Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this fantasy football team name thing for a while now, and I gotta say, it’s tougher than it looks. I mean, you want something catchy, something funny, but also something that shows you know your stuff, right? I got T.J. Hockenson on my team this year, and I’m feeling pretty good about it. This guy is a beast, and I think he’s gonna bring in some serious points.
So, naturally, I want a team name that ties in with Hockenson. I went down a rabbit hole on Reddit and a bunch of other sites, just browsing through suggestions. You wouldn’t believe some of the names people come up with! Some are pretty clever, others are just… well, let’s just say they’re not for me.
My first thought was to play on his nickname, “Hock.” It’s simple, it’s easy, and everyone knows who you’re talking about. I kicked around a few ideas like “Hock and Awe” or maybe “Hock’s Heroes.” They are okay, but they are not really grabbing me, you know?
- Hock and Awe
- Hock’s Heroes
Then I started thinking about maybe going a bit more out there. Like, “Hockenson’s Hooligans” or “The Hock Ness Monster.” They have a bit more personality, but I’m still not 100% sold. I even tried one of those fantasy team name generator things. It spit out some interesting options, like “Hockenson Loogies” and “Hocktoberfest.” “Hockenson Loogies” made me chuckle, I’ll admit, but I don’t think my league mates would appreciate it. And “Hocktoberfest”? I don’t even know what that means, to be honest.
- Hockenson’s Hooligans
- The Hock Ness Monster
- Hockenson Loogies
- Hocktoberfest
Brainstorming
I spent hours, literally hours, just brainstorming and writing down any idea that popped into my head, no matter how dumb it seemed. I even started rhyming random words with “Hockenson” just to see what would happen. Most of it was garbage, but hey, you gotta sift through the dirt to find the gold, right?
After all that, I think I’ve finally narrowed it down to a few contenders. I’m leaning towards “Hock’s Blocking Party” right now. It’s got a nice ring to it, it’s relevant to football, and it’s got that little bit of humor that I’m looking for. Also “Hock and Roll” is not bad.
- Hock’s Blocking Party
- Hock and Roll
I’ll probably sleep on it and make my final decision in the morning. It’s a big decision, you know? Your team name is your identity for the whole season. You gotta make it count. Anyway, that’s my saga of trying to come up with a Hockenson-themed fantasy team name. Wish me luck!
