HockenTonk Attitude
Its my annual call for help with naming my Fantasy Football team.
Its a league that is ran by a few friends that work at a local radio station. So the team name has to be music influenced.
This year I hope to pay tribute to the late Joe Diffie (RIP) who passed from COVID.
Here is my team:
Jalen Hurts
Aaron Jones
Najee Harris
Terry McLaurin
Justin Jefferson
Diontae Johnson
TJ Hockenson
Damien Harris
Corey Davis
Javonte Williams
My Best ideas:
1) Bigger than the Bengals - Bigger than the Beatles is one of my favourite Diffie Songs and we have a Bengals fan in the league.
2) Higher than the Eagles - This is an actual line from the song mentioned above.
3) Third Down from the Sun - Third Rock From the Sun is Diffie's best song - so replaceing Third Rock with Third Down.
4) Third Rock from the Hockenson - Same song as above - but with a player name.

12 Team, H2H, Keep 6 (in Bold)
G, A, Pts, PPP, FW, SOG, Hits, Blocks
W, Saves, S%, GAA, Game Started
2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 1Util, 2G, 5BN, 2IR, 1IR+, 1NA
C: Horvat, Trocheck
LW: J. Robertson, Byfield (C), Guenther
RW: Pavelski (C), Giroux (C), Svechnikov (LW)
D: Fox, Makar, Bouchard, Morrissey, Gudas
Util: Meier (LW, RW)
G: Oettinger, Georgiev, Samsonov, Woll
I like the Third Down From The Sun the best but it does lose points for not having a player name in it.
Whole Lotta Jones based on Whole Lotta Gone would be my only suggestion
Jefferson Airplane Hurts. (But maybe just cuz I’m in seat 14F right now). LOL. Or maybe Hurts to Jefferson Airplane.
Davonte Hurts My Hockenson?

I voted Higher than the Eagles because:
1. It's an actual lyric, not just a riff on one, as you noted.
2. You're hoping your team finishes higher than the Eagles did last year, or are likely to this year.
3. Being a PenguinHunter there's a chance you are an Eagles fan.
Personally, my favorite song varies a bit.
Other options for title riffs:
Prop Me Up ... In the endzone, Beside the goalpost/pylon, etc.
John Deere Screen
Bigger Than the Beagles (derogatory nickname popular in Philly for the football team when bad)
Pickup Firsts, Yards, etc.
In Your Own Backfield ( better for an IDP league)
Sadly, you don't have Gronk, otherwise, Gronky Tonk Attitude would be the winner.
