AT LAST!

2010 BCFFL CHAMPIONS
DELTA MARAUDERS

Owner: Shane Kim
(Photo taken: Houston;  2006 BCFFL Draft)

TOM BRADY EXPRESS DELIVERS AGAIN!
DMs CELEBRATE 1st BCFFL TITLE!
159-92

TOM BRADY
26-points

The Delta Marauders were crowned BCFFL Champions after defeating the Backdoor Bandits, 159-92, win Week 16. The Marauders 159-points were the highest total of all 10 teams in the league, although they were not eligible for the $10 prize. That honor, for the third week in a row and for the entirety of the playoffs goes once again to the Parking Thugs with 126-points.

The DMs good luck charm and top draft pick, Tom Brady, continued his strong play with 26-points on 140 passing yards and 3 TDs in victory over Buffalo. And it's fitting that in our league, of all leagues, that drafts QB early and often, the title game featured 56-points out of the DMs quarterbacks (Brady/Roethlisberger) alone, and a total of 55-points out of all the RBs on both the Marauders (Blount, Bush, and Forte) and Bandits (Turner, McFadden, and Johnson) combined. And that includes this year's #1 draft pick, Chris Johnson.

In essence, this game validated both our drafting strategy of taking QBs early, as well as Shane's unorthodox  draft strategies. For example, Ben Roethlisberger, his team's highest scorer in the title game with 30-points, was not eligible to play until Week 5. It hurt the DMs in the sense that they entered the playoffs as the #4 seed, but paid off in that he came through with such a strong total when it mattered the most. Shane is now among champions as a BCFFL owner.

And lest you think this was a case of someone getting lucky at the end, consider this: the Delta Marauders finished the season with a 7-game winning streak. Their last loss came in Week 9 (Nov 2-8) to the Megatons, 119-107.

From Week 10 forward, the Marauders never lost. They tied the Allie-Gators in Week 8, 101-101. They dropped 206-points on the Parking Thugs in Week 7 and earned that week's $10 prize. And in Week 6, the Marauders actually lost their only other match-up with the Backdoor Bandits this season, 132-123. So, from going 1-2-1 in Weeks 6-9, to 7-0 after that, Shane's team became a championship contender and was able to take it all the way to winning it all.

PATRIOTS DST
15-points

The Patriots DST also came to play. They recorded 2 sacks on Ryan Fitzpatrick, recovered 4 fumbles, had 3 interceptions, and racked up 15-points on the Bills.

BEN ROETHLISBERGER
30-points

"Big" Ben Roethlisberger saved his best for last. Roethlisberger trounced the Panthers to the tune of 320 passing yards, a TD, and rushing TD on his way to 30-points.

MIKE WALLACE
20-points

One of Roethlisberger's key targets, Mike Wallace, caught a 43-yard TD pass and had 104 receiving yards against Carolina.

MATT FORTE
24-points

Bears RB Matt Forte had a strong outing in the snow against the N.Y. Jets with 113 rushing yards, a 22-yard TD run, and 56 receiving yards.

LeGARRETTE BLOUNT
16-points

Draft day afterthought-turned-Rookie-of-the-Year, LeGarrette Blount erupted for 164 rushing yards and 16-points. Making the most of his shot with Tampa Bay and the Marauders, Blount remained a steady force throughout the past 7 games.

RODDY WHITE
14-points

"Rowdy" Roddy White had 43 receiving yards and a 7-yard TD catch on Monday night against New Orleans.

The rest of Marauders line up included Michael Bush (2), Vernon Davis (7),  and Jeff Reed (5). Substantial bench points came from Sam Bradford (20) although he less productive than either Brady or Ben Roethlisberger. Nick Folk (10) and the 49ers DST (16) might have been worth consideration. Overall, the Marauders total surpassed 9 other teams in Week 16 and was good enough to clinch the league championship.

