Well, there goes that idea
Do have any ideas on giving it away inside the Fantasy League? Will we actually have 1 winner at the end of it? If so, I could give it to that person (I'm not gonna win, but if I do, the prize would transition to 2nd place)...
If not, any other ideas?
I like the idea of supporting this fun game
If we we're going to go that route, then a money league would make more sense. Problem is, my interleague format wont support it. And then there's the issue of my playing in each league and impending accusations of impropriety if I have to make a stat correction or make a League Manager decision based on the overall interest of each of the leagues. There's just too much that could go wrong...and to be honest, it makes my job even harder
Since Votan has gotten Senes sign off on these trophies could you let Mabberman, LuckNorris or myself know when the league has ended and We will get them sorted for you.
Also if you come up with a similar idea to this in the future the Morgue is always open and isn't just for complaints.

I want to see a mod fantasy football league next year.... seems like it would be funny.
Or maybe mods vs. users. You guys get a votan and we get a miller lite pony.
EDIT:
Ok, so I talked to Sene and he gave the green light to the fantasy title.
So, it's confirmed, the winner of this year's league will have a trophy. Anything else I can do for you?

But I changed my team name like 4 weeks ago!
Runners up included but were not limited to:
"The Ghost of Odin Lloyd"
"Forte Year Old Virgins"
"Amendolacare"
you'll always be the "Miller Lite ponies" in my heart.
So hey, MTGS5 guys looking for a defense this week? Maybe you feel like there is something better? Maybe there is:
The Giants have looked good and while the Packers resigned Matt Flynn, would you be willing to count out a Giants team that always seems to do well when counted out?

How about this, Im willing to bet that the Giants D/ST will at least have 10 points this week.
Hell, I predict that the Giants will score better than the Broncos D/ST.

Im not touching a defense on a team when their QB turns the ball over 4 times a game
I'm thinking about getting a custom jersey made for my primary team. I'm unsure of what my team colors should be though. The team name is Lis Franc-enstein's Monster. What do you guys think?
Defenses that are not KC? What is that?
KC is facing Peyton Manning this weekend. I was faced with the choice between KC and the Titans' defenses. The projection for the titans was 10+points. KC had a -2 projection. I went for KC no matter what ESPN's projections said. The Titans just got a -2 game. Guess I chose right
I had several upsets with Injuries along the season on my TE spot so I went to the free agents to cover holes. My starting TE (which is, in himself horrible) Jared Cook, has a bye, so I had to start a filler TE, Coby Fleener. He scored 11+ points. What's up with that? I'm not complaining, but I wish I understood it
Peyton will cough it up a couple times Sunday night. He gets fumblitis pretty quick when he's pressured, and if there's anything our defense does better than anyone, it's pressure the quarterback. Our teams are far too similar. I have the Chiefs D and benched Olsen in favor of Fleener this week.
controversial thought: Let me preface this with the fact im not saying that its a bad defense and I'd not fault you from sticking. The Chiefs D/ST is not the best defense in the league when looking at ROS. I feel like you can stream defenses currently available and do just as good, if not better than staying chiefs 100% would...

Faced with the exact same decision in one of my leagues but I dropped TEN to be able to acquire a waiver D/ST if I so desire prior to lat nights game

Fumblitis isnt a fair description. Rather, its a case of being blindsided because the backside guard/tackle doesnt do his job. I get what you're saying though, and I agree. There will be sacks and a turnover two be had but Manning is going to get his as well. KC looking at an 8-12 point wk in my opinion (maybe a few more if theyre lucky enough to come up with a defensive TD but you cant bank on those)

Um, what? On average the KC defense is scoring DOUBLE what 25 teams in the league are and 7 more pts a week than the #3 scoring Seahawks D. At this point in the year you arent going to find much defensive help on the waiver wire. Sometimes, you just have to play the horses in your stable.
Which 2 would you start? (Standard NFL.com League) I"m definitely starting Lynch, Fred Jackson, and Welker..so I need a 2nd WR and the W/R spot filled.
Steven Jackson
Riley Cooper
Alshon Jeffery
I also have Harvin on the bench but I don't think I want to start him just yet. Hopefully he plays this week and then they have their bye and I can get him in action after that to finally replace the gaping hole that Julio left.

But you also have to factor that before this week, the chiefs had the easiest schedule and from this week on, it becomes the 3rd hardest. What I said was mainly towards people who think that, "trade for chiefs, bet set from year out," will auto-cover them in D/ST is wrong.
Honestly, the Chiefs are out of top 5 D/ST ROS..... I am that serious. But hey, as said before, im a newb... so what do I know

They may indeed have the 3rd toughest schedule from here on out. So instead of scoring 22 pts a week, they come back down to earth and score 15. This is a VERY good defense, regardless of who they have to play. Outside of the 2 games in 3 weeks vs Denver, there isnt another opponent on their schedule that I'd hesitate to throw them out against. IND? Cant run the ball, pass protection is below average, and theyve struggled without Wayne. OAK? Ha! SD? Formidable but no more so than any team theyve played to date. WSH? Hasnt looked good all year.
I hope this is a typo because it's a grave offense to Missourians to say the Chiefs are from Kansas.
Their SOS from here on out isn't as favorable, no. But I'd rather bank on them than any streaming tactics. How many people played the Titans last week against the Jags, only to have it blow up in their face? I also have the homer excuse. What kind of fan would I be if I benched them now.
Off topic here but I'm really getting annoyed with the morons I keep seeing on TV saying the Chiefs had a cake schedule, only to turn around and worship the Broncos and their nearly identical schedule.
Yeah, I meant Kansas City... I apologize to any Missourians who may be offended... Then again, you probably don't know where Portugal is, so you can't blame me for thinking Kansas City was in Kansas
You're like Spain's California, right?
Edit: If I ever caught my SO sleeping with Megatron, I wouldnt even be mad after what he is doing for me this year.... Cant even say im joking

The long and short is that MTGS gives out E trophies for writing contests, etc so why not create one we can give out to the winner each year?
