We do not have a fancy prize for the person with the funniest/cleverest/coolest fantasy football team name out there, but we want to know what you guys are naming your fantasy teams this year.
There always are great, witty fantasy football team names every season, and equally as great is the fodder that provides owners with team-name inspiration. Coming up with a clever or witty team name is one of my favorite things about fantasy football year after year.
While I usually go with something academic, geographic, thematic or from my favorite television show, musician, etc., there are plenty of other ways to go about naming a fantasy team. I want to know how you guys do it, and what you named your fantasy football team this season. Leave your submission in the comments, or send us an email.
We will browse through the submissions, probably select 10 or so, and then post a poll sometime next week to determine the winner. While we do not have a fancy, shiny prize to give out to the winner, at least you will know that you have the best team name ever.
My fantasy football team names this season:
- Kitsunegari: From Japanese, it literally means “Fox Hunt.” Stolen from my favorite television show, The X-Files.
- Massive Hits: Blaine inspired this one on the way to work one morning. Initially, we were referring to the blog getting a lot of traffic, but it sounded cool enough to me to be a fantasy team name.
- Happy Cake Oven: From Sealab 2021. “The secret ingredient is love, damnit.” Funny show.
- Scoober: I play in a league with several fellow ultimate frisbee players. Scoober is a term used for a trick throw. Nothing to see here.
- The Hazean (two leagues): Boring, I know. But I want people to know who I am, and where to find fantasy football info!


















I had a team a few years ago with Marc Bulger on it and called it “Bulgy Like a Moose”? (Super Troopers reference)
