Fat Jubas (124) vs Philadelphia Phreaks (66)
The Jubas are already making history. No team has had a better shot of repeating as champions. Eric's team powered its way through the regular season -- avoiding the first to worst curse -- and upended the Phreaks for a chance to go to the Super Bowl and possibly, dare we say it, repeat as CTDB Champions.
Buffy has won two rings already, but not two in a row. Could this lone Spunky Misunderstood Genius do what so many Inscrutable Drama Kings could not? Guess we'll find out.
The Phreaks have been in a state of collapse ever since franchise player Donovan McNabb went down to injury. Is it safe to say that McNabb is unclutch now? I mean, he's fabulous but his injury issues seem to doom the Phreaks each and every year.
Donovan's replacement, Jeff Garcia, put up a respectable 16 points but his primary WR, Donte Stallworth, notched a big fat zero. Nobody else on the team stepped up either. Julius Jones had 2 pts, Roy Williams had 1 pt, and only future star Maurice Jones-Drew rumbled for 20 points. As of Monday Night, TJ Houshmanzilli had yet to play, but it's safe to say that he's not scoring 50+ for the miracle win.
What can the Phreaks do? You can't lose your number one QB (Donovan) and your number one RB (Clinton Portis) and expect to win, can you?
The Jubas rode Frank Gore (25) and Laveranues Coles (26) to an easy semi-final win. They'll likely face Chunky in the Super Bowl and guess who were the primary names in that mid-season trade between Chunky and Jubas -- Gore and Coles. After handing Eric a championship last year with the trade of Shaun Alexander, could Evan beat himself again when Gore and Coles take over the game next weekend?
Oh man, that would be ugly. Even worse if Shaun himself comes back for a huge game next week (along with Gore) to defeat LDT and LJ, denying Evan his first championship. By the way, give it up for Patriots Defense -- four interceptions, four sacks, and one long ass touchdown.
Side Note: Both of these franchises have changed names in the recent past. The Jubas used to be known as the Flaming Shrapnel and the Phreaks used to be TAGHeuer. Just an interesting tidbit.
