If you're a fantasy football player, you may be the type of person who tries to come up with a funny fantasy football team name only to discover that yours is pretty lame compared to others in your league. Fear not, oh lame one, because a good team name will no longer be an issue after you digest this list of funny fantasy football team names. If you lack wit and originality, you'll now have some good team names to choose from.

The best funny fantasy football names can be broken down into three general categories. Each will be explained along with some example names.

  1. NFL players and coaches team names: These names are usually puns on players' names or of events which have occurred in the National Football League that can be lampooned. One good combination is of player names combined with movie titles. Examples of these NFL-related types of names are: Forgetting Brandon Marshall, Snakes on Reggie Wayne, Cry Me a Rivers, Somewhere Over the Tebow, A$$ Kicking Is My Forte, Bill Belichick's Video Rentals, Steve Breastonlargement, Tom Cable's Punch Out, White Cassel, Okung Fu Fighting, The Big Janikowski, Brady Gaga.
  2. Scandalized athlete of the moment team names: Last year, the big winners (or rather, losers) were Eagles quarterback Mike Vick (dog fighting scandal) and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (accused of rape). Many clever, but cruel, team names arose from these players' troubles with the law. Examples are: (Vick) Kibbles and Vicks, Mike Vick in a Box, Who Let the Dogs Drown, Da ConVICKt (Roethlisberger) Tittsburgh Feelers, Big Ben’s TV Repair, Ben Rapelisberger (ouch), Big Ben's Bathroom Bonanza.
  3. Dirty team names: Make sure you know what type of league you're in before you use any fantasy football team name that has sexual connotations. If it's a family league, forget about it. But if it's you and a bunch of adults, go for it if you feel comfortable. Here are some illustrations of this form of funny fantasy football team names: Multiple Scorgasms, You Dumb Punt, Romosexual Tendencies, Mark’s Dirty Sanchez, The Cleveland Steamers, Got Teabagged?, Pigskins and Foreskins, Suck My Vick.
