On NBC Nightly News tonight it was mentioned that some people want to rename the R..skins the Reagans, as a tribute to Ronnie.
This got me to thinking about what plays they might run.
Instead of the "Hail Mary" they might try a "Hail Nancy's Astrologer"
Or a hand off might be called an illegal arms transfer.
A sweep right might be a triple the debt.
A sweep left might be a Brady Bill.
A blitz could be a Grenada Invasion.
You get the idea. Please contribute (these things almost write themselves).

and the Washington NBA team changed its name years ago, because "Bullets" was suggestive of gun violence.
