LiveOutside Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Last year I mailed condolence card to all the players I beat in my league. I am looking to step this up. One idea I had was to send fantasy football of dummies books to everyone or Kleenex boxes. What are some other thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 You are gonna have a hard time closing the deal on any trades going forward. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJR43 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 You can design your own championship ring and wear it to the draft. That's what we are doing for our league. Just posted about it. $50 for the design and $64.99 to get it made out of polished nickel steel or polished gold steel. See pics below. If you wants to do this for your league, send me an email at tjross2411@gmail.com and we can make it happen before 2014 kickoff. There is no better feeling than tapping your championship ring on the table, Frank Underwood-style, while watching redzone channel with your buddies.

Dolphin_Akie Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 In my league we have the Mark Sanchez Trophy (basically a trophy with a big butt on it) calling them the loser and their forfeit is they have to draft Mark Sanchez the following season (in any round) and keep him on the roster all season.

QFFL Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 One of my local leagues provides a Toilet Bowl trophy to the worst player in the league every year. Love the idea. Should be required to display it in his cube at work for the next year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA Baracus Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 We have a last place "you suck" trophy set up in our ESPN league. It's good for some ribbing at the draft the next year and anyone could end up with it. I gotta say that sending some card to everyone who you beat last year is some pretty weak honda. Who the hell even has the time to waste on such a childish exploit? Like I said, if someone in my league did that, there's no way they would get a trade done with me unless I was robbing them blind - I would never agree to anything that improved their team. And at the draft the next year, they would be getting trucked with pretty hard. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah having a bit of fun as a group at the expense of whomever finishes last is good natured fun but sending cards/emails gloating to everyone is just going to make people hate you. The guy whose won our league the last two years has been a good winner in this sense and people still hate him just because he's successful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Sounds like a league of 12 year olds. I just don't get all this gloating and acting superior. It is a game that is mostly luck (some say 90% luck and 10% luck). You won, you got your prize and trophy, do you really need to stroke your own ego by trashing others?

Chief Dick Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Man, you old-timers are a bunch of dried up vags. The reason we all got into fantasy football in the first place was to talk hellacious smack to our buddies. Holy Smokes, some of the stories I have of the things we used to do to each other way back then. The card thing is a freaking riot. With your buddies, all bets are off in FF. You bring the heat or you sit there like a little pansy man. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bring the heat or you sit there like a little pansy man. In a league with a bunch of friends, something like that would be much more acceptable. However in a league with work colleagues in a corporate setting with the president himself in the league, this is not something that is acceptable. It's a nice gag idea if it is the right group of people. Not everything applies in every situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fun thing to do during football season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA Baracus Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Each to their own I guess, just don't find acting like an arrogant ass to be my idea of fun. Exactly. We talk plenty of honda all season long (and especially at the draft) in my main league, but the cards thing would definitely be viewed as a douchy thing to do. Besides, honda talk after the fact is generally a puss move anyhow. Have some balls and talk your honda before the matchup/season/whatever. Once you win, you don't have to say anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
