ONE UPSET AND ONE THRILLER
...and a Monday Night Rewrite

Week 15 in the Subsim Fantasy Football League, and the upset results continue to roll in. No one (except the Associated Subsim Writers) predicted that the top seed, could get bundled out of the Torpedo Bowl. No one expected one of the teams to lay down such a thrashing (except the Associated Subsim Writers) and no body expected that a second year team would be hosting next week's Torpedo Bowl (again, except the Associated Subsim Writers.)

Maybe you guys should have listened when asked to nominate for Subsims best, hey?

Let's go around the northern hemisphere as we put together two and a half games of football and set our stages for next week.

VOTE NOW FOR YOUR BEST OF SUBSIM...THEY HAVE EARNED YOUR VOTE.

Wembley: The Pageantry, the Gallantry, the history...the absolute smashing of the League's #1 seed in a wildly lopsided game. This year the League's #1 seed was the Helmand Nighthawks - they clearly had (almost) everyone's number as they went 12-2 through the regular season. They had the easiest path of the Torpedo Bowl, having the lowest amount of points being scored against them. And week 15 arrived, the first week of the playoffs and Coach FYC rode into town with the Black Cats, determined to put a stop to the carnage that the Nighthawks had created. And put a stop to it they did. Lead by Cam Newton (QB) The Black Cats put up their finest form, showing why the won the league last year and how they're not a team to be under estimated this year. Cam Newton put up a single player score almost too good to be true, and let the team follow suite and pick up the leftovers in garbage time. Mister Chris, on home field, in front of 200000 supports (they put extra seats in) was no match this week. The Nighthawks have owned the Black Cats all year within the division except for this one game. It's not like they didn't score points, QB Tom Brady added 21, their Defense (Chiefs) another 21, but once again, Shady McCoy (RB) failed to deliver in the clutch. Trailing by 20 points on Monday night, it was up to Calvin Johson (WR) to reduce the 20 point deficit, but it was not to be. Instead it was the other WR, Golden Tate who stole the show for the Black Cats, and left them with a revised itinerary for next weeks Torpedo Bowl. Nighthawks stumble on the turn for home, and lament the season that was theirs for the taking. Final Score, visitors Black Cats show their defending title form 169 - Nighthawks 128.

After the game Coach FYC was seen streaking a lap across the Wembley field shouting "How bout it b****, we're going to the ***** Torpedo Bowl."

On the Red Eye and across the nation we go. (You guys still need to relocate - I hear that Los Angeles is looking for anyone to come and play.)

Oregon: It was another divisional match up, this one stronger than the first game. The hosting Who Dat Nation Rises have been owned by the visiting Guns of Hochuli in two out of three games this year. But, the Nation took the dead rubber third game and the Gunners, who struggled mid season (starting with the Black Cats) were relegated to the #3 seed. Their opponent didn't change, only the venue and the Gunners shot into town and lay siege to the Nation. At 7-7 the Gunners put up a modest score and Coach Fuel was looking down the barrel of defeat with the Who Dat Nation Rises starting QB, Drew Brees struggled in the first half of Monday night. Trailing by 28 points, it was left to the arm of Brees, who, apparently, was still drinking at the bar at half time before he finally showed up. In the last quarter of the weekend, Brees finally put together some of the form that saw the Who Dat Nation rise to win the division and earn them a home field Torpedo Bowl game. Final score, Who Dat Nation Rises Again 147 - Guns of Hochuli 138

After the game Coach Fuel For Blood was seen streaking a lap across the Oregon field shouting "How bout it b****, we're going to the ***** Torpedo Bowl." As a side note, Coach Fuel is in better viewing form than Coach FYC.

While the fall out of these two games were being tallied, and the league was trying to work out what to do with the two streaking coaches, there were reports than two teams that looked very much like the Taipans and the Drunk Monkeys were playing a football game in the dirt parking lot. Unconfirmed reports indicate that the Taipans won 138 - 124.

So where does this leave the host venue for the Torpedo Bowl. Tickets are being rushed to the printers, scalpers are moving into lines, hot women are being flown out from Europe, cause this year, the Torpedo Bowl comes home to the Homeland as the Who Dat Nation Rises Again host the Black Cats. The Black Cats are looking for well deserved back - to back championships, while the Nation have shown their dominance in the clutch, and are looking to stop any talk of "dynasty". This is a match up the bookies in Vegas did not predict, but we will be there to capture the moment.

Elsewhere, back in Europe, the Nighthawks after being...embarrassed in the first week of the playoff, look forward to extracting their revenge on the visiting Guns of Hochuli. The Nighthawks for the second time in recent years have again been bundled out of the Championship game after being the oh-so dominant team. Nighthakws are looking to save face and hand the Gunners an ass whipping. (Side note: this was the ASW pick for the Torpedo Bowl.)

In the Consolation Series, after playing in the dirt this week, the Drunk Monkeys host the Australian Taipans in a nothing game, that no one cares about except the two coaches - and only one of them has shown up in the last month.

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. There was really no competition for this week award - provided you ignore Antonio Brown's effort in the parking lot.

For the effort of 340 passing yards, 5 touchdown, and rushing for another 100 yards, for a total of 62.10 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Cam Newton of the Black Cats the Week Fifteen MVT.
