Keith Tyser, Mark and Son: is ARC-3 cooking up Team Turducken?
The Gossip Wire · Unconfirmed
Put down the leaderboard and pick up the house phone. According to an unconfirmed tip supplied by Mark Barney, Keith Tyser’s team is said to be in talks about joining forces with Mark Barney, Son Pham and Ronen for an ARC-3 super team. Talks are unconfirmed. A completed merger has not been established. But the naming drama? We can get to work on that.
The naming drama
Two possibilities have reached the gossip desk: ARCitators and Team Turducken. The former sounds ready to chair a very tense committee. The latter sounds like a duck has acquired a duck, which has acquired another duck, and nobody has told the competition organizers which one is in charge.
No final name is known. So, in the proud tabloid tradition of getting extravagantly dressed before knowing whether there is a party, the Digest offers twenty more. These are our inventions—not leaked contenders from the negotiating table.

Our entirely unsolicited vote
Our entirely unsolicited vote: Team Allegedly until the paperwork catches up, Team Turducken if the branding department has a sense of humor. Until then, keep the champagne on ice and the team-name field editable.
