Let's Settle This "Nickname Thing"

This has been one fun project. I was scared that I wouldn't get 10 suggestions, two days later and 340 responses later, here we go. There were a lot of great suggestions. Some were just too long and didn't roll off the tongue, such as "Streetcar Named Kick Your Ass". That was one of my favorites. Also, "Jambalaya Laya Pants on Fiya". Not sure what that has to do with football, but it's funny. So don't get your feelings hurt if your suggestion is not in the poll. When you have 340 responses, you can't vote on them all. And just so you know, none of mine made the top ten either. I'll leave the poll up until Sunday, November 1st so get your vote in.

Hmm. If it doesn’t catch on as a Saints nickname, they could always earmark it as the next new Mountain Dew flavor.

That’s the defense alone. 5 games with a real defense and 3 1/2 years of great offense and we name the defense? Doesn’t sound right., even though I like the name.

Just defense is good enough
…if none of the other names are good enough.
Hell, “Steel Curtain” was just the defense. So was our own “Dome Patrol.” “Fearsome Foursome” was just the defensive line.
For the offense, why not something like “9th Airborne.” (I know, nominations are closed…)

Disagree that "Domeland Security" is only about Defense
Consider this … Comprehensive Homeland Security is as much about Offensive Strategies (being proactive) as it is about Defensive strategies. Having assets interacting in all sorts of ways around the world is all about being offensive.
Of course, when you consider deep cover CIA, NAVY Seals, Rangers and other covert entities (we know nothing about) Special Teams is covered quite nicely also

I vote for Domeland Security – and when they eject someone from the Dome, they can give them a token for a free ride home on the “Streetcar named Kick Your Ass”

What, you think the army spends its entire time on base or something? Neither does homeland security. So why would the domeland security?
by FriarBob on Oct 24, 2009 12:09 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Foreign terrorists can strike within U.S. borders, or from abroad with long range missles. How is the security of our “Domeland” relevant to anything that might occur away from New Orleans? Will a Chad Henne TD pass on Sunday somehow dampen the collective spirit of the five or six custodians sweeping the empty corridors of the Superdome at the time?

Foreign terrorists also strike our forces when they are outside our borders as well.
But that also was completely irrelevant to what I was saying. Our team plays in the dome and practices nearby at a team-owned facility. That’s their “home base”. They spend most of their time there, but not all. The homeland security teams have offices or other stations (airports, train stations, etc) that they primarily work out of. That’s their “home base”. They may spend most of their time there, but they don’t sit in those offices and make sure no terrorist comes to that office and ignore all the territory around it. And when they aren’t in their offices their name doesn’t suddenly change to “otherland security” or something. The US army, navy, etc. all have bases that they spend most of their time at. That’s their “home base”. They don’t spend all their time on base tho, they are deployed for everything from wars to peacekeeping missions to assistance with disaster recovery and all sorts of things. And when they leave our borders to go on missions their names don’t suddenly change to “outside the US army” or something.
So just because they domeland patrol isn’t in the dome, doesn’t mean they need a new name.

I’m not sure what the U.S. Armed Forces have to do with this. The Army, Navy and Air Force fall under the Department of Defense, not the Department of Homeland Security. You’re right, Homeland Security does operate outside of the continental U.S. in a limited capacity, but it’s all within the realm of protecting the “homeland”, i.e., the lower 48, Alaska, Hawaii and a few U.S. territories. The Saints aren’t protecting the Superdome itself even when they play there, if you want to get technical about it. That being said, I understand the ideology behind “defending your turf”, as in gang warfare and the like. But even then, it’s a territorial pissing, not a battle waged on foreign soil. I just don’t see where the name would apply to away games. No moreso than actual Superdome security — the folks w/ bright yellow gold shirts & walkie talkies — would carry arrest and detain jursidiction outside of our home stadium.

Of course, no one referred to Jackson, Mills, Johnson and Swilling as anything other than the “Dome Patrol” when they played in away games. I guess it doesn’t make any less sense than that did.

I like "The Perfect Storm"
Think about it. That storm which they made a movie about (The Perfect Storm) was three separate storm systems that merged together to produce one giant ass kicking hurricane that was one hell of a destructible force. In other words Offense+Defense+Special Teams= an ass kicking destructible team (our New Orleans Saints)

I like that one because it has a team feel to it and a football theme as well. Not to mention, the Legion of Doom is very trendy right now in its own nerdy pop-culture way.

