SIMPSONS REFERENCE IN LIEU OF JOKE SUFFERS HISTORIC DROP TO SECOND-MOST UNORIGINAL THING ON LIST: CBS Sports just released its list of most common fantasy baseball team names. Are you an Evil Empire? A Ball or Slump Buster? A reference to performance-enhancing drugs? You are not alone. I'm sad to say, by the way, that "Beverly Hills-Adjacent Street Parkers of Greater Fairyland" didn't crack the top 100.

That's a fun list. Nice to see Lollygaggers on there. Damn, I love Bull Durham.
ReplyDeleteLittle Lebowski Urban Achievers make the list, but no variation of the much-used-by-me Urban Shockers does. (Suburban Shockers, Rural Shockers, True Dreams of Wichita Shockers) ...
ReplyDeleteI am one league with several of those names. Fortunately "Farmer Hoggett's Lean Bacon" doesn't appear on the list, so I can still be snobby and all indie rock.
ReplyDeleteSee the WSJ's (oddly confusing) treament of the subject last week:

ReplyDelete"Lollygaggers!"
I don't have a fantasy baseball team, but will admit to using a Simpsons reference for my fantasy football team the past few years (Football in the Groin). It may not be that original, but on the other hand, it's got a football in the groin.
ReplyDeleteMine is a reference to a Supreme Court justice. I feel smug.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it's about time to retire the Oregon Donors name I came up with a few years back.
ReplyDeleteAre you in that one league with You Look Mahvelous, Sexy Time, Isn't That Special, So I Got That Goin' For Me, Dr. Rosenpenis, You Stay Classy San Diego, More Cowbell, and Where's the Beef?
ReplyDeleteNot being in a league, I liked the new-to-me Honey Nut Ichiros and Jeters Never Prosper.
