Bro...
The NFL playoffs are basically set and that's nice and all but, the largest event of the football season occurred Monday night in Coleiveland. Cole Walters' shittily named "Fuck The Playoff System" are your semi-official WRBL Champions and we should all simultaneously feel happy for Cole and ashamed of ourselves for letting such an average team (8-8 in the hypothetical standings) go on a run. The Travis Kelce 80-yard touchdown on a screen pass will go down as the WRBL equivalent of David Tyree's helmet catch as both were moments of pure "Oh shit, this might actually happen". At the end of it all, there was no sweeter treat in a week filled with Christmas cookies than watching Cole celebrate his first championship win.

Cole Walters
I fully expect Cole to lose the trophy at some point.

Besides Antonio Brown, Travis Kelce and Dak Prescott leading a 93-point comeback, there were other matchups in the Bro League this week. Scott FINALLY started Ezekiel Elliott again and still managed to come up ten points short of 3rd place, behind Nick Zurawski. I am honestly more disappointed in Scott's playoff run than my own season. Speaking of my own season, I was not last so that's a cause for one sigh of relief. Unfortunately, Sneen wins the yet-to-exist Bakmoon trophy despite finishing with the same regular season record as our league champion. Moon also won and finished in 5th because why the fuck not? How good was your team in a league where 7-7 was best, 7-7 was worst and 1-14 finished right in the middle? Hate to be a downer but, I think that means we're all just terrible.

Thank you once again to the Aschebrook household on hosting this year's championship weekend. The annual meeting saw many rule changes and other proposals that were shot down either by vote or coin flips. Topics discussed included a set amount of money required for entry next year, a possible BakMoon punishment for the last-place finisher and the future of Evan Moon. I do not recall a single bit of what we decided but, it certainly inspired some interesting ideas to think about before next year's draft. Oh yeah... and Cole Walters almost died but "dreams do come true!" and he survived near impalement from the trophy.

The WRBL Year In Review is coming sometime before the 2017 NFL season and award ballots will be unveiled in the coming days but until then, good luck this offseason and may the NFL postseason work out in your favor. Here are the final standings and your first and second All-Bro Teams...
