What's in a Name

For tonight’s softball season opener, you may have noticed the 4Q team listed as “Swanburg’s Team” but rest assured that such is not the case.
A law league team is nothing without a good name. Ideally, the name encompasses a legal concept, a statement of athletic prowess, an overt sexual innuendo, an inside joke and a catchy slogan. This seasons’ team name roster includes:

1) Attractive Nuisance
2) Ex Parte In My Pants
3) 28 Strutters
4) The Bush Leaguers
5) Tortfeasers
6) Team Willis
7) Ghetto Revival
8) And my team . . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . Team Malpractice

In case you’re wondering, this is how a name is born via e-mails:

Britt: “Our softball team name is "Team Swanburg"? That's even worse than "Werebears" or "Mere Economic Harm.”
Me: . . . I am a very modest person; the team name makes me blush, so let's come up with a new one. Here are some options: (1) Team Malpractice; (2) Team Slip and Fall; (3) Short-Bus Jockeys.
Britt: I like "Team Malpractice" because it lets us give a forks down "M" gang sign. For those of you who did not grow up in the hood, I'll show you after Bus Org.
Me: I too like team Malpractice for several reasons: (1) Malpractice refers to fucking up and not performing to a reasonable standard; (2) It sounds good -- Team Malpractice: Our Drinking Team has a Softball Problem; (3) You can flip the dub upside down and rep it while the ball hits you in the face.
Haley: I support team malpractice...especially for point number (3).
Bell: Team Slip and Fall is what most accurately describes our athletic ability as a whole.
Haley: Well hell, why don’t we just combine "team malpractice" and "team slip and fall" and make it "team dumb clumsy fucks"?
Thomas: I like the name Haley proposed or what about "the incapacitated persons"? That’s fairly all encompassing for our team considering it applies to BOTH the habitually drunk AND the incompetent.
Me: Yes but instead of flashing the upside down dub, we'd have to strum our lips making motor boat noises and nobody wants that.

And that was that.

Tonight at 7, Team Malpractice faces off against the Tortfeasors.

Feel free to describe the derivation of your team name, particularly 28 Stutters. As for “Ex Parte in my Pants” . . . brilliant . . . absolutely brilliant.
