It's only a matter of time before they leave LA, just like the Raiders and Al Davis........

The choices on the poll suck, but Vipers is ok. Riots is great but wouldn't happen. Another that came to mind was "Flash".

Los Angeles Wraiths 
(pronounced rāths)
- Means "ghost or spectre". Also means guardian or more generally a mysterious being to be feared.
- Has a bit more bite to it that most lame names like the Cougers or Wildcats. That fits LA imo.
- Beginning sounds like past LA football teams (Rams and Raiders) so it rolls off the tongue
- Initials spell out LAW
Cue The Clash! "I fought the LAW and the LAW won!"

I thought L.A Cougars sounded fitting.

No but I just read the plot summary. Sounds like a 'classic' 80's flick...how could a movie with Charlie Sheen, Randy Quaid, and Nick Cassavetes not be classic?
NIGHTHAWKS is solid. perfect name for those party animals. Stay up late...wake up late. Gotta love the LA lifestyle. Barons isn't too bad either. Royalty for the snobbish la types. I could live with either one of these names. Sign me up. #1 Los Angeles Nighthawks/Barons fan.
Mascot is a dark blue or black bird. Something similar to the falcons logo, but not an exact replica. Maybe something closer to the phx suns logo.
Im not fond of extreme type names. Dynamo, Tempest, Renegades, Rampage, etc...

although 'after parties' do take place, when last call happens at 1:30 for the most part, most of the last part of the night is spent running to a liquor store to get more booze to make it through the night.my experiences in LA over the last 5+ years, I'd go with:LA Jam (for the traffic)LA Flash (for the annoying papparazzi)LA Raza (for all my ese's)LA Aint gonna happenNot bad seeing it typed out. Nice mascot, Good old bull charging at you. Bulls name would be "Hollywood"!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA

That only applies to Bengals fans.although 'after parties' do take place, when last call happens at 1:30 for the most part, most of the last part of the night is spent running to a liquor store to get more booze to make it through the night.

Extremely minor observation, but I've never really noticed until just now that every current NFL team name is plural.

Talk about a blast from the past. The friggin Wraith with Charlie Sheen is one of the greatly overlooked cheezy 80s movie. I probably saw it 20 times on HBO when I was a kid. And of course now for the life of me I can't recall anything about it. All I remember is he is somekind of ghost dirtbike rider or something. God I loved the 80s.As someone who lives in LA (and believe me , we love reading everyone dump on LA, keep it up -- the more people you can discourage from moving here the betterDid you ever see the move, "The Wraith"?Los Angeles Wraiths

) I def. think the name should have from some sort of Mexican/Latin influence. Would make sense. Plus, it would drive people on talk radio crazy ("They took 'ur jobs!") which is always nice.Matadors was a good suggestion. To that end, I think Toreros (Spanish for bullfighter) would be pretty sweet. Or just plain Toros would work too.

Here's a fun bit of trivia ... name as many D1 NCAA sports teams as you can whose team name DOES NOT:1. Include a Color2. Include an Animal3. End in 's'

I was going to suggest Toros over Matadors myself, the bull is the tougher of the two though usually ends up on the wrong end of the sticks. Is there a Torador? Or they can go old Hollywood and name them after a classic Peter Sellers role, Troubamatadors or Matatroubadors, he has not decided which one to use. Raise your hand if you know what that's from.I like Dragons a lot, mascot can be Smaug (Tolkien and smog)Talk about a blast from the past.

Devils or Demons, may be hard to sell but it works for Jersey.
Pride, a lion mascot would match the Kings new mascot although that one sucks. Has the MG Leo the Lion tie in as well. But the football team mught have a beter chance to win a hockey game than the hockey Kings. So why do I keep going?
Quake is all right too, and could be unique like Pride with no pluralization.
Also Tide, Rip Tide, Spartans.
Maybe something Armenian.

Also, LA Pride would definitely appeal to a certain, ahem, neglected portion of the NFL's male fan base.

Nevermind, I got it. You'd think living in Silverlake, though not a part of that fan base, I would've gotten it right away. Although I don't know what that has to do with Armenians.?

We already had the Raiders here.
