Is this a new league?
If not then let the league champion come up with the three division names. We do this each year and the league champion come up with a theme and we choose our team names based on this theme. The division names come from this theme also.

i used to be in a league like this; sometrimes corny, but fun.you can do something like movies, where the divisons are studio names and the teams are named for films.

In one league we paid tribute to deceased NFL players such as Walter Payton, Derrick Thomas and others by naming the divisions after them.

Last year we went with a "Channel 4 News Team" theme. Our divisions were Brian Fantana, Champ Kind, and Brick Tamland. We switch it up every year.

i don't feel that strongly about it, but it does seem to add an element of luck over skill if you play the teams in your division more than the others. is that the kind of issue you have?

In long standing leagues (6+ years), I really like the rivalries it helps create. Including div vs div and conf vs conf.Also a weighted schedule has you playing division opponents more often. Good stuff.In newer leagues I'd rather not see divisions/conferences.

Yup. I'd rather have all of the best teams make the playoffs, not the mediocre teams that just happened to play in a weak division.

Yeah, it irks me in the NFL, too, when the 7th best AFC team sits at home when they would have been the 3rd or 4th best NFC team. I'd much rather see the 12 best teams in the playoffs than the 6 best from the AFC and the 6 best from the NFC. Remember in 2004 when the NFC sent two 8-8 squads and the AFC had three 9-7 squads that sat at home?You mean... like the NFL?(just kidding... nothing to back this up)

I love Ole, but we often shorten it to the Flair and Anderson division when making references. Ole suffers the misfortune of sharing Arn's last name.

I agree with this. We've been around for 13 years, and there's a strong rivalry between divisions to the point where people talk trash about the other division all year and pull for division mates in the playoffs.

Our league is similar -- Super Bowl winning coaches who are now dead. Ewbank, Landry, Lombardi, Stram.

Our divisions are Shirts and Skins. We added a third division when we expanded to 12 teams and called it the Wifebeaters.

In my local league we use Proletariat and Bourgeoisie to split the top six and bottom six based on previous year's standings. This means nothing other than the basis for pretentious intellectually-arrogant jokes.

Proletariat is a word that means "lower class". Bourgeoisie is a word that means "upper class" (well, it technically correlates better with the middle class than the upper class, but the point is that it's a higher class than the Proles). The bottom six finishers from last year are in the "lower class" division, and the top six finishers from last year are in the "upper class" division. In addition, in Marxist theory, the proletariat interests run diametrically opposed to those of the bourgeoisie, which means the two classes are in constant conflict, which fits very well with the idea of competing divisions.I don't get it...

Listen, strange commissioners lyin' in ponds distributin' divisions is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical fantasy football ceremony. Derived from:Proletariat is a word that means "lower class".

Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

My league, Dirty Dozen FFL, started 5 years ago with me naming the divisions after beer (Labatt, Molson, Guiness). After the initial year, the previous year's champion gets to pick the division names. It makes for some funny names and leads to a lot of trash-talkin'.
