The New Wixon Trophy

During the recent trip to Michigan to visit Andy and Heidi and the eminently brilliant Sylvie Rose we went into a wonderful little antique shop in Ann Arbor.  The goal was to finally, as we were ready to kick off the sixth season of the Twin Peaks Football League, create a trophy for the winning team.  We've long had the punishment for the loser: the abhorrent My Little Pony sweater that must be worn, and photographed, in a public place. However, we've never had a first place trophy.  Well, we still don't have a first place trophy, but now we have a second artifact associated with "winning" the Wixon for finishing last: a horrible glass clown which has to sit on the desk of the winner/loser for an entire year, as a constant reminder of their shame. It says a lot about our league that we don't have a trophy for winning, let alone a cash award, but we do have two forms of punishment associated with losing.

If this would not make you purchase at least two fantasy football guides and devote several days to preparation then truthfully nothing would.
