 | | The league has franchises in Los Angeles, San Diego, Kansas City, Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, Indianapolis and Tampa Bay. |
 | | Three teams have canine nicknames -- the Detroit Dogs, the Tampa Bay ThunderDawgs, and the Memphis Houn'Dawgs, whose mascot is, of course, a dog dressed like Elvis. |
