One team is looking for its second Super Bowl title.
The other team is looking to avoid its second Super Bowl loss.
It's the Super Bowl we've all been waiting for: the Channel 4 News Team vs. World of Noise.
OK, so, it's not exactly.
But that's what we have. The News Team rode the Jamaal Charles wave and rolled past the Toasters with a 142.3-99 win, while the World of Noise slipped by Fear and Loathing with a 104.3-95.4 win.
It was a dream day for the News Team, who will soon have a bunch of new quotes to use. I just saw the new Anchorman movie hours ago, but I'll spare you the spoilers.
There were several quotes I could use to appropriately describe the ass-whooping that Jamaal Charles provided, but again, I don't want to spoil it.
So instead, let's talk about Charles' day. We haven't seen a fantasy day from a running back like this in the JFL ever, and the last time I've seen a day like that was Shaun Alexander's 5-TD day for the Seahawks in 2002. I remember it well because it was my first Super Bowl championship year in fantasy football. I drafted LaDainian Tomlinson No. 1 overall, Shaun Alexander in the second round, Donovan McNabb in the third, and in the 10th round, I picked up this little-known rookie named Clinton Portis.
Starting three RBs a week, I destroyed everyone and cruised to the title. It was nice.
I was confident every week.
Just as confident as Nick.
As he, Ryan and I exchanged texts about Ryan Tannehill's strong day, Nikish said that "Jamaal Charles will save me."
Save him he did. He scored five TDs and 57.1 fantasy points, a new JFL record for RBs, to make the Toasters cry.
The only thing that made it better for the Toasters was the photoshop by the News Team. Ah, the old toaster burning flute scene. A great outtake from Anchorman. If you ask me, they should have left it in the movie.
Early on, in the News Team's matchup with the Toasters, things were going Dottsville's way. The Seahawks were racking up a lot of points and Nick Foles was struggling.
But then the Eagles started picking up garbage points — a lot of them — enough to get him 45.1 points, more than enough to beat the Toasters.
For the Noise, it was a similar fortune with DeSean Jackson. With the margin of victory only 8.9 points, it was clutch for the Noise to get a long pass play and a late TD to push Jackson's final tally to 27.5. It made the difference.
Without that, we're talking about the Fear going to the Super Bowl. But his ticket to the big game was spoiled when Knowshon Moreno and Matt Forte both decided to score less than their season average. Moreno missed his average by more than 10 points and that seriously hurt him.
Production from the RB position was just the opposite for the Noise, who got 17.1 from Steven Jackson, making that first-round pick all worth it. He also got 22.1 from DeMarco Murray in the late afternoon game to solidify the win.
For Murray, that marks five straight games with double-digits. He could have — and should have —had even more points this past week, but the Cowboys don't know how to run the ball when they're winning a game. It's not like they struggled with running plays. They just struggled to call a run play. Why throw the ball when you're up by two scores in the fourth quarter, especially when you have a QB notorious for giving up leads in the fourth quarter with poorly timed interceptions?
Can someone answer that question for me?
It baffles me. But I'm, of course, OK with it. I love watching the Cowboys lose, almost as much as I love beating Parker in fantasy sports.