You could tie this in to the CSC charity sponsorship idea you had a poll regarding a while back. I’d pay extra for a little karma to go with a memento of a great team. I’m sure there are a few members with the photoshop skills to produce a decent single-color screen print image for this, as well, though maybe it would be a huge headache for you. Just a thought.

'Cardiac' refers to teams that win close games, usually pulling them out at the last second..
We haven’t had any close games, therefore, no cardiac arrest.

I'm partial to Category 5 for obvious reasons
I think the rest of the country will get it. Everyone knows what an F-5 is, so what’s to say they wouldn’t know what a category 5 is, especially since it’s a New Orleans nickname.
Domeland Security is a very good name for the defense but not the team alone. It does NOT incorporate the offense, though. The arguments before about homeland security conducting offensive operations is slightly skewed. The homeland security mission and scope is Defensive. There are offensive actions that are used for defensive mean, but it’s still a defense. Just like counterpunching is a defensive move that utilizes an offensive strike.
And I’m sorry, I really don’t like “pick your poison”. That’s not a nickname, it’s a slogan.

OK, so pick your poison doesn’t really apply to the D as much as it would the offense, and “Domeland Security” is definitely intended for the D, so I see the contradiction.
I don’t think that we should negate a good D nickname just because we are trying to come up with something for the offense.
“When something smacks you in the face, pay attention to it!” -my Mom
I still like perfect storm for the team a little better than Cat 5. I feel that the important thing to remember is that this teams success has depended largely on a few chance circumstances that COMBINED to get the team where it is today. the Cat 5 was just one of the factors to the “perfect storm” *

From Wikipedia:
“A ‘perfect storm’ is an expression that describes an event where a rare combination of circumstances will aggravate a situation drastically. The term is also used to describe a hypothetical hurricane that happens to hit at a region’s most vulnerable area, resulting in the worst possible damage by a hurricane of its magnitude.
If a Saints team having a formidable offense and defense simultaneously doesn’t qualify as “a rare combination of circumstances”, I don’t what would.

Why? Open source media has tremendous amounts of intelligence value and Wiki we just use to look up useless facts not related to work. Wiki is fun to kill time with.
I will tell you this right now, CNN breaks news stories incredibly fast, generally a full day before other networks. I would not be surprised if some news networks watch CNN and broadcast stories based on what they saw.

Wiki is a big joke in MI. We always mess with each other about referencing it.
As for CNN, let me let you in on a little secret. Things that no one is supposed to know about and kept highly secret, end up on CNN the next day. They’ve got moles in very high level spots.
Also, open source media is its own branch of intel. It’s called OSINT. You should look it up sometime if you get a chance, it’s pretty impressive actually.

I still prefer
“Category 5” or “The Perfect Storm”.
Teams readily associated with “Domeland Security”:
Arizona Cardinals
Atlanta Falcons
Dallas Cowboys
Detroit Lions
Houston Texans
Indianapolis Colts
Minnesota Vikings
New Orleans Saints
St. Louis Rams
Teams readily associated with the other two:
Jacksonville Jaguars
Miami Dolphins
New Orleans Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
… and possibly the New England Patriots, since the film was set off the coast of Massachusetts.
If I had to speculate, probably 95% of all Americans would immediately associate a hurricane-related nickname with New Orleans.

Case in point: If you heard a team’s defense referred to as “The Tremor Squad”, who would guess the St. Louis Rams? They have a fault line near St. Louis, so it COULD apply … but I feel pretty confident the vast majority of you would guess the 49ers or Raiders … possibly Chargers. When I hear “Domeland Security”, the first city that jumps into my mind is Washington DC. Then, it’s like … “wait-a-sec, the Redskins play in an open-air stadium … hmm …” Nice play on words, but there’s just no clearcut tie there on a national level.

Bottom Line
“Domeland Security” is a great name, but it does work on so many levels.
A. We are not the only dome team. There are 8 others.
B. We only play 1/2 our games in that dome.
C. It sounds to most people like a name for the defense, and our offense has been first or second in the league for 3 1/2 years. Our defense is 5 games into, what we hope will be a long term deal, but the defense is, not yet, what the Saints are known for.

I’d also like to clarify how I am a want-to-be. That one baffles me a bit.
Obviously you took offense, because you are:
A – From Mississippi
B – Can’t take a joke
C – Ignorant in your own right
D – All of the above
In any case, as I stated before, it was a joke, but you are definitely starting to make me wonder how much truth there actually was in my statement.