MICHAEL VICK
31-points

Once again, Michael Vick gave the Backdoor Bandits all that he possibly could. Playing in a game delayed by 48 hours, Vick threw for 263 yards and a 3-yard TD pass, to go along with a 10-yard TD run and 63 rushing yards for 31-points. Sadly, he was left without much support in Week 16. This year Michael Vick has gone from dog fighting pariah to NFL MVP. He's earned praise from the toughest fans in the country playing for Philadelphia, and he's given this team a shot at a Super Bowl by qualifying them for postseason play as the #3 seed in the NFC.

REX GROSSMAN
13-points

A little bit of irony here, as Donovan McNabb, excused from Philadelphia thanks to the arrival of Michael Vick, goes to the bench in Washington in favor of Rex Grossman. Rex had a solid outing in Week 15 which helped the Bandits advance to the title game. In Week 16, Grossman passed for 182 yards and a 1-yard TD for 13-points. Perhaps Matt Cassel, back from an appendectomy, would have been a good bet with 41-points on 314 passing yards and 3 TDs (14, 5, 75) although the scouting report heading into Week 16 might not have indicated he was capable of such a strong performance. Cassel helped KC clinch the AFC West and eliminate the Raiders from the postseason.

DAVID BUEHLER
11-points

The only other double-digit performance from the Backdoor Bandits in Week 16 was placekicker, David Buehler, of the Dallas Cowboys. He had 2 FGs (42, 52) and 2 XPs for 11-points in a 27-26 loss to Arizona on Christmas Day.

The Bandits bench was the real story of the game. They bench wound up with more points - 177 - than the Marauders starting 10. However, how do you start Danny Woodhead (20), Kenny Britt (28), Michael Crabtree (32), Mike Williams (24), or Brandon Pettigrew (17) over DeSean Jackson, Michael Turner, Santana Moss, or Darren McFadden?

Had the Bandits gone with Vick, Cassel, Woodhead, McFadden, Crabtree, Britt, Williams, Pettigrew, Buehler, and the Jets DST, they would have finished Week 16 with 220-points. It is what it is. Clearly we had the league's two best teams in the biggest game of the year. Congratulations to Greg and the Backdoor Bandits on coming up with a second place finish and better luck next season.

Meanwhile, this one was a long time coming for the Marauders. After 16 years of BCFFL action, many of which Shane has participated, though we missed a year or two to deployment (thank you again for your service to our country) winning the BCFFL Championship seemed like the impossible dream. It has eluded the best of us. It took Derrick 10 years to win it all, and now he's a two-time champion. But look around the league and you'll see just how hard it is to win it the BCFFL Championship. We have a very competitive league from top to bottom.

I'll never forget the year I won the BCFFL Championship and finished 15-1. You know who that one loss came to? You guessed it: the Delta Marauders. 

Congratulations, Shane, on becoming this year's BCFFL Champions. You are THE MAN!

3rd PLACE: MEGATONS vs PREDATORS

THE MEGATONS
3rd PLACE!

109 (and counting) - 107

DREW BREES and MATT RYAN

The Megatons wrapped up an impressive victory in Week 16's BCFFL Consolation Game. This year's game was a match-up of the #1 and #2 teams in the league as the Extra Crispy Division Champions, The Megatons, battled the Original Division Champion, Predators.

Although both of their QBs, Drew Brees and Matt Ryan, have yet to play, The Megatons have clinched a victory with 109-points because the Predators starting ten have played and totaled 107-points in defeat. With the additional points in tonight's huge NFC South battle, the match-up will be official. What is official, however, is that The Megatons finish the playoffs in 3rd place.

With two games to play in Week 16, the BCFFL Championship Game between the Delta Marauders and Backdoor Bandits is too early to call, though the DMs have a commanding 145-53 lead heading into tonight's game.

DWAYNE BOWE
35-points

One of the heroes of Week 16 for The Megatons is Dwayne Bowe who had 153 receiving yards and a 75-yard TD reception.

