The Resume

(1998-October 20, 2009)
Located in Auburn Hills, Michigan
Won 3 WNBA championships (2003, 2006, 2008)
Notable players include Ruth Riley, Cheryl Ford, Deanna Nolan, Katie Smith and Swin Cash
Sister team of the Detroit Pistons
Announced they moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to become the Tulsa Shock on October 20, 2009

Why they might be annoying:

Like the Pistons, they have an automobile-inspired nickname (that isn't really shocking).
After having a winning record their first season, they had four straight losing seasons.
They hired punk Bill Laimbeer as a head coach.
Their mascot is an Aussie dingo, even though Australia is nowhere close to Michigan.

Why they might not be annoying:

They were the third different team to win a WNBA title.
They were the first WNBA team to go from last place to champions in one year.
A section of their web site features their players in sexy attire.
Unlike their male counterparts, there aren't any major fights that break out in their games.
Cheryl Ford won a championship with them; her dad, Karl Malone, never won a title.
