Post Your Favorite Fantasy Football Team Name

[Clovernook]

Last year, I used "Lead Farmers" from the Tropic Thunder movie (the scene where Robert Downey, Jr.'s Australian actor who's deeply in character as a black man opens up with two assault rifles screaming "I'm a lead farmer . . ."

This year, to be topical, I've opted for "Erin Andrews' Mirror." My team's abbreviation is "TNA."

What is your fantasy football team's name? What are some of your favorites?

[Clovernook]

Or "The Mighty Tea Baggers," in honor of the recent tax protests.

[kenobi 65]

I've used "Deflator Mice" for a long time. Silly, in a highbrow sort of way.

In 1994, my team was "The O.J. Simpson Defense Team."

This year, I might go with "Illinois Indicted Governors."

[RetroVertigo]

I don't use it for any of the SDMB leagues, but in a few of my pay leagues my name is, Terry Tate's Office Linebackers . I just loved those commercials.

[Clovernook]

"Cankle Fetishists"

[Mullinator]

Go Go Gadget ________, with the _____ replaced by a random body part from a human physiology text book. This year would be the mighty Uvulas.

[Elendil's Heir]

The Nads. "Go, Nads!"

The Swishy Inbred Monarchs (from an old David Letterman Top Ten list).

The Venezuelan Beaver Cheesemakers.

And just about any phrase that has led some Doper, somewhere, to gleefully post, "Band name!" immediately afterwards.

[VarlosZ]

The Swishy Inbred Monarchs (from an old David Letterman Top Ten list).
Wow, I know that one. It's in a book of Top 10 lists that's been next to the toilet at my Dad's house for about 15 years. Don't remember what the list actually was, but that's a really old one.

Anyway, a few years ago, just after the new Pope took office, a friend of mine named his team the Vatican Wehrmacht. It's a name that only really works if you know that Pope Benedict was in the Hitler Youth, and that the 'W' in "Wehrmacht" sounds like a 'V.' I found it hilarious.

[Elendil's Heir]

Heh. Before he became Pope, he was known to some critics as "Das Panzerkardinal." :D

[SenorBeef]

I don't use it for any of the SDMB leagues, but in a few of my pay leagues my name is, Terry Tate's Office Linebackers . I just loved those commercials.

During the season when I set my smack talk/team message thing every week it's a random Triple T quote.

[UTejas]

"Two Mannings, One Cup"

[Hampshire]

This year: Flaming Yawns

Last year: Thick Gray Dust Shoe Won Hurt

[Sitnam]

'Steel City Hitmen' already have one Super Bowl ring but they're in a rebuilding year after all my contracts expired last year.

[Drain Bead]

Last year, after hearing a sports announcer say that Mike Nugent showed "flashes of consistency," I used that as a team name.

This year, it's McNair: Out (Head)

[Munch]

Does this mean something? Am I supposed to be reading this quickly, like reading "Sofa King We Todd Ed" sounds like "so fucking retarded"?

The Greatest Show On Earth

[MrSquishy]

This year, it's McNair: Out (Head)Ooh, I like that. I might steal it, if you don't mind.

[Philster]

Names I use (the few leagues I have been in require us to use a major city for our teams).

Buffalo Wings
Los Angeles Riots

[HeyHomie]

Mine is Homietown. Anyone get the reference?


The "Homie" part comes from my nickname, which is a derivative of my last name. The "town" part comes from the movie PCU. There's a scene where an ultimate frisbee (or frisbee football or something frisbee-related) game is taking place between the stoners and the militant feminists. The name of the stoners' team is Jerrytown, after Jerry, the captain.

[Drain Bead]

Ooh, I like that. I might steal it, if you don't mind.

I stole it from a Kissing Suzy Kolber thread.

[Taber]

Donte's Torino

[satoridt]

I'm in two leagues with a few other crossover owners. In one league my name is "Now we Know!" and the other is "And knowing is half the Battle!"

[Skammer]

Fumblebees

[Elendil's Heir]

...This year, it's McNair: Out (Head)

Don't get it.

[Clovernook]

Some new ones:

Moose Knuckles
Stimulus Package (you can imagine)
Wasilla Death Panels

and my personal favorite

Jacko's Nightcap

[Hal Briston]

The mighty Rabid Ferrets will be heading to their third 1-On-1 Super Bowl appearance, and their second ring this season (all-new logo (http://www.sirblah.com/1on1pool/2009/players/rabidferrets.htm) this year too)!

[SenorBeef]

From the SDMB Big League, someone is named "Scisscor me timbers", which I was actually going to use last year except that I always use the same name in FF to avoid confusion.

[Hal Briston]

Don't get it.It's how injury status is reported:

Player's name: Status for the next game (Injured area)

Steve McNair is most definitely out (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4306275) with a head injury.

[MadTheSwine]

(the scene where Robert Downey, Jr.'s Australian actor who's deeply in character as a black man


pretending to be a chinese rice farmer

[Hampshire]

The Stepfathers

(because we beat you and you hate us)

[Elendil's Heir]

It's how injury status is reported....

Ah, got it, thanks!

[Clovernook]

pretending to be a chinese rice farmer

He's playing the dude that's playing the dude that used to be the other dude.

[Troy McClure SF]

This year, it's McNair: Out (Head)
Tangentially related, the SF Giants blog McCovey Chronicles' tagline reads "In play: Out(s)." That how MLB Gameday updates a live play before they can get the details out.

[FoieGrasIsEvil]

WashPro My Willy.

The carwash I operate is called Washpro, our little "character guy" is a bowtie wearing little dude named "Willy".

After Jared Allen's comments about the team schism today, I came up with True Favre Waits. Feel free to steal it.

[racer72]

A couple years ago ESPN made me change my team name. Someone did not like the Cleveland Steamers. I changed it to Kapowsin Krappies.
