Will new Rams mascot be called Rush?

For the love of God, there’s only a couple of hours left to vote on a name for the new St. Louis Rams’ mascot! And of the five finalists, “Rush” is trailing heavily. This is very sad news. Conservative talk host Rush Limbaugh, you may recall, figured heavily in speculation last year as a potential owner of the team when the Rams were up for sale. We suspect that’s what voters had in mind when they submitted potential names for the team’s new mascot — a guy in a Rams’ outfit who does cartwheels — which was then whittled down to five finalists. Voting closes tonight on the final choice, with “Rampage” leading the pack as of this writing with 37 percent of the vote, followed by “Archie” (24 percent), “Rammer” and “Ramsey” (14 percent each) and “Rush” (a paltry 8 percent, despite getting my vote).
Of course all five names are lame; the NFL is a giant, soulless corporation, so that’s a given. Better choices would have been Pan (the Greek goat god), Horny, Butts (or Butz), Smacky, or Rutty (in honor of the ferocious head-butting by males to establish a dominance hierarchy that determines access to ewes for mating). Or, Steve.
