CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY

That's today in the MVRL Fantasy Football League. Loyal readers now I play fantasy baseball and football. It's a passion.

When our baseball team, The Flying Chaucers, won our first championship this Fall, Brent (my co-owner) and I celebrated 1,700 miles apart. In fact, we're still still feeling good about our title.

Last weekend was the semi-finals or Final Four for our football league. Chris (my co-owner in football) and I coach The Burrowing Owls. But we lost in the semi's. By one yard.

Had our wide receiver DeSean Jackson, whom we selected as a rookie two seasons ago, gained one more yard last Sunday, we would be playing for the championship today. He didn't so we aren't.

Had Big Ben Rothelisingtonberger, or whatever the heck his name is, not thrown a last second touchdown pass against the Packers, we would be playing for the championship today. He did so we aren't.

Had we played our back up quarterback and back up running back instead of two of our starters we'd be playing for the championship today. We didn't so we aren't.

That's fantasy football. It will haunt the Owls till next year's draft. The One That Got Away.
