Before we get started, I feel I must confess something–I hate football. Hate. I play Fantasy Football for the competitiveness only–and I am very competitive! I am so competitive that I want to “win” the non-contest (it exists only in my head) of coolest team name. First off, we are a bunch of geeks who play. Everything we do is geeky so keep that in mind. We make our team names themed each year. First year, it was \*Firefly/Serenity. \*My team name: \*Black Market Beagles. \* Second year, the theme was Cthulhu. My team name: \*Dunwich Horrors. \* This year, the theme is the Old West/Wild West. I’ve batted around two or three names (mostly western genre film-related) but I am going to the best source for awesome creativity and humor I know–the Teeming Masses. So, tell me, what would you call your team if you were me? ---
