NEW HAVEN - The recent loss of KFS football team New Haven Ghetto 
Thugs along with the recent move of the AA New Haven Ravens to 
Manchester, NH has left the city without a sports team.

...Until today, when it was announced that the Surry Bridge Jumpers 
would move to New Haven and become the New Haven Traffic Cones. Team 
owner Jeff Stanley said the team name is in honor of the I-91 - I-95 
construction project the city began two years ago and doesn’t expect 
to finish until 2012. "Yeah that’s right 2012," Stanley was heard 
to comment, "They could build a Home Depot in Keene faster than 
that." 

The Traffic Cones will play their home games at the historic 
(run-down and crappy) Yale Field, which has hosted such players as 
Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, George Bush and Steve Balboni. 

Stanley also announced the launch of the Cones' new website, which 
can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/ffej979/kfs The Cones have 
the second choice in the KFS draft, which will be held March 25th and 
hope to draft someone that "doesn’t suck." We can only cross our 
fingers.
