Are You Ready For Some Football!

Now with the World Cup done and over with for a while now. We can officially move on to what we Americans call football. And with this comes everybody’s favorite office time waster after playing solitaire and tweeting; managing a fantasy football team.

Of course, before you can manage a team, you have to come up with a team name.

What I found out in my research. Yes that’s what I’m calling it! - is fantasy football team names can be funny, odd and occasionally crude. But many play off there favorite team or player. Such as Favre Dollar Foot Longs, Aaron\s Lve, Cabbage Packers Kids, Lambeau Leaping Lizards, Pimpin Ain't Breesy and Packinators.

Another direction people take is using a pop culture reference from a TV show, movie or a song. Here are a few examples that I found when “researching” Benny and the Jets, Breesuss my homeboy, Don’t get your jock strap in a bunch. Run Forest Run, Yippy Ki Yay, Marshall Fauker and Got Jock Itch.

Then there are just the plain odd ones. Like they are part of an inside joke. I can’t help but think they want to make it hard to have a league trophy engraved, if this was in deed the case. Would they proudly display that trophy on there fire place mantel that read “Oxpuke” at the end of the season for everyone to see.

And to tell you the truth these odd ones were the ones to make me laugh the most. And in my research that's right still calling it research. I found a few that did just that. Multiple Scorgasms, STD’s - Score Touch Downs, Please be 18, Ninja Rabbits, Give Me Some of Those French Fries, I Didn't Give you Crabs, Ass Hat, Warm Glass of Shut The Hell Up, and Angry Drunken Dwarves.

This will be my second year doing a fantasy football. I’ve noticed that I pay more attention to football games because I’m going research. In the past I would read a book when watching a game. Not anymore I’m watching to see what players I should pick up for the next week.

I have a lot at stake with this season. I just hope I’m not dead last. A friend and I have a bet going on. He thinks I’m going to be dead last and if I do. I have to wear a shirt with his face on it a get a photo taken with me wearing it. Not so bad, Wrong! This photo then will be my facebook photo for the whole year. Thanks again Josh!

I myself didn’t go with any of the directions listed above. I just simply named my “A Black Sheep.”

Whatever you pick for your team name. Make sure you have some fun.
