Killers Dream Season Comes Crashing Down

Killers Dream Season Comes Crashing Down

   Tanners Bar in Grille in Waldo was the setting for what some had been calling "The Game of the Century". Shadows bouncing off the brick walls, back lit by the glow of flat screen TV's and neon beer signs told the story of  last years runner up, the PV Monkeys, taking on the Keckism Killers. The PV  Monkeys had made the finals last year before losing a heart breaker to the Firechefs. The Killers were a rip roaring buzz saw of a team that had dominated the K-State's Finest Bro's Fantasy Football League in 2014 by winning their last 11 consecutive games. Last week on a bye the Killers had scored 169 points! Conventional wisdom held that the PV Monkeys would hang around for a bit but the Keckism Killers had to much talent too be denied a shot at the Martin. 

Rival GM's and Roommates pose for a pictur        

     19 Minutes into Sundays games everything had changed. The Monkeys had jumped out to a quick 18-7 lead setting off alarms in the Killers Locker room. Things got worse as an early touchdown by the Monkeys Mike Evans set them up with a commanding 25-7 lead that led GM Pearce McKinney to get a little lippy with his opponent across the table. Killers GM Jason Stanley would not back down from a barking match and loudly celebrated a 15 yard rush by the normally flat footed Aaron Rodgers. A Pick Six by Monkeys QB Matt Ryan brings another ouburst of enthusiasm from the Killers Bench. 

    The early turning point came at 12:57 when Matt Ryan took a vicious hit from a Steelers Defender. Ryan took a shot to the chin followed by the back of his head slamming into the ground causing a clear case of the Sketti Brains. The Killers Bench exploded in celebration, if Monkeys QB Matt Ryan was out for the day this game could be over! Monkeys GM Pearce McKinney stepped out of the owners box to check on his star QB. Whatever McKinney said worked as on the next play Matt Ryan showed his balls were made of stone when he threw a perfect strike in the end zone to put the Monkeys up 34-12. QB Matt Ryan ended the day with 20 points, 15 more than Killers Stud QB Aaron Rodgers managed to put up. 

Killers GM Jason Stanley watches his season end. 

        With halftime of the noon games upon us things were looking bleak for the Killers. They were down 42-16 and questions were swirling about why GM Jason Stanley had kept drug addict Josh Gordon in the lineup over WR Mike Wallace who was on pace for a 16 point game. Did Stanley not realize the Browns were starting rookie QB Johnny Football? What about his decision to keep the Patriots Defense and their 20 points on the bench? At halftime Stanley predicted "We will not go quietly into the night, we will score 100 points" but his body language showed a man who was already beaten although he claimed "We will regroup in the locker room and get within 15 when the noon games end. 

          Monkeys GM Pearce McKinney seemed a little more upbeat saying " Our stars haven't found the end zone yet and we are up 26. If any of them can get some scores it could get ugly quick.

         The Killers would not go down easy though as a late Gronkowski TD made it a 54-33 game....but when Jordy Nelson dropped an easy 60 yard TD by Aaron Rodgers Killers GM Jason Stanley was quoted as saying "There is a higher power that doesn't want us to win"

Tucker and McKinney Will face off for the martin next week.  

        By the end of the 3pm games the Killers were down 19 points and needed Demarco Murray to outscore Jimmy Graham by 20 points. As Stanley said "We're living on a prayer". Murray did his part putting up a gutsy 20 point performance on 31 rushes to give the Killers a brief 1 point lead. But it wasn't meant to be for the Killers as Jimmy Graham put the game away with a quick 10 yard reception in the first quarter of Monday Night Football. 

      The Killers dream season was over at 8pm central time, another season filled with promise ended prematurely. But with every rain shower comes a rainbow, and this year's rainbow is the Monkeys who have knocked off the favorite and will face the Cobb's next week with the Martin on the line. Monkeys GM Pearce McKinney was there last year but came up short, this year he plans on popping the cherry saying "Winning the Martin is something I can't really describe as I haven't done it yet. If I were to pop my cherry this year, well it would be VERY NICE"

1. Keckism Killers

Record- 11-2
Points Scored- 1448
Highest Point Total- 138 In week 8 and week 12
Streak- W10
Career Playoff Record- 1-2

The Killers are riding a 10 game win streak and have put group home member Justin VanHeche on notice that they intend to spend winter with The Martin. With over 200 more points scored then the next highest team the Killers should the the hands down favorite, but questions remain about GM Jason Stanley's ability to win the league.

