How this list was compiled

A list of 117 nerdy fantasy football team names written by Wheel of Teams on 2026-10-03 and filed in five groups: science puns, math and statistics puns, computer and code puns, engineering puns, and last place with error bars. The names are our own suggestions; none uses the name of a real player, coach, team, league or fantasy service, or of a scientist, a film or a game, and any match with a real team is a coincidence. The football and league words were looked up on 2026-10-02 in three English Wikipedia articles, text under CC BY-SA 4.0: Glossary of American football terms (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_American_football_terms), American football (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football) and Fantasy football (gridiron) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_football_(gridiron)). The science, math and computer words were looked up the same day in Wikipedia's glossaries of physics, chemistry terms, engineering, calculus, probability and statistics, and computer science (for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_computer_science and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics). Compared by script on 2026-10-03 with every other list on this site: no name is repeated. Nothing was checked against a trademark register. Licence: own work
