FLOF Bowl 12: Capo v. Malleus
This preview is a week late, but that also means that we have some early returns.
9 Malleus v. 0 Capo (don't believe the score on the scores page)
Malleus has a quick lead after some good results last weekend. Boldin put up 9 for the only offense last week and 3 players in, Malleus already has 20 defensive points.
Capo hasn't had anyone play yet so its not time to panic, but they are down a kicker and wide receiver due to missing the free agent deadline. Of course, Chris confided with me the other day that he was really just upping the post-game smack talk ante. Just imagine how insufferable he'll be if he spots Haydn two players and still wins.
Preview:
A FLOF Bowl win would cap a Cinderella season for Malleus. Haydn took over one of the worst franchises in the league. Lightning had won only 5 games over their last two seasons and had participated in 3 of the 4 Toilet Bowls over their last 4 seasons (going 0-2-1 in those games).
More then 1 year and 1 million trades later, Malleus still did not have a very good team. But they won a game in week 5 that became a 4-game win streak. After a two-week losing streak, they rebounded to win the last 4 games of the season including a season-ending show-down with Bill to win the Middle Division and capture the #2 seed in the playoffs.
Now they have a chance to win a FLOF Bowl in their second season.
Capo entered FLOF only a season earlier in a very different situation, stepping into the owner's chair of the most successful franchise in FLOF history. Capo immediately won their division and the FLOF Bowl.
Dogged by critisizm that he just rode Bishop's coat-tails to his first championship, Chris is back in the FLOF Bowl with a team that looks nothing like the old Deadheads and with a chance to win the flaming football in his own right.
Capo was also a late bloomer this season -- starting 3-3 before going 5-2-1 to close out the season and sneak in as the last wild card.
Capo is coming off of two shoot-out wins. First beating Mimes 34-24 before beating Flannel 44-33. Malleus had a bye in the first round and then scored (probably) the largest game in FLOF playoff history. Malleus' combined 152 points resulted in a final score of 88-0 over Drow.

You forgot to mention that Malleus does have a pretty damn good team now - my trades just took a while to come to fruition. You also didn't mention that I lost the Toilet Bowl last year.
