Football is here! Check out BigTroph.com

It's not Monday night, but I am ready for some football!

With the football season about to kickoff tonight, I think it's fitting to talk about fantasy football, since for some people it is actually more important than the games themselves. I am not one of those people, but hey, I aim to please all of my readers. I technically have 3 fantasy football teams this year, but I'm only counting it as 1 since I missed 2 of the drafts which resulted in the computer auto-drafting those teams. And everyone knows how that shit ends up (2 tight ends, picking a defense in the 5th round, picking a kicker anytime before the last round, and so on and so forth). I fuckin hate auto drafts. Well anyway, aside from the pure joy of beating your opponent each week in fantasy football, the next best thing is to gloat, brag and taunt everyone in the league before, during and after an ass-kicking.

There are a number of ways to do this. Here are some examples of what I am doing this year:
  • My team name is PeteSpelmanIsGay.com, named after my friend who talked shit about my attempts to promote my buddy's website.

  • Yahoo! Sports offers the ability to use "smack talk" which gives you 150 characters to say whatever you want underneath your team name. Below you will find a screen shot of my team. Click on the image to enlarge.

My opponent loves Pearl Jam. His team name is "Team Vedder"

I'm sure you all are wondering where the hell I got that sweet ass OJ Simpson logo. Well wonder no more. Anyone who plays fantasy sports (football, basketball, baseball, even hockey) will enjoy this website. It's called BigTroph.com. I play fantasy sports and a lot of times when I'm talking shit to the rest of the league, I like to accentuate my point by having a cool image, or logo, to flaunt in peoples' faces. Now back in the day, I used to have to photoshop this shit by myself, which was kind of a pain in the ass. Well, I don't have to do it anymore because this site offers free fantasy sports logos and I think that the selection is pretty solid. Here are some other cool logos they have on their site:

Brett Favre, he's probably a virgin too

Shocker baseball, I used this on my fantasy baseball squads.

The always famous "ass trumpet"

This is just a taste of some of the stuff they got on this site. So if you're looking for something to differentiate yourself from all the other bastards in your fantasy leagues this year, come check out this site.

They also just released a new fantasy team name generator. This is for all you tools who can't think of something witty, or are just horribly unoriginal. Essentially, it just randomly selects an adjective and a noun. It's not perfect, but it works. The best team name I got so far was "Deeply Bananas". Sounds like a porn film. For the record, I have never watched porn in my entire life (sarcasm alert).

You might be thinking "why the fuck does this blog entry sound like a fuckin advertisement for BigTroph.com?" Well, the simple answer is because it is. My buddy created the site, I think it's fuckin cool, and I want my readers to enjoy the fruits of his labor while also being able to shit on everyone else in their fantasy leagues. Personally I think it's a win-win for everybody.


Now go to the fuckin website and thank me later.
