Welcome Back Football! (you’ve been missed)
Friday September 1, 2006 at 12:35 am | Filed under Sports
I’m in two fantasy football leagues this season again, one with family, and one with friends. Both should be a lot of fun. In the family league we’ve adopted a Star Trek meets Football theme for the team names. Here’s are examples of some that were thought up (I can’t take credit for the ones with asterisks. I’m only so much of a geek, you know) :
Go Long & Prosper
The Ghahgck Straps*
Jean Luc Pic-Off*
Warp Drive*
The Away Team*
Offense 8472
Worf and Long
Riker the Hiker
Training Ocampa
4th and 7 of 9
The Fighting NCC-1701s
Go for Tuvok
Darmak and Jalad in the Endzone
I’m a Dr. not a QB!
The Post Pattern Buffers
He’s Benched, Jim
So I’ll leave you with this note: Here’s what I found today when looking at one of my drafted players’ status updates…
“The Associated Press reports New York Giants DE Michael Strahan (groin) went down on the first series of the team’s preseason game Thursday, Aug. 31, in obvious pain after a tackle. It looked serious for a minute, but the team later said he was kicked in the groin.”
Oh.. good. For a minute there I thought it was SERIOUS! (ouch.)