MILES AUSTIN
21-points

Bowe's partner-in-crime, Miles Austin, had 115 receiving yards and a 37-yard TD reception on Saturday against Arizona. Combined, The Megatons WRs had 56-points on 363 receiving  yards, plus an additional two TDs from the tight end position, for a total of 4 ReTDs. The Predators were able to muster only 7-points from both Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Johnson. It was simply a down week for the Predators WRs though because on the bench was just 2-points out Deion Branch and Andre Johnson was out for the game against Denver.
ROB GRONKOWSKI
25-points

One of the many Patriots receivers to reap the rewards of Tom Brady who spreads a defense like no other is Rob Gronkowski. In Week 16, the Pats tight end had 54 receiving yards and a pair of 8-yard TD receptions for 25-points.

STEVEN JACKSON
13-points

The last major producer for The Megatons in Week 16 was Steven Jackson who had 13-points on 48 rushing yards, including a 1-yard TD run.

And so, the Extra Crispy Division may wind up with a sweep of the title and 3rd place in this weekend's final games of the post-season. The Megatons chased down the Cougars for the Extra Crispy Division title in the regular season, only to be in the way of the Tom Brady Express in the semi-finals. In the 3rd place game, The Megatons faced their old nemesis, the Predators, and gained a measure of revenge with this consolation prize victory.

ARIAN FOSTER
21-points

Arian Foster was impressive with 21-points on 91 rushing yards plus a 3-yard TD run for Houston. The Texans lost a tough game, 24-23, to Denver in Week 16. Foster also had 44 receiving yards.

JACOB TAMME
17-points

The Colts tight end, Jacob Tamme, had 78 receiving yards and an 18-yard TD catch in Oakland.

PEYTON MANNING
24-points

The Predators star QB, Peyton Manning, had 24-points with 3 TD passes in victory over Oakland. The Colts will play for the AFC South title next in the season finale.

PHILIP RIVERS
16-points

Lastly, Philip Rivers threw for 256 yards and a TD in a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Congratulations on a very impressive regular season to the Predators. Dropping two straight in the playoffs to the Backdoor Bandits and The Megatons is a lousy way to finish such a dominant season. So once again,  nice work on making it to the postseason as the league's #1 overall team. And better luck in the postseason next year.

Meanwhile, congratulations go out to The Megatons for being able to withstand a tough loss in Week 15 to the Delta Marauders and work their way back to a 3rd place finish. The fact that The Megatons were able to clinch the victory without the help of Brees and Ryan is an additional feat worthy of recognition. Your teams are always very competitive and successful, Andrew. Nice work!

NEW YORK JETS
Backdoor Bandits

We have plenty of interesting head-to-head battles including the Raiders RBs, Michael Bush vs Darren McFadden. We have the pass/catch combinations of the Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger to Mike Wallace (50-points combined last night) on the Delta Marauders; the Eagles' Michael Vick to DeSean Jackson and the Redskins' Rex Grossman to Santana Moss on the Backdoor Bandits.

The DST head-to-head features hated AFC East rivals, New England and the N.Y. Jets.  We also have a number of Atlanta Falcons in the game, including the DMs Roddy White, and the Bandits' Michael Turner and Tony Gonzalez.

This is also a battle between two teams with two strikingly different drafting philosophies. The BCFFL is rather unusual in how top heavy we draft QBs and no team sets that pace better than the Delta Marauders. They took Tom Brady and a suspended Ben Roethlisberger with their #1-2 picks in this year's draft.

Meanwhile, the Bandits went the more traditional route of drafting running backs with his top picks in Chris Johnson - the #1 overall pick - and Michael Turner.

So we will see this year, in our championship game, which drafting strategy proved to be the most effective.

We also have a team whose two starting QBs - Matt Cassel and Donovan McNabb - will be on the bench for one reason or another, while Michael Vick, arguably the league's MVP for the Eagles, went undrafted at QB. How did Rex Grossman get drafted and this guy didn't?

