Super Bowl I

Weeks after the actual victory over the Battle Angels in the SuperBowl I, analysts are still shaking their heads in disbelief as they look back at team Buffy's accomplishments this past year.

Winning its last 10 games to clinch the championship trophy, GM Roger Cheng took over the league while showcasing the most dominant, explosive, and consistent lineup the league will probably see in quite a long time. Averaging over 115 points/game in the regular season (the Chunky Monkeys were the only other team to average over 100 points/game during the regular season), Buffy was truly unstoppable in the latter half of the season.

Anchored by the best passing game in the league, Buffy relied on an explosive offensive scheme similar to the St. Louis Rams. With veteran QB Rich Gannon at the helm, standout receivers David Boston, Rod Smith, Torry Holt and Quadry Ismail all had banner years. Accompanied by the incomparable Marshall Faulk, there was no apparent weakness to this juggernaut.

Monkey's GM Evan Shiue commented after the season, "Roger did a spectacular job over there. While most teams had a few holes somewhere in their lineup, Buffy had none." Commissioner Jon Yang was one of the first into the locker room to congratulate the team after their championship victory. "This game was just an example of what Buffy had been doing all season -- dominating. I certainly don't look forward to playing them next year."

With a strong nucleus going into next season, Buffy will certainly be a leading contender once again. Owners around the league will have their hands full as they go back to the drawing board for next year.
