Commentary: That's right, a two-time champion!!!! In all honesty, this was the league I cared about this most this year because it is a league with several of my friends. I really thought I was going to lose this match-up. My friend Tony had the highest scoring team this season, and I really thought that he'd destroy me in this round, as you can see, it was quite the opposite. I almost could've sat my entire team and still pulled out a victory. This is a keeper league, so the fun is just starting. I need to decide which three to keep for next season's shot at a repeat!

And just for fun....
