Playa Del Rey, CA --
Well, there was suspense but as jubilant Jammers fans celebrated their home team's CTDB Super Bowl victory on Tuesday, it was pretty apparent that the suspense wasn't really all that great. T-shirts were printed before the game had even started, victory mugs were being handed out on the streets. After all this was the same Jammer team that steamrolled its way to a 11-2 regular season, tops in the league. This was the same Jammer team that scored almost 1700 points this season in 15 games or 113 points per game, also good for first in the league. Fast forward to last week's championship game.
The cinderella Shrapnel, starting a team that was almost worse than the Bad News Bears, really stood no chance. The game was over before it started. Despite a lack of true passing attack, it really didn't matter - the Jammer backfield of Priest Holmes and Ahman Green combined for almost 700 total points this season. Marvelous Harrison also did his part by chipping in 217 points, good for the 5th best receiver so far this season. But thats all the team needed to dominate this league ... a little bit of passing and a whole LOT of running.
Jammer President, Lei Pan, in his first interview since his team's victory spoke to ESPN's Chris Berman. "This has been a great season for our fans and for our team. A whole lot of credit goes out to Ahman and PH. Those guys were unbelievable this season. Its certainly taken awhile but I must say it was worth the wait. We've been a good team for 3 straight years now but it takes a lot of good fortune as well to make it all work. We finally did it."
Former Charger quarterback, Sean Salisbury, broke down the Jammers' season: "The Jammer's unbelievable season can be directly attributed to two things: 1. Ahman Green and Priest Holmes and 2. Management and Coaching. There is no question that runningbacks are crucial to this league and the Jammers proved just that. The Jammers really had no viable passing game outside of Marvin Harrison and they absolutely dominated on the offensive side of the football. Outside of a handful of runningbacks including the Monkeys' Ladainian Tomlinson, Ahman and Priest are truly in a league of their own.
However, even more importantly, I believe the Jammers' success can be attributed even more to the team's management this season. The team made some great acquisitions, engineered some of the lopsided trades in the league's history and employed terrific play-calling this seasons. Weekly pickups of the various defenses have proved to be invaluable. The trade for Ahman, Mike Vick and Marvin will probably go down as one of the ridiculous trades in league history. And if you think about it, the Jammers did all this with Vick on the bench. How scary is that? Next season can be even worse for the rest of the league."
Tight Ends:
Sources close to the team told CTDB Insider that Pan was so jubilant about his team's victory that he invited his entire staff including his personal entourage of mathematicians, statisticians and financial analysts to his mansion on the California coast, otherwise known as the Palace of Pan. Heavily guarded in secrecy by numerous security gates, rumors indicate that the Palace of Pan dwarfs the neighboring Hearst Castle in both size and luxury. Filled with computers, computer games, dlp technologies, wall scrolls, magic cards, luxury vehicles, and nerdy chinese boys ... the place is heaven for geeks. Some of us are obviously more blessed than others.
Good win to the Jammers.
