I. All Hail Will 51_98, the New England Patriots of OkayBlowhards

Blowhard Bowl III: Team Onslaught (Will) 124, Guiled Drive (BShelly) 67: The third annual Blowhard Bowl was a matchup of two teams that didn�t belong in the same matchup. On one hand, you had Guiled Drive, who had been coasting on reputation since about Week 10, went into the Blowhard Bowl with no Harrison, no Jordan, and a broken ribbed LT, and lost Steve Smith to general idiocy halfway through the game. Predictably, a bed was shat.

But that takes nothing away from our once and current champion, who overcame mounds of adversity this year, probably had the best team by season�s end, is set up with Ricky Williams as a keeper next year, and generally established himself as the Gold Standard of OkayBlowhards. Will�s prowess was on full display as he dropped the highest point total of the week in the season�s biggest game. Josh McCown and Anquan Bouldin proved we were all stupid for doubting the power of the Cards� passing attack. Jerome from Southeast proved that I�m stupid in more ways than one. And the aforementioned Ricky Williams did his thing. It all adds up to Will�s second title in three years and the undeniable respect that the rest of us must now pay.

II. Lesser Matchups

The UT Citrus Bowl: the kardiac kids (Cyren Young) 78, the Cereffusions 73: The fall from grace of the former champion completed itself, as Cyren claimed third place behind Dillon and Brady.

The Gator Bowl: Team Redemption (Ernest Lee) 119, Team Ron Mexico (KC Player) 96: Unlike teams 2-4, the participants in the fifth place game showed up. Ernie concluded his Redemption 05 Campaign with winning efforts from Shaun Alexander, Torry Holt, and �CISM victim David Garrard.

Gallery.Com Bowl: Fish Cat Team (Zeno) 105, Onterrio Whizzenators (Liquid Dope) 61: Zeno clearly wanted seventh more than Team Trevor. Carson and some Hicks guy were enough.

Ass bracket: they all suck.
