NIGHTHAWKS SLITHER PAST THE TAIPANS
...and the Cats/Monkeys blow it up.

Week Sixteen in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. The Torpedo Bowl. The accumulation of all the games that we've played come down to this one game. Of all the leagues that the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) cover, it is this league which is not only the hardest to win, but the hardest to get yourself into the Torpedo Bowl. The caliber of the Coaches, the exquisite drafting and of course, the inevitable Lady Luck which constantly shows up to make it harder to be the most deserving.

But we are here, and right now, we need to thank our primary sponsor, who makes all of this possible. Gracious, Neal!

We'll tell you all about that just as soon as we delivery this more important message.

DONATE TO SUBSIM...AND NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

Three games this week and while you wouldn't think that the Consolation Series wasn't worth a view, have we got news for you. For the past few years we have touted the Drunk Monkeys as the best damm ghost team in the league. This year, the challenge was thrown out to them by the Black Cats. the Monkeys were outstanding on Thursday with Alvin Kamara (RB) scoring six touchdowns (OMG) for a total of 62.2 points. You would think that would be enough to win - and it would in any other league, but this year, the Black Cats unrest the title with Devante Adams (WR) with 49.2 points. While both teams both started a player sort, the Black Cats just purred their machinery to get into a rhythm and GRIND wear down the Monkeys. In the highest scoring game of the weekend, the Black cats pip the Drunk Monkeys 162 - 160. Outstanding.

In the bronze medal game, the Guns of Hochuli were hosting the Who Dat Nation Rises. The Gunners went into the post season as the #2 seed, but lost to their divisional rival, setting up their match with the Nation. The Nation have done it tough this year, losing some games they really should have won, which left them in the situation they were facing this weekend. Salvaging their season, the Nation star Ben Roethllisberger (QB) steered the Nation to a well deserved victory against the Gunners. The Gunners were not able to keep pace with the nation, as they stumbled to one of their worst performances of the year. Finishing strong with a win, the Who Dat Nation Rises defeat the Guns of Hochuli 120 - 109.

And the finale...

The #1 seed the Helmand Nighthawks Deployed to Saint Louise were hosting the Australian Taipans of Southern California. The two international teams were back at it once again, this time, for league glory. The Taipans have been the hottest team of the yearn outscoring everybody and setting three league high scoring records. But they have been vulnerable, suffering losses they had no right to loose. On the other side, the Nighthawks are the powerhouse team int he league, but this year, they had to do it the tough way, They didn't own the league, they didn't dominate everyone, they had some losses. So when the Taipans and the Nighthawks were headed once again to match up int he post season, there were two different approaches to the Torpedo Bowl. The Taipans, - their plan was to score points and plenty of them. The Nighthawks, they knew if they could keep the game close, stay within arms reach, they could topple the Taipans who have not won a lot of games in the clutch. And the Nighthawks kept it very close, The Nighthawks came out on Friday and established a lead and set the Taipans a target - which they chased down, and swapped the lead. But the Nighthawks didn't let the Taipans get away. While the Taipans stretched the lead, the Nighthawks didn't let the Tipans run up the scoreboard like they have throughout the year. On Monday night with a twenty point lead, no one was prepared to give the Taipans the Torpedo Bowl, they looked like they hadn't scored enough points. And onto the field strode Stefan Diggs (WR) for the Nightahwks, and just swamped the Taipans. The Helmand Nighthawks add another Torpedo Bowl trophy to the cabinet, defeating the Australian Taipans, ???? - 141.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

He was the last man standing on Monday night. The sole player left over and needing a big score to chase down, and to convincingly win the game, and win the Torpedo Bowl. For the effort 9 receptions for 145 yards and 3 touchdowns, for a total of 47.5 points, the Week Sixteen MVT goes to Stefan Diggs (WR) of the Helmand Nighthawks.

We'll be back tomorrow, to announce our all star team.

Congratulations to the Helmand Nighthawks.
