NJ Devils burning mad over proposal to change team name
You learn something new every day....
However, the New Jersey NHL hockey team's name, chosen in a 1982 fan contest, comes from the mythical Jersey Devil, not the Christian symbol of the antichrist, according to Weird N.J., a travel guide to the state's most offbeat attractions.
The mythical Jersey Devil -- with batlike wings, a forked tail and oversized claws -- was said to terrorize Pine Barrens dwellers in the 18th century after being born the 13th child to poor south Jerseyans and morphing into a dinosaurlike beast.
Dinasour-like beast? All I have to say to that is ROARRRR!!!!!!!
