Gentlemen:
Unfortunately I will no longer be able to continue playing. Finding the time has become more difficult. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Good luck
Brian

BUCS would like to assume Vikings name rights.

OK The Bucs are now the Vikings.
How about this. The now former Vikings are now referred to as Team "J" and the Giants are now referred to as Team "10" .
Prevents naming problems, issues, whatever. Change all trades to reflect the name changes.
That way there will be no "old Bucs", "new Bucs". "older Bucs", "old Giants","non Giants", "Vikings", " was a Viking", etc. on the trade logs
That way a new coach can rename the teams however they want with the available names.

Also open to waiting until after this current season for any changes to the name. whichever way is less intrusive.

I missed this post and would also like to lay claim to the Vikings. I grew up in Minnesota and have been in the league longer than Alex. I followed the team as a kid and remember watching the Roger Staubach to Drew Pearson hail marry where Nate Wright fell down/was pushed down in the 1975 Playoffs. I also remember Brent McClanahan fumbling in the 1977 Super Bowl vs Oakland. For all the pain that the Vikings 4 Super Bowl losses caused me as a kid, I feel I rightfully deserve the Vikings name. I hope Alex will bow out gracefully and pass the name to the rightful owner.

Not a chance I bow on this one. I have and always will bleed purple and gold - and believe you told me week 1, although from Minny, not really a fan anymore. Did I misunderstand?

Next time you are both here we can flip a coin?

Alex,
Are you from Minnesota? No
Do you know what year they made their debut? Without looking at your computer?
Do you know who their 1st coach was?
Do you know who the 1st QB for the Vikings was?
Can you name their starting defensive line during the Purple People Eater days? All 4 of them?
Can you name the 4 teams the Vikings lost to in the Super Bowl?
Instead of flipping a coin, we both should have to answer random trivia questions about the Vikings? Are you game to test your true knowledge of all things Vikings?

I must admit, I kind of like the trivia idea.
That being said, I think this should take effect next season as to not mess with the existing schedule, trade log etc. Also we need to keep in mind, while it's not likely, there could be somebody who picks up the existing teams.

I fail to see how arbitrary questions are relevant at all. I bet I have been to more Vikings games than anyone in the league over the past decade, does that entitle me to the Vikings team name? No.

Whoever gets the team name, I agree that it should wait till next season to take place for simplicity.

So Tony, do you think flipping a coin is the best way to decide this issue? If you want in on the Vikings name, go for it. If 2 or more people (Alex, me and maybe you) are interested in the same thing, how better to decide who is most deserving of it. It might even be a fun thing to do at the Super Bowl this year or the draft next year. Are you against a little fun?
I also agree that the name change should not occur until next year. I want Carson Palmer to retire as a Titan.
PS--Congrats on being at the most Vikings games. You are right. That doesn't mean anything.

My $.02.
If more than one person wants the nickname, I think it should be determined by chance. I wanted the Rams nickname 17 years ago -- I lost a coin flip to Ron.
