For millions of rabid fantasy football fans like us, however, the real NFL playoffs are just an annoying reminder that the fantasy football season has come to an end.
Fantasy football can consume you during the season, and so it is the case in our household and those of so many of our friends and family that play with us. Each year, we purchase an online fantasy football league from NFL.com -- the BICOY FOOTBALL LEAGUE! Then we invite others to join us.
This year we finally decided to break down and legitimize our pathetic obsession with pretend football with a championship plaque...
Notice that the biggest names on the plaque are those of the commissioners -- if for no other reason that neither of the commissioner's teams have ever been in the Bicoy Football League Championship Game. We figured that listing us as commissioners might be the only way we'd ever get our name on the plaque.
The plaque itself is displayed appropriately in an upstairs alcove in our home...
Notice the statues appropriately writhing in agony over the idea of anyone so annoyingly enamored with play football games.
And you didn't think we'd send it to the winners of the Bicoy Football League, did you? The Champion is invited to visit our home to see their name!
Ah, but this year we did break down and decided to send the Champion a giant trophy of their own...
Okay, "giant" is a relative term. Maybe it's 4 inches high, but hey, it's better than nothing!
So join us in celebrating this year's Bicoy Football League Champions, my wife's sister and brother-in-law, Chrissy and Brandon Scharer...
Their enthusiasm is overwhelming.
