In the most stunning upset in CTDB Super Bowl history, Gang Green defeated the heavily favored, perennial championship contender Chunky Monkeys. Backing their way into the playoffs on a 3 game losing streak and a 5-8 regular season record, Gang Green got hot at just the right time. Such a dramatic upset has not been seen since the likes of the Giants championship run over the undefeated Patriots and even more so Broadway Joe's guaranteed win for the true Green and White. No doubt this unlikely win will go down in history alongside those memorable games.
No one believed the Gang could overcome such great odds, defeating last year's champion and winner of the division, Battle Angels on their way to the Big Game. The last few years however, CTDB has been a league of parity where anyone can beat anyone on any given week. Green's strategy of being good enough to make the playoffs and getting hot at the right time paid off in spades.
"I'm still in shock. This is truly a dream come true. Splitting the championship with good friend GM Jon in 2007 was awesome, but finally winning a championship outright is extremely satisfying and I can't put into words how good it feels," said GM Greg on the field after the game.
Randy Moss, Super Bowl MVP, and one of the biggest steals in league history said in response to recent criticism about his play, "This championship is even sweeter than my monster season in 2007. Despite all the haters out there I'm a team player and winning this championship outright is what it's all about."
"I'm going to really enjoy this one. I know how hard it is to get here. Even though I didn't get the start in the Super Bowl I know we did it the right way, as a team," said Hines Ward, who has been with Gang Green from the beginning and his days seem to be numbered as he is a free agent next year. Ward was benched at the very last minute in favor of newly acquired Jerome Harrison in a brilliant move that may have sealed the deal to the Green's 2nd championship.
After years of consistently winning with no name talent, Gang Green could be on the rise with young talent in Vincent Jackson and Sidney Rice and possibly finally finding a franchise quarterback in Matt Schaub, but next season can wait as they savor the incredible feeling of winning their very own undisputed championship.