So, the plots are thick. It will be very exciting. Good luck to both the Delta Marauders and Backdoor Bandits this weeekend, and most importantly, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

BCFFL CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW: 16 Weeks Later (Part II)

So Ben Roethlisberger and Michael Vick were non-factors in the opening weeks of the season for either team. In fact, the Backdoor Bandits and Delta Marauders were mired around .500 and dipped either just below or just about through most of the season. But a lot of changes have occurred over the past 6 weeks that have brought both teams to this point.

Earlier you got the chance to view both team's draft day results. Now, let's see where things stand heading into Week 16. RED means the player was drafted by the owner. BLUE means the player was added after Week 1 of the season.

BCFFL CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW: The Draft (Part I)

Where were the Backdoor Bandits and Delta Marauders on draft day this season? Let's take a look at their line-ups then and now.

It's interesting to note that Michael Vick, who figures to play a key role in this year's title game, went undrafted. The first claim came in during Week 1 and a drawing was held for the rights to own Michael Vick between just five teams. The Predators were the first team to submit a claim at 4:34pm on September 12. The Backdoor Bandits were the fifth of five teams, which also included The Megatons, The Spoiler, and my team, the Gauchos. The Parking Thugs, Houston Fuzz, Cougars, and Allie-Gators passed on the Vick lottery.

In a strange twist of fate, the Bandits won that drawing (courtesy of my wife, Kari) and I guess you could say, (at least through the semifinals) the rest is history. What a head scratcher. Anyhow, we drafted with the  BACKDOOR BANDITS in the #1 position, and the DELTA MARAUDERS in the #6 position.

VICK (Bandits) vs BRADY (Marauders) in the Finals!

MICHAEL VICK
and the
(#6) BACKDOOR BANDITS
TAKE OUT THE
(#1) PREDATORS:
170-157
MICHAEL VICK
55-points

Michael Vick has emerged as a leading candidate, along with Tom Brady, for league MVP honors in 2010. His 55-points in Week 15 helped the Backdoor Bandits land a spot in this year's championship game with an amazing 170-157 victory over the defending champion, and #1-seed Predators. Vick passed for 242 yards and 3 TDs (8, 65, 13) and rushed for another TD of his own.

DeSEAN JACKSON
21-points

Playmaker DeSean Jackson saved the day for both the Eagles with his last second punt return for a game-winning TD, but also for the Bandits, who needed every one of the 16-points he earned on that spectacular return. If Jackson isn't doing it receiving the ball, he can hurt you in other ways such as this.

CHRIS JOHNSON
21-points

The league's #1 overall pick, Chris Johnson, picked up 21-points on 130 rushing yards plus a TD against AFC South rival, Houston. I'm not sure how often the #1 pick has played in our league title game, but it will be interesting to see if, in fact, Greg can take this pick all the way to the Promised Land of BCFFL gold.

JETS DST
21-points

The Jets defense and special teams (17 PA, DTD (97), 3 SACK, STY) played inspired football on the road in Pittsburgh, holding on for an important road victory, and avoiding a three-game losing streak.

PEYTON MANNING
23-points

The Predators got steady performances out of their starting QBs. Peyton Manning went to work against Jacksonville, throwing for 229 yards and 2 TDs.

PHILIP RIVERS
37-points

Philip Rivers had a monster performance drubbing the 49ers. The acquisition of Philip Rivers earlier this season from the Parking Thugs paid off with 37-points in the semifinals. Interestingly enough, the Parking Thugs scored the $10 Weekly Prize as one of the 6 eligible teams in Week 15 with 127-points.
ANDRE JOHNSON
15-points

You can see Andre Johnson matched up once again with rival Cortland Finnegan. Johnson would not be denied from scoring an TD in Houston's loss to Tennesse on his way to 58 receiving yards.


