Sorta strange how the second largest city in the United States doesn’t have a team from the country’s most popular sport.

Even Buffalo, Jacksonville and Minnesota have NFL teams. Those three cities can’t even combine to reach LA’s 12.9 million people, let alone attract famous people.

But by 2009, the city of angels will ‘no doubt’ have a professional football team, according to the Contra Costa times.

We’ve taken the liberty of coming up with a few names that are about as corny as the “you know you’re from [city] when” jokes:

• The Santa Monica Surfer Brahs
• The Hollywood Paparazzi
• The Orange County Frosted Tips
• The Los Angeles Herbs (isn’t pot legal out there?)
• The Laguna Beach Sluts
