Embraceable Ewe?
What a shame the Kingfish isn't around-now THAT'S classic Louisiana!
Didn't the Los Angeles Rams first propose calling their cheerleaders the Embraceable Ewes?
Love it. Free him! If the D's won't take him, dang it, the R's will...
David - the J. White David, m'lud, not the mdavid david - is correct. I think I recall Johnny Carson mentioning it one night on The Tonight Show, perhaps a quarter-century ago. See e.g., TIME:

I should have included this paragraph after my own heart from the TIME story I linked - turns out it's by John Leo:
"Every now and then a franchise attempts a punning name. A hockey team in Georgia was known as the Macon Whoopees, and the Los Angeles Rams cheerleaders were once called the Embraceable Ewes. The name Buffalo Bills is a pun of sorts. So was the name of the late American Basketball Association team, the St. Louis Spirits. (Get it? The Spirit of St. Louis?) Perhaps one day we will have the Norman (Okla.) Conquests or the Greenwich Village Idiots."
