Baseball's ~~Los Angeles~~ ~~Anaheim~~ ~~California~~ ~~Los Angeles~~ ~~Anaheim~~ Angels have announced that their new official team name is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Never one to miss a marketing opportunity, George Steinbrenner has announced that his team will henceforth be known as the Boston Yankees of New York, and the Irsay family hopped on the bandwagon by renaming their team the Baltimore Colts of Indianapolis.

Lawyers for Al Davis are looking into the possibilty of suing all North American sports leagues over ownership of the name "Los Angeles".

2 You, sir, are an idiot. In other words, that's top notch comedy.

3 The New York Giants of New Jersey.
Or, maybe should it be The New Jersey Giants of New York...?

I surmise that the Angels made the whacky switch just to justify their name and didn't want anymore to sound almost as rediculous as the "Utah Jazz". It's still kinda silly, though.
