What I can't believe is that no one else had the Kohones to make an effort on these. Maybe too much for the bunch.

16. They opposed the Roundheads. The Cavaliers. Goes back to the English Civil War in the 1600s. The Cavaliers were royalists who supported King Charles I, and the Roundheads supported Cromwell and Parliament. Cavaliers got their name from the Spanish "caveleros" who were adventurers. Roundheads came from the shape of the helmet they wore. There were a number of bloody battles between the Cavaliers and the Roundheads.
The following clues will be called "Thesarus Team Names". Give the appropriate team(s) to match (hint: all NFL):
17. The Jingoists...The Patriots
18. The Brobdingnagians The Giants or the Titans. Comes from Gulliver's Travels. (the Giants as opposed to the Lilliputians who were the little people)
19. The Grampus...no, this is not the team that Brett Favre happens to play for. Grampus is a species of Dolphins.
20. The Aries Rams from the Zodiac sign
21. The Corsairs could be either Vikings, Buccaneers, or Raiders. Corsairs were a sort of pirate.
22. The Postilians The Cowboys. Postilians are 'horsmen", though it could be riders in an English hunt or any kind of horseman.
23. The Grimalkins Panthers, Lions, Jaguars, or Bengals. Grimalkins are a sort of big cat.
24. The Aithochrous(es) The Browns. Aithochrous is a sort of reddish brown. Probably just like the color of these answers I am giving.
25. The Ecclisiasts The Saints, or The Cardinals. Both churchy types, nay?