BEARS DST
27-points

Devin Hester set an NFL record with his 14th kick return for a TD on Monday night in Minnesota. The Bears DST nearly pulled off an amazing comeback victory with their 27-points. They fell 13-points shy of getting the job done. The Predators have made the miracle comeback before, but this time around, it just wasn't enough. Still, the Bears gave Brett Favre a concussion, recorded 4 sacks, 3 interceptions, and the kick return for a big day in victory over the Vikings.

End result is, the Backdoor Bandits find themselves in the title game as this year's #6 seed with perhaps the deadliest pass-catch threat in the game right now: Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson. Throw in the #1 pick in this year's draft with Chris Johnson, to go along with Michalel Turner and Darren McFadden, and maybe our #6 seed can rise all the way to the top of the mountain at the end of Week 16 with the BCFFL title as the prize!

TOM BRADY
and the
(#4) DELTA MARAUDERS
TAKE OUT
(#2) THE MEGATONS:
127-105.5

TOM BRADY
20-points

The Tom Brady Express continues to roll on. This week it was a Sunday night victory over Green Bay as Brady passed for 163 yards and 2 TDs.

BEN ROETHLISBERGER
21-points

Although Ben Roethlisberger's Steelers lost a tough one to the Jets, "Big" Ben - the surprise pick in the early rounds of our draft this season - now plays a pivotal role in leading the Delta Marauders as into the BCFFL Championship. Roethlisberger threw for 264 yards and a TD against the Jets.

MICHAEL BUSH
18-points

We may see a competition between Oakland running backs in our BCFFL title game as Michael Bush and Darren McFadden find themselves head to head. Bush had an 18-14 advantage in Week 15 with his 2 rushing TDs (both 1-yard runs).

LeGARRETTE BLOUNT
19-points

Drafted and dropped by the Gauchos, the Bucs RB with a mean right hook out of the Univerisity of Oregon, LeGarrette Blount has gone from Titans outcast to Tampa Bay rookie-of-the-year candidate. Blount had a big day in Week 15 against Detroit with 19-points on 110-yards and a 39-yard TD.

RODDY WHITE
16-points

The NFL's leading receiver, Roddy White, had a solid day for Atlanta with 16-points in Seattle. Next week, "Rowdy" Roddy White will be helping the Delta Marauders with big points in the Monday Night Football game; a HUGE game against the Saints to determine the NFC South title, but more importantly, to most likely decide the BCFFL title. This year's championship may very well be decided on White's Monday night performance.

PATRIOTS DST
13-points

The Patriots DST hopes to lighten the load for the rest of the Marauders in Week 16. They came up with 13-points on Sunday night against Green Bay, including 5 sacks, an interception, and a touchdown.

DREW BREES
29-points

The Megatons have relied on the strong, accurate arm of Superbowl MVP Drew Brees all year long. He came through in the semifinals with 29-points against Baltimore. Brees passed for 267 yards and 3TDs.

MATT RYAN
24-points

Matt Ryan also rebounded from a dismal Week 14 performance with 24-points against the Seahawks. Ryan also had 3 TDs on 174 yards passing in victory.

MILES AUSTIN
13-points

Cowboys WR Miles Austin had 13-points in a 33-30 win over the Redskins. Miles had a 3-yard TD and 38 receiving yards.

STEVEN JACKSON
17-points

Steven "Action" Jackson had a strong day against Kansas City with 17-points in defeat on Sunday. Jackson rushed for 67 yards and a 5-yard TD.

In the end, The Megatons were unable to withstand the Tom Brady Express and the Marauders simply had more big days from their line-up than they did. It's a tip of the cap to the Delta Marauders and their craftiness in the draft, reliance upon the up-and-coming stars in the league, and now, a chance to lay to rest any questions from the doubters around the league. The fact that the Marauders have a shot at the BCFFL crown in Week 16 is a testament in and of itself. Congratulations, Shane!
That brings us to this ...
