Our original championship trophy, awarded to the league winner from 2012-2018. I stopped bothering with it because it was too much of a pain in the ass to send around, and I lost track of it completely for a couple years. As of 2024 I do have possession of it again (thanks Connor), but it will probably stay retired.

It's made from the rubber inner bladder of a kids'-size football which I found in the gutter walking home from school one day. As the Hall of Fame page states, literally made of trash. 

It's named after Tom Hardy's titular performance in Bronson, because those of us that saw that movie together thought his nearly constant profanity was really funny at the time.

Our original trophy awarded to the winner of the consolation bracket, because the consolation bracket is full of scrubs. It was first given out in 2012 along with the Gold Bronson but I don't remember how many times it was re-awarded, and I don't know where it is now.

Our original trophy awarded to the last place finisher. Sadly, I don't have this anymore, nor do any photos exist, but I wanted to have some representation here along with the other two. It was a piece of approximately 4x6x1 scrap wood with the league logo and "wooden plank of shame" hastily Sharpied onto it. Honestly, this version captures the essence of the original pretty well. 

The first year the traveling trophies were awarded, I also created this certificate template for the league winners to have a trophy they could keep. The decoration around the border is made out of Bronson faces and the quote in the top right is a take on the "Conglaturation!!" ending screen from Ghostbusters on the NES. I think I stopped this in 2015. 

I believe the lore here is that Paul was last/almost last place in our first two seasons and was therefore "cursed," before winning our 3rd season.

This would have been summer of 2013, so I would have just made the Bronson vector art for The Mannschaft trivia team T-shirts. So I guess this existed as Photoshop practice.

As seen on the 2017 draft chart.

The only statistics from the first season of the league that I kept back then, before ESPN deleted everything.

Here are some reasons why it was horrible and shitty:

• Non-PPR because I didn't know what that was

• 2-week playoff games with the championship including the last week of the NFL season

• 8 people, but actually only 7 because:

• "New York Titans" was some rando that quit so I just liquidated their team and vacated their wins, two of the biggest commissioner sins possible, next to:

• I commissionarily added Matt Flynn to Alan's championship lineup, because he forgot, and Aaron Rodgers was resting. I didn't think it would matter because how many points could the backup QB possibly score in a meaningless game
