Shtikl Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Iowa Chops to offer contract to Brett Favre OK, I have to admit, the L-Devils have never sunk this low... But then, they don't belong to an ownership group that would call their team "the Iowa Chops" either... or emphasize their connection to pork...

devilsfan26 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 If it was at all possible to take this team seriously after seeing their logo and team name, that possibility is now history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vadvlfan Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 After giving it some thought, I like the name. It's different. Does a name/logo like the Penguins strike fear into the hearts of opponents?? Only their reputation. In fact, maybe I'll buy a t-shirt eh?? Go Chops! Grill dem bastards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtikl Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Can he even play hockey? About as well as Alex Ovechkin can play football, I suppose. It might be the best possible solution for the "what to do with Favre now that the Packers don't want him" problem. I don't know if this is a uniquely Iowa form of humor (heavy on the maize), if somebody had a little too much of that corn-based ethanol they brag about brewing, or if it's just a wild PR stunt. But it's spreading the team's name around, isn't it? I can't say that the Lowell Devils are doing as much to promote themselves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils102 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Wow stupid... Then again, prolly just a president's way of drawing some attention to his team. So good for him I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltab213 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I kinda like the name. The team was going to be named the Iowa Storm, which is generic and lame. Atleast the Chops is uniquely Iowan. It may sound kinda hick-ish, but who cares? Many Iowans are proud of their heritage as part of the 'bread basket of the nation' in agriculture and livestock.

njskaguy33 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Imagine if you will, that Brett Farve actually took them up on the offer and played, oh I dunno, 1 game with the team. What better way to fill an arena with new Chops fans than try to get a celebrity to play a few game with them. Sure, it's hacky but it's great publicity for the team!
