Morning links: Famous actor teases Utah 'Jazz;' Warriors meet ex-Ute Wat Misaka

SALT LAKE CITY — Though it was in a humorous tone, the Utah Jazz nickname was put on another public trial this week.

Actor John Cleese, who’s actually a big fan of Utah’s NBA team, was apparently surprised by the mascot of a Japanese soccer team and jokingly brought the Jazz into the discussion on Twitter.

I have always believed that the Utah Jazz was the silliest name for a sports team, though Memphis Grizzlies isn't bad

Now 'Kashima Antlers' has appeared

It's a close call...

Can anyone confirm there's an ice hockey team called the Central African Republic Waste Paper Baskets ?
