    Some people have been squatting on names for a payout for years.

    A friend of mine (former poster here) was in college in the mid 90's and was smart enough to register some sites back in the day when companies didn't realize what the Internet was going to be. He gave budweiser.com back to Bud in exchange for a year's supply of beer and guinness.com back to Guinness in exchange for a trip to Ireland to tour their brewery for him and his wife. Apparently he also sold beer.com for 6 figures.

    Now days you can't get away with that as there are legal remedies for companies to get names.

    Personally I'd go with the Fighting Snuffleupagi, but I hear it's going to be the Washington Snyders.

    Washington Freedom? WUSA getting some trademark cash? Or maybe they paying the NASL for the trademarks to the Diplomats?
