For the last few years, Mike, Jana, Dave, Jessica, Ben, Steve, Biz, Jeff, Mike's BFF Jason, and I have competed together in a family fantasy football league, Pigskin Nation. It has been a fun and also a rather harmless way for us to compete against each other while we enjoy the games of the NFL season as they are played out.
Over the weekend, our annual fantasy football draft was held, as it always is, up at Mike and Jana's home in Layton. This is a win-win situation, because not only do we get our draft taken care of, but Mike cooks a nice BBQ out on the grill, and everybody brings tasty dishes to share, so it amounts to a great meal, as well.
One more thing: Jana used her considerable artistic skills to create a new trophy that will be awarded to each year's overall points winner of the fantasy football league. That person will get his or her name inscribed on the back and will get to hold onto the trophy and brag about it for the rest of that year, until the time comes to pass it along to the next winner.
As you can see from the above photo, that trophy now sits in a prominent place on a shelf in my room. As last year's Pigskin Nation champion, my name was the first inscribed on the back, and I get to hold onto it until at least late December.
I'll try not to let it go to my head.
