Ten best ways to celebrate a championship Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - The regular season has one week remaining, but the fantasy season for a vast majority of leagues has concluded.

For those who brought home the hardware, it's time to celebrate.

Pitchers who have disappointed

Trash talking is always the "go-to" celebration move, but a milestone nearly as meaningful as say, marriage or the birth of your children (note to future wife, I'm kidding), needs further commemoration than that.

For the purposes of the kiddies and my job, we will be keeping it PG, but here are ten creative ways to celebrate your 2014 fantasy football championship.

There is such a thing as winning with class, however, occasionally it's necessary to remind those who said you couldn't win that they were, once again, wrong. Every league has that guy in Week 11, who said he would end your season. Then on "Monday Night Football", Le'Veon Bell dropped 30 points and rallied your team to a twopoint victory. If all else fails, Adam Sandler's "Who's laughing now clown," is always an appropriate thing to shout to a beaten opponent. Pop the "root beer" Jerome Bettis said his kiss of the Lombardi Trophy after Super Bowl XL was the sweetest kiss he ever had. Now, I'm not suggesting breaking out the Chapstick to pucker up, although there is absolutely no shame in that, breaking out a nice 20 ounce Barqs Root Beer bottle to drink from the trophy is more my style. The french vanilla just smells like victory. Carve name in trophy Although the NHL has done its best to mess up the game of hockey, the sport does something better than every other major American sport: the championship trophy. A 35-pound fantasy trophy is probably a little excessive mostly because that likely won't fit as the center piece at Christmas dinner. A 10-pound trophy is more than efficient and more

importantly, get a professional to carve your name in it. Work desk banner Owners can never forget to thank the fans who supported them all season long. What fans you ask? Well, why else would fantasy leagues post home and away records. One of my teams went 7-0 at home, so I must have had some type of home-field advantage because ESPN would never post an irrelevant statistic. Without a true home field to raise a championship flag, maybe a banner at the work desk or cubical is appropriate. All the co-workers you beat this season will love it. Championship T-shirts They will also love the championship T-shirt and DVD combination commemorating your winning season. Just don't forget to send the runner-up's championship T-shirt to Africa. New football jersey Where do the diehard fantasy owners true loyalties lie? If Aaron Rodgers carried an owner to the fantasy promise land, can he wear his jersey even though he is a Bears fan? That combined with the trophy centerpiece would really make for an interesting family Christmas. Championship ring Thought a big trophy with your name on it was over-the-top? Fantasy championship rings and belts are also for sale. Update the twitter bio Don't bother with a job description or a list of interests. A short and sweet bio stating "sixtime fantasy football champion" is all people really need to know. Nike commercial deal This can be a bit dicey. Owners don't want your players getting too upset that you are getting all the attention with Nike and Gatorade deals. Make sure in all your press conferences you allocate the proper credit to the players and the rest of the coaching staff. Start preparing for next season Do you think Bill Belichick bothers with twitter bios and championship gear? Have you ever seen him in a commercial? That's why he is the best and if owners want to remain the best, success can't go to their heads. Yes, I'm comparing myself and other owners to Belichick, though, I look better in a sweatshirt. Congratulations to the 2014 fantasy champions. Enjoy it.
