Boston Tossers Get that tea off the ship! Loose reference to the Tea Party?

Montreal Harfangs Was a good suggestion, so I will back Darknes. Unless the once popular restaurant chain makes a comeback and sponsors the team.. then I want the Montreal Hooters/Peckers.



Washington Sentinels I think this is a unique name that describes a soldier with a fairly specific job that falls in line with Washington. DC's responsibility is to keep watch over our nation, guarding and detecting all threats. 

Washington Vedettes is another option that I actually use in a video game just because it sounds cool (kind of like Cadets). This has a double meaning. 1. a mounted sentry positioned beyond an army's outposts to observe the movements of the enemy (In line with the Sentinels suggestion) 2. a leading star of stage, screen, or television. For the second one I take it as our nation's capital being our leading star even though they don't have one on the flag. Also is a nod to the beloved three stars on the DC flag (Could play with that imagery if the name is chosen). It is a stretch, but never has been seen in sports.



Minnesota... this one is tough, but I think they would be the one with an odd name. Liked the influence of Aurora Borealis, so if it goes that direction I think The Lights of Minnesota would be fun.

Twin City Metros Guess they are known for their transit system.

Twin City Volunteers As of 2011, 40% of the adult population devote free time to volunteer work. Think it be a classy move to acknowledge the good will of the people who call the Twin Cities their home.

Minnesota Honeycrisps The Honeycrisp Apple is Minnesota's state fruit. Invented by the University of Minnesota.

Twin City Harlequins Minneapolis is home of the nations oldest sketch comedy theater.... and this one is fun to say.

I have so many for Minnesota because of Section30's name the team. The place is odd and fascinating to say the least.

Miami B/C Patrick Sanders Jr. has just announced his retirement after 10 seasons in the NDL. Sanders, who will turn 43 in October, spent his first six seasons with the Palms before being sent to Philadelphia in the Ray Thomas trade. Both Sanders and Thomas were instrumental in leading the Row to their first NDL championship in 2023. Sanders was traded back to the Palms in 2025, and was able to end his career with the same franchise he started with, albeit in a different location. Sanders is expected to stay with the team as an assistant coach.

NDL free agency just got underway, and the Nashville Fugitives have already made a big splash. Nashville has made W/K Will Orleans the new highest paid player in the NDL, as the two parties agreed to a deal worth $138 million over 9 years. Orleans blossomed into a truly elite player during his time in California, and the prospect of him teaming up with F/C Michel Blanchard is frankly a bit terrifying.

As expected, Seattle head coach Keith Morris has announced that 2026 was his last year on an NDL bench. Morris has helmed the Sawyers since the league’s beginning, and while the team struggled a bit in his first few years, Morris has since led the team to several successful campaigns, finishing with a 259-193 record over ten seasons. Having turned 72 during the 2026 season, Morris has been revered as one of the league’s elder statesmen, but in his own words, “I’m getting too much elder and not enough statesman.” Morris will likely be replaced by assistant coach Austin Champion.

With the defending champion Redbacks having just turned in pick number twelve, let’s take a look at some of the stories from Round 1 of the draft. The Sabertooths, unsurprisingly, took Army product Tyler Charles, who will help them firm up their forward depth. Miami, who had acquired New York’s #2 pick, traded down with Orlando, allowing the Orbits to take Jerimiah Lueken, while the Palms snagged physical B/ZB Keanu Jones. Toronto continued their rebuild with two top-6 picks, but otherwise, the rest of the night went without much fanfare. The full list is below:

1. LA - F/ZB Tyler Charles (Army)
2. ORL (from NY via MIA) - B/K Jerimiah Lueken (Tennessee Tech)
3. MIA (from ORL) - B/ZB Keanu Jones (Central Michigan)
4. TOR - B/ZB Michael Perez (Cleveland State)
5. ATL - B/C Brandon Smith (Memphis)
6. TOR (from CAL) - W/ZB Jacob Solis (New Mexico)
7. NSH - B/ZB Andres Burnell (Oakland)
8. CHI - B/ZB Ty McAllister (Eastern Washington)
9. SEA - Brian Amiga (North Carolina A&T)
10. PHI - W/ZB Madison Lagutenko (Troy)
11. MIA - B/ZB Isaac Luna (Idaho)
12. TEX - W/ZB Graeme Roberts (Fairleigh Dickinson)

Well, the news we feared has just been confirmed. Not only did the Sea Lions fail to re-sign W/K Will Orleans and B/ZB Kenton Snowberger, but B/ZB Nick Phipps-Joseph has signed with the Seattle Sawyers. At least Will and Snowy had the decency to go to Nashville and Philly, but I thought NPJ was better than abandoning us for a divisional rival. Either way, this is shaping up to be a disastrous offseason for the Lions, although as I’m writing this, they’ve reportedly signed Texas W/ZB Joe Day, so I guess they’re not technically doing nothing. Still. Brutal.

Big trade alert! The Nashville Fugitives and New York Chargers have agreed to a mammoth deal that will send B/C Andi Effendi, F/ZB Marcos Campos, and F/ZB Mo Kiani to the Big Apple in return for F/C Billy Moses and B/ZB Vladimir Herrera. This is largely a cap move for the Fugues, who are short on funds after several big free agent signings, including Texas B/ZB Dave Sanderson, and, obviously, California W/K Will Orleans. Still, this is a move that should benefit both teams, as New York adds talent while Nashville refocuses their roster around their new superteam.

Toronto Hogs owner Raymond Inman is reportedly recovering from stroke symptoms. Inman was rushed to Toronto Western Hospital earlier this morning. The 89-year-old Inman is expected to make a full recovery, but has handed over his duties with the Hogs to his son Ryan. Ryan’s control of the team is temporary as of now, but will likely last at least for the majority of the 2027 season and may end up being permanent with his father’s health being in question.

Trashville isn't certainly shopping from the Dumpster! I think it's an interesting offseason to be cure.

I think Philly's update makes'em look really classy!

Nice update for the Row

I love the new Chargers update! I will miss the stock market alt, it was clever and still looked good as a sort of half and half jersey.
