A Step-by-Step Look at Pardon My Take’s Selections to Name the New Premier Lacrosse League Club
If you tuned into Wednesday’s Pardon My Take, you heard Breaking Moos with Premier Lacrosse League co-founder and player Paul Rabil: the league is expanding to a seventh club in the upcoming 2020 season. Part two of this historic news break was discussed on today’s show, and that was Mr. Cat, Mr. Commenter, and Hank’s responsibility to choose the name of the new club. Here is how that process went down:
Mr. Cat: Is there anything specific that you’re looking for? A sound? An animal? Do you want, like, no names that start with Z? Can we do zebras?
Paul Rabil: We like to think about animals. We like to think about time and space or moments. Chaos, for example. Whipsnakes are very different. No cities. Chiladelphia Beagles are out.
So, once Mr. Rabil laid down the ground rules, it was time to get the brains churning for Mr. Cat, Mr. Commenter, and Hank. Below are some of their proposals that didn’t quite make the cut. Which ones got robbed?

Hank: Watermelons, Orange Peels, Eruption, Marvel, Tacos, Swans, Western Lowland Gorillas,
Mr. Commenter: Hot Dogs, Mad Dog 2020, Rain City Jacks, Redskins, Pipers, Hanks, Bet On This Team, Aardvarks, Jordan Brand, Spoiled Brats, Husky, Blakes, Boats, Goal Rillas, Pillow Fighters
Mr. Cat: Dogs, Vine Stars, Pipefitters, Wesley Pipes, Cheddar, Stinky Cheese, Pigeons, Chadwicks, Whiz, Water Beasts, Zig Zags, Web Spinners, Boops, Turf Dogs, Harambes, Heat Check, Greyhounds
Luckily, there were some club names that Rabil seemed to like. Now, since there is a whole legal mumbo jumbo process that has to be done before the club can officially be named, it would have been tough to officially lock in one name. If that was the case and it got denied by the legal folks, that wouldn’t have been good. So, the group came up with a short list of potential names, and that leaves us with the following:
Grit
Phenom
Stones
Wave Dogs
Fire Salamanders
Mud Puppies
Bolts
Will one of these seven names be the next official name of the seventh PLL club in 2020 (that Pardon My Take will have a piece of ownership of)? Nothing to do now but wait and see. What’s your favorite pick for the future PLL squad?
