I had the pleasure of watching my hometown Detroit Lions on TV today. A pleasure for two reasons: Watching them is so often unbearable, because they aren’t exactly a storied franchise of gridiron greatness, and yet today they won; and because they’re so rarely on TV in my area–always on Thanksgiving, and maybe once or twice during the rest of the season. But today they played the Baltimore Ravens, and Ravens are often broadcast in the DC market. Something the Ravens have made me wonder: Is there any other team in pro sports whose name is a literary reference?
