And maybe we can add in a perm this time.
And Craig will have to call himself Jack Lame until 2014.
It was a storybook season for the Channel 4 News Team's Nick Nikish, who won his second Super Bowl title in franchise history.
His first Super Bowl championship was amazing.
The sequel?
Well, let's just say it was far more entertaining than the sequel that just hit theaters last week.
The News Team rode the wave of Jamaal Charles, Eric Decker, Josh Gordon and Nick Foles to win 106.3-93.3 in JFL Super Bowl VIII. For the News Team. He becomes just the second JFL team to win a pair of championships.
The Noise becomes the third team to lose a pair of Super Bowls, but it didn't have to be that way.
The lineup he had set when the JFL Super Bowl VIII preview was written would have scored 104.8 points, and had he not started the Vikings defense — ranked 25th in the JFL — he would have won.
The Noise made the right move to pick up the Titans defense, slated to face the Jaguars, but he never put them into the lineup.
He gave me some lame excuses, but who cares. His other decisions on Sunday made it a non-factor.
First, he moved Harry Douglass out of the lineup (he averages about 9 points a week) for Andre Caldwell (he averages 2.9 per week).
Well, Caldwell failed to reach that average, getting just 1.6. Douglas didn't reach his average either, but 5.6 points would have been nice when added with Matt Ryan's 27.
But at the last second, he switched from Ryan to Jay Cutler.
How many times do I say, stick with your guns?
You trade for Matt Ryan to be your franchise QB two years ago and this is what you repay him with? A benching in the Super Bowl?
Why would you do that?
I know I wrote in the preview that I didn't like Ryan's chances against San Francisco, but that didn't mean bench him. You can't bench your No. 1s. Especially in the Super Bowl.
The News Team's No. 1 QB was on the bench.
Or was he? I think Nick Foles has assumed the role of No. 1 for the News Team. That's right, good bye Aaron Rodgers.
He is my early-bird special pick to be the No. 1 overall pick in 2014, a pick that the News Team certainly will not have after winning the Super Bowl.
Ah, winning the Super Bowl. It sounds nice, especially for Nick Foles.
Man, I hope we can say the same thing in February, and I'd certainly welcome a similar performance. Foles scored 25.2 points with 230 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday night, and more importantly, he kept the ball away from DeSean Jackson, who had only four catches for 29 yards.
Foles continues to impress the fantasy world and he ends 2013 on a high note.
He came into the season undrafted because Mike Vick was slated to be the QB. He was picked up by the Noise's rival, Houserville, on Oct. 16 only to be dropped on Oct. 24, the Noise's birthday.
On Nov. 6, he joined the News Team and his destiny was sealed.
And now, on Dec. 25, he's reading about how he clinched his second Super Bowl title and his second year of displaying the JFL Super Bowl trophy. Crystal will be happy, I'm sure.
