In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
"The Tampa Bay FireSticks, while immensely pleased with the current and legendary hockey player lineups we have developed, grow increasingly ... curious about the additional categories required of us as franchise owners. However, we are not without a sense of whimsy, particularly after several rounds of our Official Franchise Alcoholic Beverage. Thus, a spirited (so to speak) discussion was held regarding the selection of a Franchise Urban Myth. After much debate and a not inconsiderable amount of liquid conversation enhancer, our consensus was both longstanding in its legendary status as well as local to our home state, even though the "official" archeological site where Ponce de Leon founded St. Augustine in 1513 is far too close to our -- ugghhhh!! -- rival. We announce the selection of the Fountain of Youth as our choice for this category.
"We are unaware whether ownership of this particular myth imbues us with greater longevity, but will gladly lay claim to the tourist revenue associated with it.
"And speaking of Florida's also-ran QuackVerse franchise, @BiggE is now on the clock."

Dammit, Bern! I was keeping this on the back burner for a future Dealer’s Choice.
They can suck it. I may hatewatch it at some point, but I won't forgive them for that. Also, I don't need more Dexter.

Tampa is a silly place, now on to our pick!
Hey boss, what we doing here?
Listen up big guy, McMahon finally got his act together and asked you, the 8th Wonder of the World, and me, the smartest man in the business, to select the Methgators official chain restaurant.
AtG: What’s a Methgator, boss?
BH: Beats me, but it sounds like something an idiot like McMahon would come up with.
JUST READ THE DAMN CARD, DAMMIT!!
AtG: Easy boss, you don’ wanna have a stroke, do you?
BH: That’s right! Now shut up McMahon and let the Brain continue! You’re welcome! Anyway, the Giant here likes big portions and low prices so, the official chain restaurant of the Jacksonville Methgators is....tell em Andre
AtG: CRACKERBARREL BOSS!!!
@CanadianFlyer88 , it’s all you big boy!

I guess I'll get this one out of the way because I don't eat at chain restaurants, outside of fast food on occasion, and this is the last chain restaurant I recall being at more than once in "recent" years.
I first went into this restaurant for the novelty of it in 2011. We were in San Francisco and this restaurant had a nice lookout on the pier at Fisherman's Wharf. We didn't go to another until 2017 when we took our niece to Disneyland and this restaurant was across the street from our hotel. I haven't been to another since.
I am still blown away that it became a thing.
Our team chain restaurant is Bubba Gump Shrimp Co..

Imma about to get real dumb..
The PORTLAND FOG select for Future Draft Category:
Team Chicken & It's Celebrity Look-alike
That's right. Choose from one of the many glorious types of Chickens and a celebrity from any space that looks like your chosen chicken. No duplicates on the celebs, obviously.
This is what happens when Buffy is stolen from me.

As I am still reeling, i'm not ready to pick a Buffy replacement. So we'll move on to Team Chain Restaurant and go with a local favorite which has by my count 13 locations at least.

Our urban myth will be the EA Sports Cover Curse, specifically the Madden cover curse, if need be. From Madden 99 through Madden 21, 16/22 cover athletes had down seasons or injuries in the season following their cover appearance.
Real curse or conspiracy theory confirmation bias? We may never know....
@BiggE, back at ya!

Looks like we need a goalie, so why not one who only played in one NHL game, in mop up duty, gave up 1 goal on 2 shots and finished with a GAA of 9.55? And, as an added bonus, he played for the Flyers!
Jerome John Mrazek (born October 15, 1951) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockeygoaltender who played in one NHL game for the Philadelphia Flyers during the 1975–76 NHL season. He played for three seasons with the University of Minnesota-Duluth. He also played in the IHL and AHL.
So why ol Jerome? Well, besides the cool beard and the fact that he played guitar, his nickname was “Moses” And, who knows? We may need someone to lead our wandering through the Quackverse and someone who can part a sea or two.
Levels kids, levels.
@BernieParent , the Firesticks, sadly, are on the clock again

That was way harsh, Bern.
Worst of all, you took it as myth, meaning that it doesn't and can't exist in the Quackverse as a real thing. I was going to will it into existence through the Dealer's Choice, then pick up an aging 1st ballot HOFer that's still on the board, and then use the FoY to get him back into his prime.

Apparently Mrazek also commanded the 14th Alabama Fusiliers during the Civil War.
