Marvnet Championship Box Score
There it is! After more than a decade of futility, I finally won the coveted Marvnet Fantasy Football League Championship. Including the years where I acted as Kelvin’s co-GM, it’s probably been 15 years of futility. Sure, there were a couple Toilet Bowl victories, but never the big prize at the end of the rainbow. Until this year!
It was made possible primarily by 3 stars: Lesean McCoy, who exceeded already lofty expectations to finish the season as the #1 scoring RB in the league. Ron Gronkowski, who defied the expectations of his low draft position to lead all tight ends in scoring, and 2nd among all pass catchers. And the star of stars, Mr. Tom Brady. While only the 4th best QB over the course of the season, Tom Terrific always saved his best for when the stakes were highest, scoring a team high 32 points in the tightly contested finale.
Rounding out the squad were steady receiver Jeremy Maclin, greatest TE in history, former Manhattan Beach resident and sand dune fan Tony Gonzalez, the daunting Ravens defense, the steady leg of Stephen Gostowksi, and late season addition Ahmad Bradshaw who was the difference between hoisting the championship banner and an early exit for the top team of the regular season.
So it’s time to pop the champagne corks and parade around the city! Not sure exactly what it will be, but pretty sure I’ll have to commemorate the momentous occasion sometime this New Year’s weekend.
