Wayne McGarrity Bowl Finals: Albert takes the Title for a 2nd straight year

Channel 4 News Team     132

This was a laughable anti-climatic joke of a final. Every single thing that could go wrong went wrong for my team and it shows as I put up the worst Championship score in our league's history. 57 points, Arian Foster and Tom Brady put up 51 by themselves. My team decided to just give up on the most important week of the year. V-Jax was hurt and questionable and it showed in his stats. Nicks was horrific and dropped more passes just like he did last week, Antonio Brown had Charlie Batch throwing to him and did nothing. Even Ray Rice, who demolished the Browns last time around,  was great by anyone else's standards, but not by his own with 18 points. The biggest blow to the gut? Tony Romo being pulled out after throwing a total of two passes, cause of a hand injury and also because the game was meaningless. A 0 at the QB position....in the finals.....unreal. My 2nd leading scorer? A tie between Neil Rackers and Brent Celek with 11 points. Disgustingly bad. LeSean McCoy was a blessing all year..until this week where he apparently suffered an injury and was held to 4 points. I can handle losing, but this was beyond losing. Now I take solace in the fact that I don't think it mattered if Romo and McCoy played to their full potential because just like they have all playoffs, Albert's guys went OFF again. Led by Wayne McGarrity Bowl Finals MVP Tom Brady, who rallied from a horrible 1st half to end up with 29 fantasy points, the damage started on Thursday  with Arian Foster and his 22 points and Albert never looked back. Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson, Steven Jackson, (in an ironic twist, it was a win-win for Albert cause Albert had Pittsburgh D so Jackson still got his, while Pittsburgh kept their shutout), and Jermichael Finley all contributed and had championship caliber performances as evidenced by the final score. Just an embarrassing ending for me and my team, but hey, all credit to Albert's team who through excellent drafting and one great trade for Brady, managed to bounce back for a lousy end to a regular season to dismantling the #1, #2, and #3 seeds of the playoffs. It also goes to show, that being a paper champion doesn't matter, it's about playing the actual game. Fantasy football is an unpredictable game, and nothing is ever guaranteed. Congratulations to Albert on his 2nd consecutive Fantasy Football Championship.

Other News: Ryan won the 3rd place game against Leland 136-116. First time for Ryan to place in our league. Zach beat Mike 91-75 to capture 7th officially. It has already been confirmed that Zach will not be back for next season. Matt will at least end his bitter disappointing season on a win, as he beat Cindy 76-66. If Cindy actually cared and checked she would've taken out the inactive Andre Johnson for Reggie Wayne but it is the 9th place game so it's totally understandable.
