More Pro Football Teams Contemplating Bird Nicknames

When 4 of the 5 NFL teams with bird nicknames made the playoffs, teams owners took notice.

The Baltimore Ravens held tough, but could not quite come through in making 2009 the year of the first "all bird" Super Bowl featuring them vs. the Arizona Cardinals.

But next season will bring change. In light of US Airways flight 1549 over New York City, in which a few geese brought down a large jet, the New York Jets are giving serious consideration toward renaming themselves.

"As The Jets, we laid an egg and missed the playoffs this year. Geese certainly demonstrated their prowess last week when they brought down that jet. That seems like a potential switch to me." Said Al B. Tross, Director of Mascot Operations for the New York Jets.
