Suggestions for your fantasy football team name

Washington Redskins NFL football quarterbacks Kirk Cousins (8) and Colt McCoy (16) throw passes during practice Monday, Aug. 4, 2014, in Richmond, Va. (AP Photo/Jay Paul) — **Captain Kirk to McCoy** Here you go, Redskins fans. Two years ago it was RGThreezus. Last year it was Robert Griffin the Turd. If you鈥檙e ready to mix it up a little, why not instead opt for a celebration of the other quarterbacks on the roster? 鈥淐aptain Kirk to McCoy,鈥� as suggested by 海角精品黑料鈥檚 own Dave Preston, showcases both backups through an easily recognizable Star Trek reference. That鈥檚 good fantasy team-naming right there. (AP Photo/Jay Paul)

The Washington Football Team Here you go, Redskins haters. While you should never name your fantasy team after an actual team (which is a real thing that WAY too many people do 鈥� seven of the top 30 most popular names were literally actual team names), this is a devious way to get away with it. Want to be the object of scorn and fury in your league? The never-ending name debate will probably rage on for the rest of the decade or until the NFL finally steps in to force Dan Snyder鈥檚 hand, whichever comes first. Until then, enjoy your antagonism.

Houston Texans' J.J. Watt (99) before an NFL preseason football game between the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, Saturday, Aug. 22, 2015, in Houston. (AP Photo/Patric Schneider) — **Watt me Whip, Watt me J.J.** Whatever you do, do not name your team 鈥淭urn Down for Watt.鈥� Not only is it not original, it was literally the , non-Ray Rice division from last season. If you do want to pay homage to the reigning defensive player of the year, try a different Watt-based alternative. The clever 1.21 J.J. Watts is timeless, but may be a bit played out as well (AP Photo/Patric Schneider)

San Francisco 49ers' Colin Kaepernick (7) throws against the San Francisco 49ers during the first half of an NFL preseason football game, Saturday, Aug. 15, 2015, in Houston. (AP Photo/George Bridges) — **#7and9SeasonsComing** Colin Kaepernick is a mediocre NFL quarterback who doesn鈥檛 know how to use hashtags, as evidenced by his creation of #7tormsComing 鈥� it uses a 鈥�7,鈥� which looks nothing like an 鈥淪鈥� 鈥撀爄n a highly flawed attempt to integrate his jersey number into some sort of ominous message. Kaepernick鈥檚 team, The San Francisco 49ers, are a twice proud franchise that fired the coach responsible for their recent resurgence, then saw half their team either retire early, succumb to injury, or run their way out of the league through off-the-field legal issues. Plus, they play their home games on more than 40 miles from San Francisco. Come to think of it, 7-9 may be an optimistic projection. (AP Photo/George Bridges)

Brady's four-game suspension for his role in using underinflated footballs during the AFC championship game last season has been upheld by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Want to make yours stand out? Work a not-so-subtly-hidden message into it. This works with other names and hidden words as well, but come on 鈥� if you鈥檙e going this route, you鈥檙e probably trying to make a 鈥渂alls鈥� joke anyway. This is the balls joke construction you鈥檙e looking for. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa, Pool)

Philadelphia Eagles' Tim Tebow passes during the second half of a preseason NFL football game against the Indianapolis Colts, Sunday, Aug. 16, 2015, in Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Michael Perez) — **Fly Tebow Fly** So long as Tim Tebow is in the NFL, there is room for fantasy teams with his name on them. Heck, even if Chip Kelly cuts him next week this play on the Eagles鈥� slogan will work this year. It鈥檚 shaping up to be a carnival of a year in the City of Brotherly Love, especially if Kelly ends up rolling with four quarterbacks and using Tebow as some sort of trick play/two-point conversion specialist. Enjoy this entertainment as long as it lasts. (AP Photo/Michael Perez)

An architectural rendering for a new NFL stadium is projected during a lunch sponsored by the Los Angeles Sports Council downtown Los Angeles Monday, Aug. 17, 2015. The $1.7-billion new NFL football stadium proposed for Carson by the owners of the San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders will be located 15 miles from West Los Angeles, 10 miles from Orange County and 12 miles from downtown. The stadium's capacity will be 65,000 and can be increased to 75,000 for the Super Bowl. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes) — **Carson Chargers** Got any San Diego fans in your league? This is a good way to get under their skin. With the Chargers, Raiders and Rams all threatening to move to Los Angeles, adding any credence to the idea is a laudable way to dig deeply at their supporters. With the Carson site looking like the most promising for an actual stadium, the alliterative word play works nicely. All three teams have spent time in LA, but the Chargers were only there for a season and have been in San Diego since 1961, so this one cuts the deepest. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)

National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell attends the Pro Football Hall of Fame Gold Jacket Ceremony in Canton, Ohio, Thursday, Aug. 6, 2015. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar) — **The Ginger Ham-fist** Roger Goodell has had a less than ideal calendar year. From underreacting, then overreacting, to generally blatantly disregarding the basic principles of double jeopardy and leveling ex post facto punishments on a whim, he鈥檚 made plenty of enemies and exposed the league鈥檚 disciplinary program as being a largely arbitrary, unregulated system. Known as The Ginger Hammer for his harsh discipline aimed at players early in his tenure, this variation feels more appropriate. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)
