The cost of sucking
The Blind Monkey (Premier)
An idle and useless person is often told that he is only fit to lead the blind monkeys.
This trophy is dedicated to reflect the history of the league - even the losers. The Blind Monkey is a traveling trophy that, once updated by the Commissioner, may reside with the recipient until the next one is crowned.
A Blind Monkey title is earned when a Gent manages to score the fewest points in the Blind Monkey (Consolation) Bracket in Weeks 15-17.

- Cost of transport of the trophy to those living far away and back to League Headquarters is the responsibility of The Blind Monkey in possession of the trophy at the time.
- If the title-holding Gent is unwilling to back this expense the trophy will remain at League Headquarters.

- Portrait Punishment dates: Draft Day through Super Bowler Weekend.
- The Portrait will hang, framed, at the Blind Monkey’s primary residence in a place of prominence throughout the Portrait Punishment timespan so that he must answer the questions from guests to his home of “who is this strange fellow hanging upon your wall?”
