On Stingrays...
From Bill Simmons' column today:
"6:47 -- Wait, another stingray attack? Yikes. I think the stingrays are furious that we haven't respected them enough to name a professional sports team after them. Now they're taking it out on us. And frankly, I don't blame them."
Wait just a minute Bill - what about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays? I mean, I'm no marine biologist, but their logo sure looks like a stingray to me.
Or was Bill trying to be cute by implying that the Devil Rays aren't a professional sports team?

Johnny, hate to annoy you in preparation for the big race tomorrow, but Bill got it right.
A devil ray, is in the same order but different family than a stingray. The manta is also known as a devil ray

Well there you go. I'm not, in fact, a marine biologist.

They've dropped the "Devil", they're just the Rays now.
Go Rays!
