Everybody loves fantasy football season. You can to win a little extra coin, but it's more than that. You want bragging rights over your friends. You want to show everybody how much you know about football.

Another fun aspect is coming up with a cool fantasy team name. You want to make your friends laugh and/or groan. Now that Mother's Day is behind us, attacks on mothers with a team name become quite prevalent. 

Just make sure you keep it fresh. Michael Vick ones were old last year. Using them this year will show how out of touch you are. Anything Charlie Sheen related was good when fantasy baseball started, but the jokes are old. 

With some thought, you can craft a winning fantasy football team name. I know, I threw that out there to illustrate how the Charlie Sheen lines have become dated.

20. Texas Chainsaw Massaquoi

Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Cleveland's Mohamed Massaquoi. See how the play on words works?

19. Eli-the Other White Manning

Pork the other white meat is a popular is a popular advertising slogan for the pork industry. Eli Manning, is the other Manning in terms of popularity and production. They merge together to form this controversial team name. 

18. Corn on the Schaub

DENVER - DECEMBER 26:  Quarterback Matt Schaub #8 of the Houston Texas looks on against the Denver Broncos at INVESCO Field at Mile High on December 26, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. The Broncos defeated the Texans 24-23.  (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Image

Matt Schaub was a popular choice in fantasy team name circles. His name will resurface in this list, but this one is so good you have to lick your fingers.

17. Favre Dollar Footlongs

Brett Favre is another guy with multiple entries. This one is a popular play on Subway's slogan.

16. Breakin 2 Electric Legedu

If you grew up in the eighties, how can you not like this marriage of Legedu Naanee and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.

15. Two Mannings, One Cup

INDIANAPOLIS - SEPTEMBER 19:  Eli Manning #10 of the New York Giants and Peyton Manning #18 of the Indianapolis Colts embrace following the Colts 38-14 win at Lucas Oil Stadium on September 19, 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana.  (Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Im

This one is about as offensive as it gets...if you know where the name is derived from. I'll leave it at that.

14. Show Me Your TDs

Simple and enough of a twist to make that team owner feel witty. It's far from ingenious, but popular enough to make the list.

13. A Rivers Runs Suh It

You'll probably see a lot of Ndamukong Suh names this year. This Suh-Philip Rivers combo was one of my favorites.

12. The Godfavre

This one came to light last year after he murdered opposing defense. After last year, you may see someone use The Grandfavre. 

11. A Kolb Day in Hell

PHILADELPHIA, PA - JANUARY 02:  Kevin Kolb #4 of the Philadelphia Eagles is sacked by DeMarcus Ware #94 of the Dallas Cowboys on January 2, 2011 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Cowboys defeated the Eagles 14-13.  (Photo by Ji
Jim McIsaac/Getty Images

This one only works if you pronounce Kevin Kolb's name like it looks rather than how it sounds. 

At the time it sounded like a cool name, but it became an accurate description of how Kolb's season went. 

10. Forgetting Brandon Marshall

MIAMI - DECEMBER 26: Wide receiver Brandon Marshall #19 of the Miami Dolphins is brought down by linebacker DeAndre Levy #54 of the Detroit Lions at Sun Life Stadium on December 26, 2010 in Miami, Florida. The Lions defeated the Dolphins 34-27.  (Photo by

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a pretty funny movie. The NFL wishes the fans could forget some of Brandon Marshall's off-the-field issues.

9. Dezzie Does Dallas

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - NOVEMBER 14:  Dez Bryant #88 of the Dallas Cowboys runs the ball against the New York Giants on November 14, 2010 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.  (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)

Going old school with this one combining Dez Bryant with a popular seventies adult film.

8. Revis and Butthead

If you watched MTV in the nineties you are quite familiar with Beavis and Butthead.  “I am the GreatCornholio! I need TP for my bunghole!" Obviously Darrelle Revis is the former. Bart Scott can be the latter. 

7. Ix-Nay on the Heyward-Bey

SAN DIEGO - DECEMBER 05:  Darrius Heyward-Bey #85 of the Oakland Raiders is pursued by Larry English #52 of the San Diego Chargers in the second quarter at Qualcomm Stadium on December 5, 2010 in San Diego, California. The Raiders defeated the Chargers 28

Darrius Heyward-Bey may not have made much of an impact so far, but he inspired a cool fantasy team name.

6. Henne Nut Cheerios

MIAMI - DECEMBER 26: Fans calling for the removal of Quarterback Chad Henne #7 as the Miami Dolphins play against the Detroit Lions at Sun Life Stadium on December 26, 2010 in Miami, Florida. The Lions defeated the Dolphins 34-27. (Photo by Marc Serota/Ge

Chad Henne may not start any time soon, but he has a team name that will live in infamy. 

5. Cassel Greyskull

KANSAS CITY, MO - JANUARY 09:  Quarterback Matt Cassel #7 of the Kansas City Chiefs fakes a hand-offagainst the Baltimore Ravens in their 2011 AFC wild card playoff game at Arrowhead Stadium on January 9, 2011 in Kansas City, Missouri.  (Photo by Dilip Vi

Another popular one for eighties kids; He-Man fans gotta love it.

4. Cooley Than the Other Side of the Pillow

This one is too long for actual use, but it's quite funny nonetheless.

3. Schaub Shank Redemption

There were other X-rated names associated with Matt Schaub, along with number 18 Corn on the Schaub, but this one is my favorite. 

2. ScoobyDrewBreesDoo!

This one still brings a smile to my face.

1. Kibbles and Vicks

PHILADELPHIA, PA - JANUARY 09:  Michael Vick #7 of the Philadelphia Eagles runs down field against Jarius Wynn #94 of the Green Bay Packers during the 2011 NFC wild card playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field on January 9, 2011 in Philadelphia, Pennsylva

I don't condone Michael Vick's actions in any way, but I got a kick out of this team name.

Looking to 2011