We reached a couple of GM's who requested anonymity due to potential domestic issues, here is what they had to say. "Stans? Winning it all? This guy was a founding member of the league and he's only won 1 playoff game. Thats all you need to know"  "I'd have more faith in him winning it all if he did something other than shit the bed every year in the Fantasy Baseball Playoffs"

When reached for comment GM Jason Stanley was not concerned saying "With this football team, we feel good about our matchups. We will be rooting against the dawgs on the other side of the bracket though because honestly I'm scared shitless of playing them."

3. Raw Dawgs

Record- 8-5
Points Scored- 1244
Highest Point Total- 123 in week 13
Streak- W1
Career Playoff Record- 2-3

At one point the Dawgs were 2-5 and wondering what they had to do in order to win a game. GM Matt Murphy had an idea, he mortgaged his future to acquire Demarious Thomas and Calvin Johnson. Since acquiring those Studs the Dawgs have been undefeated and seem to be hitting their stride at the right time scoring 122 and 123 points in the last 2 weeks. "Our Dawgs leave it all out on the field. Demarious and Calvin have been key acquisitions. Someone different steps up every week which attests to the diverse corp of talent we have." Says GM Matt Murphy.

If the Dawgs can win the KSFBFFL title this year GM Matt Murphy will join GM's Ben Keck and Sven Murphy in 2maw glory as he has already won the Baseball Title this year.

GM Murphy doesn't want to hear anything about that quite yet though "Comparing myself to those 2 all time greats wouldn't be appropriate yet. We are going to take it game by game and see where we are at the end"

Contenders-

2. My Lucky Tate

Record- 8-5
Points Scored- 1129
Highest Point Total- 127 in week 4
Win Streak- W1
Career Playoff Record- 0-0

Despite this being their first playoff appearance alot of pundits have selected the Lucky Tate's as a dark horse candidate to take home The Martin. GM Casey Wayne Walker rolled the dice on draft day taking Andrew Luck and has rode his Stallion to a first round bye. With RB Ahmad Bradshaw out he expects big things from his backup, recently acquired Daniel Herring


4. PV Porch Monkeys

Record-8-5
Points Scored- 1208
Highest Point Total- 132 in week 8
Win Streak- L1
Career Playoff Record- 2-1

The PV Porch Monkeys turned the after burners on in their first playoff appearance last year making it all the way to the championship game before falling to the FireChefs (Undoubtedly the GOAT). The Monkeys are hungry for another chance at glory but ended up on the wrong side of the bracket.

GM Pearce McKinney says "We have had the score of last years championship game in our weight room all year. It's time to take back what is ours! It will be a tough road and we have our work cut out for us" Having to face the Savvy Taints in week 1 and if they win the Killers in Week 2 is certainly a challenge for the Monkeys in only their second playoff appearance.

5. 50 Shades of Taint

Record- 7-6
Points Scored- 1132
Highest Point Total- 124 in week 10
Win Streak- L1
Career Playoff Record- 4-4, One Championship(2012)

As the only team with Championship experience the Taints cant be taken lightly. Unfortunately for them they will have a tough road to hoe as they take on Hungry Porch Monkeys in the first round. GM Sven Murphy plans to "Treat this game like every other game on our schedule. Our youngsters have been there, yes, and I think they have the poise and focus to dominate"


If they somehow get past the Monkeys they will have to knock off a well rested Goliath in second round. GM Sven Murphy doesn't see that as a challenge "Honestly, if we can get past the Monkeys in the First Round I don't see anything stopping us from a second championship. The Killers are led by Marty Schottenhiemer and we expect to face Andy Reid and the Lucky Tates in the title game, Cmon bro, we got this"

6. Slobb on my Cobb

Record- 7-6
Points Scored- 1075
Highest Point Total- 99 in week 1
Win Streak- L2
Career Playoff Record-0-0

If there is one team that does not belong in the playoffs this year its the Cobbs from KCMO. Despite never scoring more than 100 points in a game and losing their last 2 games they somehow snuck in the backdoor. GM Tristan Trupka had this to say "The back door eh? You know I'm dam good at sneaking in the back door, in fact I plan to backdoor my way all the way to the title"
