Too early for a team name with Saquon Barkley?

Postby SFdude » Wed Dec 27, 2017 8:32 am

So far, all I can come up with is:

1. Barkley at the Crabtree
2. Say Say-Say what Hue Want (but rather he not end up with the Browns)

What can you guys come up with?
Team #1: FFPC (12 teams, PPR; TE premium; 20 players, 16 during off-season)

•Matt Ryan, Ryan Fitzpatrick
•Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, Devonta Freeman, Damien Williams, Darwin Thompson, Ito Smith, Raheem Mostert, Gus Edwards, Darrel Williams, DeAndre Washington
•Michael Thomas, Davante Adams, Brandin Cooks, Jarvis Landry, Randall Cobb
•Hunter Henry, OJ Howard, Eric Ebro
•Harrison Butker
•Denver Def, LA Rams

In my humble opinion, player themed team names are lame...especially in dynasty.

This is exactly where my mind went... So if you do this have you created an unwritten rule that you are not allowed to trade the player?
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

Albeit a bit harsh, I tend to agree with these guys. I prefer themes for leagues to dictate team names. And to answer your question skip, I have a league that started last season, a team’s name was “Lake-O-Gurleys” he then traded Gurley just before the deadline, he then changed his name to “Cousins and Company” fast forward to the deadline this season, and what do you know he moved Cousins.

I guess I didn't mean to imply I thought they were "lame" just that I've never considered using a team named after a player. That just seems odd when the player may not be on the roster for anything more than the short term.

I disagree. If you trade the player, you just change your team name. I still enjoy player-themed team names even for dynasty, but to each their own. As for OP's question, "Barkley's Worse Than His Bite" off the top of my head.

I don't mind them, gives me a bit if a laugh. I once had Ertz and Ant Barr. "Barr up so hard it Ertz" was my name for a while, dropped Barr and changed it. It's all for fun at the end of the day

Someone in one of my leagues named his team "About to Kareem my pants". I think that may be the best original name I've seen so far in my leagues.
