Congratulations once again to the geniuses that populate the Columbus and Toronto F.C. marketing departments! Not only did you fine creative wunderkinds create a meaningless rivalry where one failed to exist, outside of the Big Soccer message boards. Not only did you decide to designate said meaningless rivalry with a Cup, thus creating more where nothing once was (laws of nature be damned!). Those feats alone would warrant a head-slapping guffaw from most of us confused souls.
But now? You've outdone even our most absurd calculations. You managed to give the Columbus-Toronto Rivalry "Cup" a name which will surely drive even the most tolerant and accepting Crew fans to scratch their heads in bewilderment.
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the Trillium Cup.

And in case you're wondering, that flower is a Trillium. That's right, the cup that two of the worst teams in MLS last year will be playing for is named after a flower. Seriously, couldn't a monkey throwing feces on a wall have produced something better than this?
