TBGKon Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Note: If this is in the wrong section, then please move it.I am in the process of creating my first custom fantasy football team. I have used Yahoo! fantasy football, but want to have a more real football feel. I am keeping my eye on all NFL-based leagues here on the CCSLC and waiting for them to post expansion applications. But I have a slight peoblem, I want to base my team in the Tampa Bay area (where I'm from) but can't decide on a name. If you all could come up with a few ideas, I will then creat a poll for you all to vote on the best one. Thanks again for your help.-Garrett K.

rmackman Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 How about the Burns' Steaks. That's some good eats right there in Tampa! "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Stephanie. That's a good name.If you don't mind going with a pirate theme, I've always thought Corsairs or Privateers would be good names. There's also Generals - a good tie in considering Tampa is the HQ for a very large army command center as well as an air force base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 The St. Pete Pontiffs would be an interesting moniker. Could have a pope motif... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I had a "Florida Flamingos" in one of my leagues once. Though the teal and pink color scheme was kind of hard to take, it was original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
