Bro...
The 2019 season better bring some drama or at least some spicier memes because 2018 was a puzzle for ages 8 and below. There was no mystery surrounding who would win the league once Patrick Mahomes kept on churning out 20-30 point games week after week. Ten consecutive wins after the Mahomes and Dalvin Cook for David Johnson trade and Scott Aschebrook is our 2018 Wisconsin Rapids Bro League champion. It doesn't help that his opponent did not even try this week by leaving an inactive player in his lineup for the first time all season. It would not have eliminated the fact that Scott dropped an impressive 158 points and one player doesn't erase a 60-point deficit but still, it'd be nice if defending champion Ryan Dougherty didn't clearly give his sibling a pity victory by leaving Todd Gurley in his lineup when all Team Easy Breesy needed was C.J. Anderson off waivers and maybe flipping Eric Ebron's 1 point for Kyle Rudolph's 32 points and the championship would not have been our most lopsided final yet. Again, Scott earned this with Joe Mixon and Odell Beckham Jr. (the two players acquired in our controversial yet brave Duke Johnson trade) both out of his lineup this week and in reality, it was the far more balanced and acclaimed Mahomes/Cook trade that made the difference come playoff time. After a 1-3 start despite the Chiefs' Quarterback's incredible start to the 2018 season, my team needed a face-lift so Crazy Todd's Driveway Band sent the flaming hot St. Patrick and the injured Dalvin Cook to Scott for underperforming-at-the-time David Johnson, a first round pick that managed to eclipse a 200-point season. I told Scott that Cook would help him come playoff time once the Viking RB was fully healthy and voila, that actually happened. Of course, I also thought that the best quarterback in the league all year long would slow the hell down and sure, he didn't throw six touchdowns again after I dealt him but, Patrick Mahomes is my choice for NFL MVP.
In other. more fun WRBL championship week matches, Darrin didn't blow any leads this year over Cole. Big deficits are easier to hold onto when your team drops a 186 over championship weekend the way The ChowHounds did behind Aaron Rodgers' (42) and Antonio Brown's (44) best weekends of 2018. Both performances were enough to land each on All-Bro Teams, which was surprisingly not on pace to happen until week 16. Congratulations on being second-best loser, Cole. As it turns out, the weakest link among the winners' bracket was our very own Tax Paying Homeowner, Alec Swanson. Even with Ryan TanneKILLing any chance of his return to Miami under center in 2019 while putting up a single digit (9 points) for Dolphin fan Nick Zurawski, The Tax Evadinng Vagrant snuck in a 126-113 win to finish in third again. With the lower total in points this week, Nick ended up tying Scott in the WRBL Hypothetical Standings but, managed to score more points over the entirety of the season than our champion somehow so, congratulations to Nick Zurawski on the Hypothetical Championship! (PS: Nick and Scott should really play week 17 for the REAL championship. Just an idea). Lastly (Literally), Sneen and I put on a show and the week's best battle as it came down to Harrison Butker (the same kicker that won Scott third place over Nick last season) and Russell Wilson (who I snagged off waivers from Scott after our first trade) needing 37 points on Sunday Night Football and dropping 40 because I might have bad seasons every now and then but, I'll never be a MoonBak. Props to Sneen on going 1-14-1 in the Hypothetical Standings. I sure hope all those weeks where you left an inactive player in your lineup was worth the momentary relief you felt before I snatched victory from your pitiful Patriots (Brady & Gronk combining for 5 points? Ouch). Back-to-Back MoonBak Bowl win-loser Tyler Sneen will rebound next year and he'll at least finish in 7th, that is my bold prediction going forward.
In the NFL, watch Sunday Night Football to see the AFC South's second playoff team decided between the Colts and Titans. Anytime a playoff spot is on the line and Blaine Gabbert is potentially involved, that is must-watch television. Speaking of AFC South football, I have a co-worker who's a Jaguars fan and I can only imagine how many tears will be shed during Blake Bortles' likely final start for Jacksonville in Houston against the
slumping Texans. Bortlemania is back, baby and the Texans might just get knocked out of the third seed as a result. In other sports news, Bowl Season is rolling along strong with the playoff matches taking place on Saturday between Clemson-Notre Dame and Alabama-Oklahoma, Bryce Harper and Manny Machado are still available and the Bucks(!!!) have the best record in the NBA. We are living in unique times these days. I just hope the league can gather 'round next year, make some slight adjustments to our rules (Should the playoffs even be a thing?) and reignite the fiery desire to win that Ryan so clearly did not have this week in the most disgraceful championship showing we have seen as a league. I'm sure Ryan was just channeling his Tony Romo, vacationing before a big game.
He deserves a redemption after being fucked over by the Rams and we deserve a chance to deny him that redemption for not thinking ahead of the game the way every other owner would have.
Until next time...

| Jose Juarez/APCook's 41 points during Scott's playoff run were the Viking RB's most over a two-week stretch in 2018. |
