    There you go - it's a good name. And I've noticed that Hedberg has been dropped - you should pick him up.

    I'm a big fan of mashing player names into songs/tv/pop culture in general. Last year I used The Fear Boners for most of my teams. The name comes from the show, "The League", which is one of my favourite shows.

    Not sure about this year yet, I still have to get my creative juices back into fantasy season.

    I've won two championships as "Poppin' Don's Cherry", so I'm kinda partial to that one.

    I started using various SlapShot references years ago:
    * Ogie Oglethorpe's Afro
    * Reg Dunlop's Leather Pants
    * McCracken's Dr Hook

    (It's kind of a Chicago Sportsradio thing. Callers into talk shows on 670 the Score tend to give themselves weird nicknames: 'Hawk Harrelson's EyePatch', 'Dave Wannstadt's Moustache,' etc)

    Some of the other guys picked up on it, and they've gone with
    * FLA Snatch By The Pool
    * Mile 40 Saskatchewan

    Names I've wanted to use but haven't yet:
    * Original Six Pack
    * Crosby, Staals and Nash (wouldn't feel right without having them)

    Mentioned this in the Breaking Bad thread, but my league ended up adopting a Breaking Bad theme simply because when I created the league I couldn't think of a cool name...and I was watching BB at the time lol. That's how my league ended up with the name "Dumbledore" last year.

    Anyway, some of the team names in the league so far:

    Skyler Bozak
    Antoine Vermeth
    Tuukka Salamanca
    ASAC Schroeder
    Aki Heisenberg
    Need for Smid
    Letestube Babies

    The last two aren't really Breaking Bad related but are related to the themes of the show. I'm trying to convince more members of the league to embrace

    For the Experts League I went with Daoust Dynasty. Not because of the TV show. Because I plan to win.
