Their original nickname shares its name with a card game.
They never drew large crowds in New Jersey.
They moved from New Jersey to Las Vegas just a few weeks before the 2003 season started.

They traded Aaron Garcia, who later became one of the best arena football quarterbacks.
They failed to get a 10-win season their first decade in existence.
Why they might not be annoying
