Fantasy football team name draft

bacon.jpgWe’ll be heading out to Chaska soon, so we wanted a subject that could sustain throughout out the afternoon while we sweat like a [redacted] in church out on the course.

That subject, clearly, is fantasy football team names.

Everyone wants to be the most clever. But only some succeed. While talking to a friend of the RandBall Better Half last night, she misunderstood something we said and asked if we had said, “Victory Bacon.”

We said that wasn’t what we had said. But we also said that sounded like a splendid fantasy football team name for the RandBall League.

So: Let’s hear your best new fantasy football team names. Also: those in the RandBall (and RandBall Lite) leagues: when are we drafting and where? Roughkat is on the clock to solve this thing.

I’m trying to reverse my curses by talking about them in my team names

Ex:
“Cursed by Management” - Which refers both to my team and my life post-promotion

“Worse than the Madden Curse” was another

It’s in bad taste but a buddy of mine and I were talking the other day and I stated my desire to ‘murder the competition while they slept.’ Immediately I thought of the McNair incident and after a quick google search to find her name. Thus my fantasy name is “Sahel Kazemi.”

roughkat’s from the RandBall league last year is hard to top: Pugs Not Drugs (accompanied, IIRC, by a picture of a pug dressed like Darth Vader)

This year I will be going with the Shoe Horns and CopperHounds for my team names.

Also if there is vacancy in the Randball Lite League count me in.

Best one I ever read was 2 Manning 1 Cup. I just don’t see that topped. I’m going with Whispering Eye for my league

latte-

I think Clarence for COW has already been taken by Clarence’s FFB team…(egomaniac.)

Also, have you heard yet from last year’s lite winner? Or does that fall to 2nd place? (Neither of which is me, but I am curious.)

@newbie

If JRG (last year’s RandBall Lite winner) does not wish to participate I’d vote that we try the promotion and relegation idea again in 2010. The Hootie finished second. Does he still come around these parts?

newbie says:

August 14th, 2009 at 12:49 pm

but latte, that would in no way punish Dave for his ineptitudes!

Also, Hootie does still check in, but his new job does not allow for it as often.

I’ll bite, what’s the apostrophe in front of Hos for?

AZGopherGirl says:

I used the apostrophe to fill in for the missing w of whores. But I didn’t use another apostrophe to compensate for the missing re because it would have looked like the possessive form. Sometimes I over-think.

For those of you who aren’t following me on Twitter (FearlessP, holler!), I just got my first glimpse of The Proprietor during TNT’s coverage of the PGA. He was holding a clipboard over his crotch while watching Tiger save par on the 12th. He’s really into this!
