There’s a lot of excitement on draft day. Most owners have done their 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 award “Best Trash Talker,” “Disastrous Move,” “Worst Team Name,” or “Biggest Loser.” Sure, there are the traditional awards like “League Champion,” “Top Running Back,” and “Game of the Week.”
We found the most fun with awards that enabled 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 the fun is filling in the text fields and personalizing the message.
Handing Out The Awards
There are many options for distributing the certificates. You can attach them to a text or email, screen capture them and post them on Facebook, or print them out and award them 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.
The Cranky Commissioner awards, sold individually for $5 or as a complete set for $20, will surely add fun to any fantasy football league. They’re available at Free Award Certificates.
