More Tips for Naming Your Fantasy Football Team

Here are ten ideas for naming your 2010 fantasy football team something besides Bubba's Buttkickers or some such unoriginal tripe. After all, much of the fun derived from fantasy football comes from clever or original team names and making fun of your opponents fantasy football squad.

Of course nothing makes fantasy football as much fun as winning games and ultimately a fantasy football championship. These tips can't help you do that, but they can make the name more fun and get the fantasy football season off to a good start, setting the tone, if you will.

Here are ten ideas for giving your fantasy football team a snappy name for the 2010 NFL football season.

If, for instance, you are fortunate enough to draft Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans or Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans (you're very unlikely to get both) you could call your fantasy football team the Magic Johnsons.

If former Titan and Bronco running back Travis Henry, he of the fourteen children or however many it is, (with about as many mothers) was to come out of retirement, that moniker would work as well.

Here are a few original fantasy football team names I have run across and I will add a few suggestions of my own later.

Victorious Secret. Urine Trouble. Parole Models. That one is especially relevant if you have Cincinnati Bengals on your fantasy football team. With Tank Johnson, Pacman Jones, Matt Jones and other Bengals having run afoul of the law in the past and locker room malcontents such as T.O. and Antonio Bryant having joined the Cincinnati team, things in Cincy could get interesting in 2010.

Here are some of my own suggestions if you are looking for an original name for your fantasy football team.

If you are a Baltimore Raven fan or if you draft receiver Anquan Boldin in your fantasy football draft, how about The Boldin The Beautiful or Em-Boldin-ed?

If like most of us, you are disgusted by former BP CEO Tony Hayward, how does Carry On My Hayward Son (Of A B!#@%) grab you? That might help the poor downtrodden public relations disaster "get his life back."

Dog lovers with a sense of humor could name their fantasy football team Who Let The Vicks out?

With Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger's recent off the field problems, how about calling your fantasy football team Big Ben's Dating Service or the Pittsburgh Love Stealers?

While we're on the subject of troubled QBs, you could call your fantasy football team the JaMarc-BUST Russell's Purple Reign or some other variation using the word "purple." If Russell ever resurfaces in the NFL, don't look for the Vikings to enter the fray. Russell might try to wring juice from the purple jerseys.

Not since Jane Russell has there been a Russell associated with the term "bust" as much as this guy. With his weight ballooning further, the former Raiders' QB might need a Bro with the same cup size as the bosomy actress of the 40s and 50s.

If you're a fan of Mike Martz or the Chicago Bears how about calling your fantasy team Mike Martz' Air Fartz? With Martz joining the Bears as offensive coordinator, the former author of the "Greatest Show On Turf" should enliven the Bears offense in 2010 unless Jay Cutler "causes a stink" by leading the NFL in INTs again.

Speaking of Jay Cutler, you could name your fantasy team Cutler's PickSix or The Cutler Did It. Bear fans could also go for the Gould Standard after the team's kicker whose name is pronounced "gold."

After Miami Dolphin GM Jeff Ireland made news by asking receiver Dez Bryant at the NFL combine if his mother was a prostitute, fantasy football fans could name their team Ireland's Escort Service or the Ireland Diplomats.

For New York Jet fans, possible fantasy football team names are The $#!# Rex Ryan Says after the new CBS sitcom coming this fall or, if things this season turn bad, the N.Y. Train Rex or Revis & Butthead.

That should give you some ideas for naming your fantasy football team in 2010. If none of the above (at least ten) suggestions strike your fancy, you could always go for Bengal Bail Bonds, Irrtbl Vwl Sndrm or The Rise of Levi's Johnston after the father of Sarah Palin's grandchild who has an on-again-off-again relationship with Bristol Palin.
