WBAGNFAFFT V

It is late August, so you know what that means.  Time to come up with a name for your Fantasy Football team.  As always I have compiled a list of names they are some of the clean & funny, WBAGNFARB’s* from Dave Barry’s blog over the last year.  This list is not original in any way I just stole them all from Dave Barry. I have done this in the past as well.  Here you can find list 1, list 2, list 3, list 4.  I was not quite as diligent as usual this year, so the list is short, but" Elvis Monkey" is pretty much gold when it comes to naming your team.  I hope you find this useful.

  • Zombie Caterpillars
  • Psychedelic Gecko
  • Elvis Monkey
  • Promiscuous Yeast
  • Decapitating, Rat-Eating Clocks of the Black Forest
  • Blazing Entrails

What I Learned from My First Minor League Game

Greer StadiumLast night I attended my first ever Minor league Baseball game with my church.  I went to Greer stadium in Nashville to see the (AAA) Sounds whip the New Orleans Zephyrs 10-1.  Since it was my first ever minor league game I learned some things and I thought I would share.

  • The Brewers have a potential star coming in Brendan Katin. He had 2 homers, including a grand slam and 7 RBIs
  • Minor league ball has a lot of non-baseball activity. There was literally some giveaway or some fan event in every half-inning
  • McDonald's gives away McDoubles like they are water
  • You want access to a baseball player? Minor league ball is the way to go
  • You want free stuff? Minor league  ball is the way to go.  Two members of our group got t-shirts (stuffed with coupons for McDoubles) and a third should have had a foul ball.
  • You can get A LOT of kettle corn for seven bucks
  • There are really no bad seats in a small baseball park
  • A 15 year old emergency poncho is in pretty much perfect condition provided it has never been taken out of the original plastic
  • The minor leagues will leave a pitcher in for a long time even if he is getting absolutely shelled
  • Everybody likes to watch a little kid dance
  • Technically you can use an Android phone for your fantasy draft, but it is not going to work very well

WBAGNFAFFT III

I have 3 fantasy drafts in the next 2 weeks, so I thought it was time to break out an annual feature of my blog - WBAGNFAFFT.  Each year I post a list of what I think are clever fantasy football team names. Here is list #1 and here is #2.   So what I’ve done for you is to collect all of the clean & funny, WBAGNFARB’s* from Dave Barry’s blog over the last year.  This list is not comprehensive and it is not original.  It’s merely a collection from that blog.

  • Hissing Toilet
  • Weaponized Chili
  • Sausage-Addicted Kookaburra
  • Melon Chaos

I know it's a bit of a short list, but this year has been a bit odd for me.  My routine has been quite shaken, so my list isn't as long as normal.

WBAGNFAFFT

It's August and my blog is nothing if not helpful.  I realize that one major need in this world in August is a clever new fantasy football team name.  There are of course name generators out there, but none I've ever been very satisfied with.  (Although I do like this one pretty well, it came up with "wheat urgency".)  So what I've done for you is to collect all of the clean & funny, WBAGNFARB's* from Dave Barry's blog over the last year or so.

  • Cloned Meat
  • Counterfeit Toothpaste
  • Trojan Dwarf
  • The Potato Conspiracy  (My team name this year is a variation on this one - Lawnmower Conspiracy)
  • Electric Grandmothers
  • Unintentional Buzzcut
  • Thunder Chickens
  • Headbutting Cow
  • Sofa Rash
  • Semi Full of Butter
  • Trans-Weasel
  • Drunken Elk and the Toddler Attack
  • Robot Carp

I plan to continue this feature into the future, So each year I will be posting a similar list, unless blogging disappears or I quit blogging.  Of course I stole this list in its entirety, so you feel free to use anything you find in any way you want.  And if you have a name you particularly enjoy or want to suggest for next year's list, feel free to contribute in the comments section.
