funniest sounding finals matchups

Since it's the NBA playoffs, I dusted off nba2k9 for ps3. And with updated rosters I've taken the new look Nuggets to the finals where they face Miami. Or in other words the matchup is Heat Nuggets. By sport here are the funniest sounding matchups that are possible, based on conferences. 

NBA
Magic Nuggets
Heat Nuggets
Thunder Bucks
Jazz Wizards

NHL
Wild Panthers
Wild Penguins
Wild Senators
Lightning Sharks
Lightning Avalanche

NFL
Browns Lions*

*not funny because of the syntax, but because the thought of these teams meeting in the Super Bowl is so laughable.

  1. I bet you a meal at Fogo (or equivalent) that the Lions reach the Super Bowl before the Chiefs

  2. It's ON! The wager is first team to play in the Super Bowl (not win).

    Should the stakes be a $50 steak dinner or specifically a $50 Brazilian steakhouse?

  3. You name the bet. I just think that a Super Bowl appearance by one of our teams necessitates high stakes (for us). No hamburger or BBQ. And if it's Lions/Chiefs, the bet carries over to whoever wins the Super Bowl.

    I can't wait for you buy me a nice meaty dinner in 30 years.

  4. Okay, let's say the stakes (get it) are a high-class steak dinner at the restaurant of the winner's choosing. I would expect it to be about 60+/person in 2011 dollars, depending on what you order. But no price restrictions per se.

    (Includes all sides and desserts. Does not include buying a 24k gold dessert that costs $10k.
