. I thought it was because frogs were small and grumpy. And they chain-smoke.

What I can't believe is that no one caught this in the many focus groups that preceded the unveiling.

Perhaps the problem was that no one knew it was supposed to be a basketball team.

Instead, due to a combination of using Babelfish as a translator and the hunger pangs brought on by a delay in feeding the focus group's, the participants thought "Grenouilles Sautee" was the restaurant from the folks at St. Hubert.

Les Grandes Allees Hoops has my vote. Is it a female basketball team, cause then I have to suggest

"froggies avec de longues jambes"

ALT- brilliant!
JC- thanks for humouring me...

Looks like terrorism has pre-empted K-Komments today. I should have been more sensational...

My child is out of the country without his mother..flew out yesterday..What's the chance of that? Great timing.

On a brighter note, it couldn't be a safer time to fly, RIGHT? I'm not really worried but he will have an ulcer if he hears this before his return flight.

Les Alex Quebecs is fantastic.

I think this will be the name of my Yanni-inspired band.

Dooope... not Yanni, please Chucker, not Yanni.

Well, at least your not stuck on Bobby Vinton.

My neighbor had Bobby blaring last night. Should be wondering about the absence of cabbages in his garden right... about... now.
