WEEK FIFTEEN REPORT
(Playoffs Round Two)
   
We will crown a new Super Bowl champion this year! Bullseye and The Savants took care of business in Round Two and will advance to the Week Sixteen final.
 
In one semifinal matchup, defending champion Dirty Sanchez continued their season-ending struggles, posting a mere 75 points for the second week in a row! That's pretty pathetic. The Savants easily coasted to victory, winning the game 107-75. This was the first playoff victory ever for The Savants and they are now guaranteed to add at least $150 to their 2000 FFL earnings. Before this year, the franchise had not earned a dime, and now they stand to take home $590 or $365 depending on their Super Bowl success.
 
In the other semifinal contest, Bullseye powered their way to a 126-92 victory over Akili's All-Stars. Bullseye was led by RB Edgerrin James' 3 touchdowns and QB Daunte Culpepper's 4 scores.
  
   
Bullseye will now add to their league-leading career earnings total, which will wind up being over the $1,000 mark. By losing, Akili's All-Stars exemplified the futility of the Lip Conference this year. In 27 games this year between Hair and Lip teams, the weaker conference managed to win just 5 games. That's an 18% mark!
 
Here is the updated playoff bracket:

Let's take a look at the Super Bowl matchup:
  
Bullseye (#4 seed) vs. The Savants (#2 seed)

After 15 weeks this year, it all boils down to one game. I doubt any owner in the league is surprised that these two teams are meeting in this year's finals, and one of these teams will notch their first league championship. But on the flip side of the coin, the loser of this game will continue to be one of the league's biggest failures.
 
If Bullseye loses, their postseason legend of failure will extend indefinitely. Who knows when they'll get back to the title game again? For a team that has led the league in scoring during the regular season 3 out of 4 years, they need this victory - and they know it.
  
The Savants have accomplished very little. Even this year, by winning the Hair Conference and getting a first round bye in the playoffs, they still have accomplished very little. What they have done is tied with all 4 other teams in their conference. They have won exactly one playoff game all-time. And if they don't win this week's game, they'll continue to be scoffed at. Especially in light of the players they have on their roster: Warner, Taylor, Brown, McCaffrey....
 
I am not certain who will win this game, but there is one thing I do know for sure... And that is the size and color of the asterisk ( * ) I will place next to the winner's championship stats.
   
Remember, boys and girls, winning a championship title is an excellent goal - but not at the expense of the game's integrity.
