Team Name and Mascot to Change: Carolina Muskrats?

[CharlotteBeer.com]

I know it sounds insane, but I heard through a pretty good source that this is a possibility.

At first I thought, "No way." After all, muskrats probably exist toward our coast, but by no means are the Carolinas known for this rodent. But then that's true of panthers too, right?

Then I learned, via Wikipedia, that muskrats often consist of "male and female pair and their young." I think that displays the family values and high character that Jerry Richardson looks for in a person -- and a rodent.

Plus, they can be pretty fierce for their size.

I had grown to love the Panthers, but I'm thinking I can grow to love the Carolina Muskrats as well.

thats more insulting than the alabama crimson tide .. i hardly think menstruation is an appropriate team name what does a womans period have to do with football?

Also, Sir Purr will be replaced by Sir Furr, a six-foot tall muskrat wearing none other than a coat made from other muskrats.

You heard it here, folks.

I think your source is mixing up the Carolina Panthers and the Charlotte Bobcats. With Jordan buying the team he is thinking about changing the name and mascot. But I'm guessing you already knew this and this was all a joke.

Now that you mention it, I do remember the source singing the new fight song.

It was something like, "Tic tac, muskrats back -- something, something Muskratsketball!"

You might be right.

Especially when they play a team called the Bears.
