Grand finale
In this week's Wall of Champions in my column, there were three glaring omissions. I'd like to blame our current interim sports editor Matt Goul for those.
Matt himself was the lucky winner of the Morning Journal Fantasy Football League (we give the big prize to the total points winner), while former news editor Jason Sample luckily won the Super Bowl. Also, our newest member to the sports staff, Francis X. Bova III, won two of his fantasy football leagues -- the Westpark Fantasy Football Association and the Lancaster, PA. League. Goul decided to delete them from my column.
"You can give us props in your blog," he said.
Well, here are their props. We were jokingly chiding Goul for his snub of Bova in print all day today. I guess that's what he gets for being the new guy.
Goul's team, Indians Forever (he's an Oberlin High School graduate who loves the old nickname), won his first-ever fantasy crown in ANY league, including baseball and basketball. Goul is very happy with his first prize. He won't shut up about it.
Sample's team, You're In Sample (get it?), rallied from being the No. 7 seed (out of eight teams)to win the big game. This is a perfect example for why the Super Bowl winner should not win your league's main prize, any fluke team can do it.
Bova's teams are the Centenary College Gentlemen (WFFA) and Foreign Exchange (Lancaster). In the WFFA, it was Bova's sixth championship in the last 13 years. I'm already looking forward to his addition to the MJFFL.
As for me, I missed the playoffs for the second-straight year in the MJFFL and finished seventh in points. In my other two leagues, I went from being runner-up to missing the playoffs in one and from runner-up to barely qualifying for the playoffs in the other. It is my first year of not winning any prizes at all after five winning seasons in a row. I chalk it up to rotten luck.
I hope this blog was enjoyable for you readers. This was our first attempt at it. There were some kinks we ironed out along the way, and there will probably be more. I enjoyed writing it, and I look forward to bringing it back. I may do a few posts as the year goes on with some preliminary rankings, so feel free to check back again.
Happy New Year to you all!
