We kicked down the damn door to the Super Bowl last night, topping our fantasy opponent, 90-73. And with that, we advanced to the finals of our very first season of Fantasy Football. We must admit we are surprised to have won. Our receivers are completely injured. Jeremy Maclin did not play. We gambled that the injured Mike Sims-Walker would be a non-factor. (A gamble we lost, as he scored 12 points.) Our star, Larry Fitz, was injured and got us just 9 points. Underachieving Michael Crabtree continued to do just that and earned a piss-poor 2 points. We were so desperate for a live body we hit the Saturday night waiver wire for the second straight week and added Hakeem Olajuwon Nicks (6 points). All told, our receivers gave us just 17 points. Drew Brees had a bad game, too, with 11 points. Thankfully, the rest of the starters did well -- or well enough to get us the W: Ryan Grant (9), Ricky Williams (14), Dallas Clark (21), David Akers (9) and Denver's D (9).
In the Super Bowl we will encounter the team that has been ranked number 1 since late September. Amazingly, we have been installed as 2 point favorites. Perhaps even better, cbssports.com has given us a "slight" coaching advantage -- a fact we proudly boasted about to our students today.
Classic.
