There’s a lot of excitement on draft day. Most owners have done some homework and come ready to make the best selections for their team. There’s some good natured ribbing amongst owners regarding team names, past year performances, real NFL team expectations, draft order and more. There’s food and drink and with most having high expectations for the season ahead, everyone seems to have a great time.
How do you continue that festive interaction throughout the season?
Fantasy Football Fun Beyond Draft Day
Here’s a tool that we think can help. The Cranky Commissioner™ has launched a line of 30 fantasy football league award certificates. The Commish or owners can give out awards like “Best Trash Talker,” “Disastrous Move,” “Worst Team Name” or “Biggest Loser.” Sure, there are the traditional awards like “League Champion” and “Top Running Back” and “Game of the Week.”
We found the most fun with awards that enable us to razz our fellow owners. Each certificate template has some text fields that can be customized with words of your own choosing. Try the “Asleep at the Wheel” certificate as the headline, and then use the text fields to let your owner who didn’t start the hottest tight end in the league know that you think a child of 5 years old could do better. Half of the fun is filling in the text fields and personalizing the message.
Your options for distribution of the certificates are many. You can send as an attachment to a text or email. Do a screen capture and post to Facebook. Or, print it out and award the certificate in person. We plan on using the certificates as email attachments with our weekly round-up.
Award certificates include: Tough Luck Award, Fantasy Football Champion, Top Running Back, Top Quarterback, Biggest Loser, Let’s Make a Deal, Best Waiver Wire Pick-up, Asleep at the Wheel, Pre-Game Taunt, Schmuck Award, Commissioner’s Update, Game of the Year, Game of the Week, Disastrous Move, League MVP, Upset of the Year, Worst Team Name, Skunk of the Week, Trash Talker Award and many more.
Sold individually for $5 or as a complete set for $20, the Cranky Commissioner awards are sure to add fun to any fantasy football league. They’re available at Free Award Certificates.
