Over the years, there have been plenty of “shoulda, coulda, woulda” instances, but none greater than the moment where I sat with Pick No. 6 in the JFL draft and watched the clock tick down to zero.
With all the wideouts gone that I had on my list, I found myself in a back-and-forth battle between Todd Gurley and Jay Ajayi.
I really wanted to pick Gurley, but I was so confident in the rest of my draft strategy and Melvin Gordon — my fourth-round keeper — that I had to go with the guy who proved himself a year ago, Ajayi.
His season was derailed from Week 1 when he didn’t even play due to a hurricane. It continued to get worse after that and I was left with a very unreliable back.
Meanwhile, Gurley finished the season as the No. 1 RB putting up LaDainian Tomlinson-like numbers, including back-to-back 44-point weeks in the postseason — too bad for World of Noise it came the two weeks after he was eliminated from the playoffs.
If he had survived Week 14, he would be the topic of this Super Bowl recap.
If I had drafted him over Ajayi, I would be the topic of this Super Bowl recap. Yes, I did the math. I would have went 9-4 and won the Super Bowl easily.
Instead, this recap is about Channel 4 News Team and his JFL-record third Super Bowl championship as he eked out a 75.2-50.2 win over Jawz Attack.
For him, LeSean McCoy and Ben Roethlisberger did the bulk of the work in the playoffs. Their combined 38.6 points in the Super Bowl was all News Team get his name etched on the trophy for a third time.
It was truly the toilet bowl. The two four seeds showing that the regular season this year meant nothing for the division winners and the points champion and the JFL commissioner who thought he had a chance.
I’d try to find something more to say here, but I keep getting distracted when looking at the boxscore. Seeing a big ZERO next to Michael Crabtree’s name is quite possibly one of the most aggravating things in my life.
Well, aside from that snubbing Gurley back in August.
Wait, wasn’t this recap supposed to be about Nikish? Oh well, congrats man. You’re truly the JFL King.
King Nikish, first of his name, breaker of toilets, father of dragons. … OK, maybe not that last part, but he certainly sits on an Iron Throne in the JFL. ... Oh wait, that's not an Iron Throne... It's porcelain. It looks fancy with all those spikes, but in reality, it's just a glorified portapotty.
