My favourite player name in the league has to be Ryan Fitzfatrick. While some players came close to taking the crown (I am partial to Scrub Kyubee, and my team mate Cesar Millan) it had to be Fitzfatrick.
There is just something so beautiful about the elegant wordplay created by changing a single letter. The simplicity of the change, signifying this isn't your grandfathers Fitzpatrick, this is Fitz after a Twinkie binge after seeing the Jets go 2-14 this coming season. I just love the thought process, you can tell as soon as they made the decision to play in the NSFL, it was going to be a lineman, and it was going to be FitzFat.
It is so subtle on draft day I heard a few people say Fitzpatrick, like the Harvard GOAT was gracing us with his enlightened presence. But no, the big man from Yale comes from no where to bring a sensible chuckle to the hearts and minds of the National Sim Football League. I also gotta say runrunpasspunt is arguably the best username around, so not only do we need to give kudos for Fitzfatrick, but also for runrunpasspunt. Thank you for providing me with a hearty chuckle in the lead up to the draft, and good luck with further puns in the future.
There is a lot of top notch names across the league which deserve a few nods but I feel most of the gems will be covered in this PT by other people so instead I thought I would maybe come up with a few more names for people to use for when they go to create their players for a certain position.
Safety
- Isit On - A short and sweet play on words for the position
- Harambe - Meme central
-
Offensive Line
- Thea Wahl - For stopping all those walkers, or runners
- Hans Uppum - Run blocking master
Running Back
- Do Mestic - Sure to run with the flashing lights start or yelled at
- Thero Bread - Hard to catch this guy when he starts running
Wide Receiver
- Chance Todropit - Not sure he's your best choice for those 1st downs
- Takit Ango - Russel Peters favourite wide Receiver for completing the pass and earning those RAC
Linebacker
- Hitmo Chan - Asian super sacker
- Hitmo Lee - Chans childhood nemesis
Corner Back
-Wight Onrice - Will never break his man to man coverage
- Phatkid Onacake - Another expert at covering his man
Quartback
- Fifftee Scent - Twice the Quarterback that most
- Tew Diemez - Might not live up to expectations at the position
I mean the best name in the league is 100% my teammate Scrub Kyubee. It's absolutely hilarious. When I first read the name I read it as Scrub Kai- yoo - Bee, and then quickly realized his name is Scrub QB. Every single time I see the name it makes me crack up. I mean what are the odds that a guy named Scrub Kyubee would grow up to become a pro bowl quarter back. He's great.
Being on the Offensive Line I've had the some incredible teammate names. Patrick P Pancake is another one that is absolutely great. Pat Pancake was an awesome teammate and his graphics of always putting pancakes over the face of the offensive linemen in the graphic. Another great one is Brokk Lee. Another food based name Brok Lee always makes me laugh. I had a great line consisting of incredible food names.
A couple either great ones on the Hawks are Cooper Christmas (love the Christmas themed name), Darlane Farlane (big fan of a killer rhyme like this), Turk Turkleton (love the repeat, makes me smirk when I read it), and Erasmo Broadway (great first name in Erasmo, and named after the most famous street in the greatest city in the world.)
The two names I like best are Mike Boss and Ethan Hunt. Now I know what you are thinking: What is so special about these two names?! But I can explain.
Ethan Hunt is the main character from the Mission Impossible movies, which is an awesome thing in my eyes. Imagine the backstory! Super secret spy becomes star Quarterback. Just imagine the headlines! It could be so awesome to read backstory of him and to go deeper with that character.
Mike Boss is admittedly a lesser awesome name, but I just really love how it sounds. Could lead to many puns and catchphrases like "Like a Boss" etc. Lots of room for marketing and making a lot of cash off of endorsement deals.
But the real reason is that I have created this fantasy in my head, where Mike Boss and Ethan Hunt are secretly dating and will create a lovechild. A lovechild that will combine their two names and eventually it will make a SUPER Quarterback named Mike Hunt.
Mike Hunt will be amazing. No matter the rain, he will just play even better when he is wet. Let's just hope he won't get pounded by the defense because otherwise he will be sore the next day.
I thought about this PT in the context of which teams have the best concentration of awesome names. And, like usual, the top spot belongs to my Arizona Outlaws. One thing that is KEY when picking a name is it's gotta fit the position, and we do a lot of that. Jayce Tuck is the perfect name for an Edge Rusher and MVP, and then his brother picks the perfect fullback name of Jaxon Tuck. Our quarterback's first name is King which is fucking dope, and our running back is named Reg Mackworthy. At the receivers Dustin Evans and CA Chess have names that fit their workman style, and now the addition of Charlie Law at TE will undoubtedly strike fear into the hearts of weaker teams. Speaking of additions how about Phillipe Carter? Perfect name for a shutdown corner who lets their play do the talking. And then the BIG FELLA Tim Pest is more than a best on game day, he's an absolute animal. It's perfect. Kinda like when you nickname your fat friend Tiny. Finally, Arbin Asipi is a great name that rolls off the tongue easily... it's probably some anime shit I don't understand but I think it sounds good and he's gonna be Arbin ASLIPPY through the offensive lines across the league this season. To recap, Outlaws have so many good names it makes the rest of the league look dumb.
