Las Vegas owner Bill Foley would love to have a name for his expansion team, and hes open to ideas.Three weeks after the NHL awarded an expansion team to Foley, he said his group is having trademark issues and wants to settle on a name quickly. After naming George McPhee as his general manager, Foley expressed some impatience at how the process has stalled.We have a lot of names in mind, but a lot of the ones I really liked are trademarked, so thats a little bit of an issue, Foley said Wednesday. Im happy to take any suggestions anyone has for a name, particularly one thats not already trademarked.Foley is a 1967 graduate of West Point and has expressed an affinity for the name Black Knights as a nod to the Army. Canadian sports network TSN reported Wednesday that Knights was likely to be the name of the Las Vegas team, which will begin play in 2017-18.After agreeing to pay the league a $500 million expansion fee, Foley joked that he should be able to pick the name. Again he reiterated that there wont be a pick-the-name contest but cited the urgency to get one.Our goal is to have a logo and a team name ASAP, Foley said, adding I didnt realize how complicated it was. It is complicated and were working our way through the process right now as we speak.Another ongoing process is getting a top minor league affiliate. American Hockey League president and CEO David Andrews said in a telephone interview that there would be a 31st team for 2017-18 to even out with the NHL, although Las Vegas could take a current team or a new franchise.Foley mentioned Salt Lake City as a potential option geographically close to Las Vegas.There are plenty of Las Vegas-esque names out there, but Foley said the NHL made it clear it should have no association with gambling. Foley knows what he wants.It should represent Las Vegas, it should represent the environment, it should be unique to Las Vegas, he said. But it needs to be a name that people hear the name and say, `These guys are tough, these guys are going to win, these guys are dedicated. So I need to have that kind of momentum, that kind of philosophy behind the name.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno . Paul Quantrill Jersey . PAUL, Minn.

Ousting John Grant is unlikely to improve NRL clubs situation despite being their only option in the fight for the games disputed funding, Phil Gould says.Negotiations between Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Grant and the clubs are at a standstill with no resolution in sight after being postponed indefinitely this week.The Penrith general manager has rejected Grants claims the push to remove him is personal.Rather, Gould said, it is a last resort to compel the ARLC against reneging on a 12-month-old agreement for extra funding.At the moment, the action against John Grant is the only action available to the clubs, so theyve taken it to make a stand and make a statement, Gould told EON Sports Radio on Friday.That is their only option.Its not personal against John. Its just that where the constitution is at the moment and where the rights of the clubs can bee most expressed is, I guess, to de-vote and remove the chairman.ddddddddddddClubs will vote on Grants job at an emergency general meeting on December 20 after he refused to step down.They require a minimum 14 votes from the games 26 shareholders - the 16 clubs, the NSWRL, the QRL and the eight commissioners - to remove Grant.Fourteen clubs, excluding the NRL-owned Gold Coast and Newcastle, signed a letter to the ARLC backing the emergency meeting.Im not sure (getting rid of Grant) solves the problem, Gould said.Once John is removed, the clubs have no power under the constitution to appoint his replacement.If the moneys not there, the moneys not there.So I guess John is paying the penalty for whatever has led to this particular situation.
