Wacko for Flacco doesn't get past AFC Championship

With the Conference Championships on the horizon, a playoff simulation using Madden 09 seemed mandatory.

NFC Championship: Eagles over Cardinals, 20-17 in Overtime.

AFC Championship: Steelers over Ravens, 10-3.

Superbowl: Eagles over Steelers, 17-10.

While this site is not intended to boast about our infrequent accomplishments, we think a little self-aggrandizing is OK when it involves winning your fantasy football league.

I (Nick) am pretty proud of my "Everything Bagel" boys. I had no business winning this league (note my week 17 lineup) nor did I even deserve to be in the playoffs. But rules are rules and I bent them as necessary.

There was adversity aplenty: Tom Brady and Braylon Edwards chosen in rounds one and two respectivly, the weathering of a Steven Jackson mid-season vacation, and the desperate decision to start Tashard Choice and Jamaaaaaaaaaal Charles in the finals.

Many thanks to the three-round playoff system, Philip Rivers, one point per reception and Jeff Fisher's goal line offense. Mild apoligies to my friend "Im a F----- Soljuh." Good luck lamenting your blown fantasy season and the underacheiving Cleveland Browns.

Please send me my check ASAP.
