![]() ![]() I know I would have considered the Turtles a more interesting bunch if Newton replaced Donatello. ![]() Teenage Newton Ninja Turtles Even if you thought the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were ridiculous cartoon characters that made for god-awful comic books, television shows and video games, sticking Carolina’s Cam Newton’s name in the middle was a clever touch. If you want to compare your Johnson to someone else’s, chances are you are going to win with this one. The Johnson referred to in this team name is obviously Detroit’s Calvin Johnson, and “Megatron” yielded mega-numbers in 2012 by setting the single-season record for receiving yards with 1,964 yards. My Johnson is a Megatron This team name has it all-double meaning, sexual innuendo, bravado-not to mention it is hysterical and also is a blanket statement in case other fantasy owners might think this owner’s Johnson was Houston’s Andre or Tennessee’s Chris. ![]() So playing on the Foster’s company slogan of “Foster’s: Australian For Beer” was an innovative touch. Houston’s Arian Foster was certainly one of the premier players in fantasy football again this year, so he definitely deserved a team named after him in fantasy leagues. The country is also famous for its Foster’s Lager, and the beer has probably been enjoyed by many a fantasy owner during a football Sunday. I Run So Far With Ray Rice!” Foster: Australian For Touchdown Australia is not only known for giving us Yahoo Serious, Men at Work and Nicole Kidman. Maybe his team name next year will be “And I Run. The ironic twist is this name was used by a division winner from one of my leagues that did not even have Flacco on his roster. So here are eight fantasy football team names that made us laugh in 2012: Joe Flacco’s Seagulls This interesting mix of a mediocre fantasy quarterback (Baltimore’s Joe Flacco) and a one-hit-wonder rock band from the 80's (A Flock of Seagulls) made me chuckle as much as I did when I would watch Green Bay’s Mason Crosby badly shank a field goal attempt. And while some go with boring names such as Manning’s Men, The Overachievers and I Like Touchdowns, many others concoct names that are more creative than a Mike Shanahan offense. Fantasy football owners are definitely a creative bunch, and they get to show off their creativity by naming their fantasy teams. There are millions of fantasy football owners out there who could use a good laugh after how their dreadful seasons ended, and one of the quicker ways to turn their frowns upside down is by thinking about the team names from some of their fantasy leagues this year. ![]()
