Now Here's an Idea...
The Baseball Crank has a good idea on how the Arizona Cardinals might honor Pat Tillman's memory.
Rename the team:
"Call them the Arizona Rangers, in honor of Tillman's unit in the Army and their sacrifices over many generations, most famously in scaling the cliffs at Normandy on D-Day but in many other deadly engagements."
I like the idea, though I could see how the opposition might paint a picture of the franchise attempting to reap a financial gain on his memory. But still, it would serve as a nice tribute, and not just to Tillman, as The Crank points out. The name change would honor all of the soldiers in one of America's most elite fighting units.
