Post Your Favorite Fantasy Football Team Name

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?

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

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.”

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.

“Cankle Fetishists”

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

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.

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.

Heh. Before he became Pope, he was known to some critics as “Das Panzerkardinal.” :smiley:

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

“Two Mannings, One Cup”

This year: Flaming Yawns

Last year: Thick Gray Dust Shoe Won Hurt

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

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)

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

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

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

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.

I stole it from a Kissing Suzy Kolber thread.
