Fantasy Football, A Sport You Can Still Play and Win

Win or Lose, These Trophies are Just Darn Funny!

Are you ready for some football?  Football has grown into a multibillion dollar industry.  At the moment, it is one of America’s top sporting events, along with NASCAR racing. The smell of the grills being fired up by anxious tailgaters and the sounds of rambunctious fans can be heard in every town and city across America on the weekends; even those towns that don’t have their own “home team” to cheer for will find the closest place to watch the game every Sunday or Monday night.

With all of this fun happening, something funny also happened along the way, Fantasy Football! This amazing game was spawned by America’s infatuation of watching the sport and following stats of their favorite players and records of their favorite teams.

The game of fantasy football consists of an NFL draft where real people get to choose and assign their favorite players to their own (fantasy) team. The players’ real life stats dictate how many points an individual’s fantasy football team scores. The highest scores obviously win.  Most fantasy football games allow the regular guys out there to make their own team as a mixture of favorite players among multiple teams.  For example, you can choose a quarterback from one team and a receiver, running back or kicker from other teams to create your very own personalized “dream team”.

People can even root for other players and watch other games, because the fantasy football team has a variety of players. It’s an ingenious idea and is just another way the NFL can get their games in front of more viewers. Here at Trophies2go.com, we believe in awarding people for achievement.  And hey, if you can’t be out on the field making an amazing tackle yourself, then the fantasy football team can do it for you.  We have fantasy football awards for the winners… and losers!

Trophies2Go has an extensive fantasy football trophy catalog; ranging from bronze, resin, crystal and a whole lot more.  We have hilarious fantasy football awards for the losers, as well.  How ‘bout the Fantasy Sports Loser Toilet Seat?  We have a fantasy football losers ballerina trophy, toilet bowl loser trophy (it even comes with the toilet paper!), monster football trophy and many more that will make everyone laugh, especially the fantasy football losers!

It’s never been easier than now to reward those fantasy football gurus. Our philosophy is… if a game isn’t fun to play, then why bother?  Part of the fun is in winning; so even losers win with a funny, hilarious fantasy football trophy from our super fun collection.

When you scour our trophies and awards, you will see quality that will make a difference in someone’s life. That’s what gratitude and appreciation is all about, regardless of whether the team is fantasy – or real!

If you know a fantasy football maniac, think of what a purely entertaining gag gift this will bring, along with some nice color on the recipient’s cheeks.

2009 Weiner Dog Races at Emerald Downs (be a wiener!)

You haven’t lived until you have seen the wiener dog races at Emerald Downs in Auburn, Washington. This year, they will on Friday, August 14th, 2009. The first horse race is at 6:00pm. Even though my brain is sometimes mush, I recall the first wiener dog race occurring around 7:00pm.

This year, Trophies2go is proudly sponsoring the awards. For me, this tugs on my quirky sense of humor as well as ever-so-slightly touching my need to provide ‘meaningful recognition’. Heck, Dachshunds and their owners need some recognition, too – especially after the anxiety of being in front of thousands of people and facing the real possibility that something could ‘go wrong’. In the middle of the race, the wiener dog can get distracted after all – he/she might need to go potty or even fall in love with the dog in the next lane over!

The hosts for the event are STAR 101.5’s Kent & Alan along with our family friend, “Super Jen“. Make sure you allow for a bit of time during the first few horse races to swing by and say ‘Hi’ to the STAR 101.5 crew at the north end of the grandstand. Who knows, Jen might even be there with her baby!  There are typically a few other sponsors in the vicinity that have awesome give-aways or promotions.  If we are there this year, make sure to come on by!

Without being my normal wordy self, here are some picture from previous years

To end, I feel the urge to plug a couple of our most popular sections of our site, award plaques, acrylic awards & trophies, and crystal awards & trophies.  Check them out!  See you at the races!
