| Walter Bowl I: Convicts=Champs! Marshall Faulk comes through on Monday Night, Convicts beat Blades 121-108 |
|||
| It was a fitting way for the Convicts to win the championship. If they were going to do it, they were going to do it on the shoulders of Marshall Faulk and that's just what they did. Faulk scored four touchdowns in a Monday Night shootout against the Bucs, more than enough to overcome a 17-point deficit and win the first Walter Bowl. Ironically, Faulk wasnt able to help the Rams to a win, and unlike the Convicts, they wont be celebrating a championship this year. | This league championship was dripping with irony. It was the Blades coach who made a play for Marshall Faulk midway through the season when he was injured, offering just about everyone on the roster in order to improve the Convicts slumping playoff chances. Mike held firm though, and when Faulk returned the Convicts won some important games to get into the playoffs. Once there, they rode him hard to the championship. Once again, fantasy football's best player is on the best team. The Convicts are #1! | ||
| Loser Bowl: Cue Ball Starts Garcia This Week!! And because of it, Cue Ball beats the Demolition for third place |
|||
| I have no idea what the score of this game is, I only know Jeff Garcia scored almost as much as the entire Demolition team. Garcia had 53 points for Cue Ball and Drew Bledsoe had just 4 for the Demos...that pretty much tells the story of this game. | Cue Ball, always one to push the envelope with the rulebook, ignited some controversy this week by using his playoff roster moves to obtain possible keepers for next year. That rule will change somehow next year. The Demos coach is one of two coaches who still have not paid dues. You owe $15, Jerry. | ||
| Buzzkill! Weekend from hell ends with loss in championship game |
|||
|
On the weekend of our league championship game, the in-laws paid a
visit. That was a key part of a 48-hour run of bad luck for the Walter
Bowl loser: Sat 3:55pm Damnit! Taking my in-laws shopping at the mall...don't have time to get to a computer to bench Derrick Mayes for Tony Martin. I hear the weather is SHITTY in Seattle. Oh well...maybe I'll get lucky with Mayes. Better get to work soon. Sat 3:15am The biggest pain in the ass about producing the overnight Sportscenter is you have to stay to the bitter end, when every game is over (UNLV/Cincy at midnight). Plus fixing every error for the taped reair SUCKS. A lot of errors this night, but not in Derrick Mayes statistics...one catch, 10 yards. Ouch. Sun. Noon Damn..the weather sucks today...oh well...father in law and I will go to sportsbar and shoot pool while all my players play like champs. Gotta get there for kickoff for the Lions/Jets game....I have two running backs in that one...FUCK!...I have a headlamp out. Better go to an auto parts store and get that fixed....FAST. Sun, 1:30pm Damnit!! Soaked and wet and missed the kickoff.....hey the Jets lead the Lions 7-0....how'd that happen. Some clod tells me Curtis Martin scored. YIPPEE! I'll have two beers please. Sun 3:30pm SON-OF-A.....!!! James Stewart STUFFED at the goalline for a second time. The Saints just scored a defensive TD in another game. Oh well...the Titans D is DOMINATING in the show...what a cool game to watch. Love snowy football! Yep, no doubt in my mind Eddie George is the MVP this year. Sun 8:30pm DAMNIT!! I'm basically tied in the league championship game going into the Sunday night game. I need big games from Amani Toomer and Pete Mitchell. No way my wife and mother-in-law lets me watch this game at home. No way my wife lets me go to a bar and watch it either. I KNOW! I'll put Drew to bed and lay in there with him, listening to it on the radio using headphones. SWEET! |
Sun 11pm Football isnt as cool on the radio as it is on TV. Man the Cowboys suck! TOUCHDOWN TOOMER! Yeah baby!! Not much from my tight end tonight though. Man...I'm in trouble. Wait a minute...I have Gramatica on Monday night. Maybe he'll kick two 50-yarders!! Maybe the Bucs defense will stuff Faulk all night long!! MAYBE I WILL BE THE WALTER BOWL CHAMPION!! Time to start planning out potential story lines for the report page. Mon 8:30pm Was a champ all day entertaining the in-laws...wife knows the game is a big deal to me....won't be pissed I'm blowing off family and going to a bar to watch the game. Wow...I've got it good in life. Quick shower... get cleaned up and refreshed....just like Jackie Gleason in The Hustler. Mon 9:30pm Yeah!!!...nothing for Faulk yet...and Gramatica just kicked a field goal!! SWEET!! Bartender...I'll take the biggest draft beer you serve, please. Mon 10:30pm I have completely galvanized all five clods in this hole-in-the-wall bar. Everyone is rooting for the Bucs in this game...DAMNIT....Faulk goes in for his second touchdown. Wait....let me do some quick math here...hey...we're basically tied going into the second half. I HAVE A CHANCE!!! I think I'll call Jason from a pay phone and talk shit with him. Figures....he's asleep. Unreal. This is Rams/Bucs on Monday night in Week 16 and this guy is SLEEPING!! Was I really this guy's BEST MAN?!?! Mon 11pm Uh...bartender...can I have another beer please. I'm toast. Unreal...stupid Marshall Faulk. The Bucs need about 10 field goals for me to win now. Damn..I need to beat somebody at something. Anyone playing pool? Three touchdowns for Faulk!! Better drive home and watch the end of this game at a bar closer to my home. Don't want to miss the finish of the game. Mon 11:30pm Wow....another touchdown by Marshall Faulk. Whatever...WHAT A GREAT GAME THOUGH!! Come on Bucs...I want some drama....great run by Shaun King.....Warrick Dunn is DOMINATING..... YEAH BUCS WIN!!!!!!!!! You gotta love the NFL. |
