Championship weekend

The most exciting time of the year, this coming weekend: huge rivalry games in the NFL to determine the Play-offs AND the VP3 Championship Game. What could be better? Maybe if Championship weekend also included, for some reason, a load of brightly coloured presents raining down from the sky. But that just sounds fanciful for no reason. Let's take what we can get.

Ingoldstadt Illuminators v Bradylessbrothers

The Lighties go into the Championship Game on a 5-game streak having dispatched Doof, the General, Agent P, Zim and Farns. Most of those games were close, two of them within a couple of points. And all had variable scores, from 66 through 122 this week. The semi-final win was punctuated by Drew Brees having a game with 29 points and Freeman putting up 32 on the ground.

Bradylessbrothers progresses to the Championship Game for the second year in a row. All it took was defeating the two-time-Champion Breesus twice in two weeks, 85-81 and 75-70. BB had a 1-2 record for the prior three games, with a win over Agent P and losses to the General and  Endless. BB scraped through both games against Breesus with no stand-out players but lady-Luck was clearly on his side; Breesus players were even less inclined to win.

Interestingly, Aaron Rodgers, QB for BB, is the highest-scoring QB this year with 308 points. Drew Brees is third with 296.

NFL games start on Friday this week with a load of games on Sunday, a couple on Monday and the final game Tuesday lunch time. If the teams remain as-is we'll have a winner late Monday afternoon.

Playing for bragging rights: Doof v Breesus. Can Doof finally win against Breesus?

To all the VP3 Coaches, Happy Championship Weekend!
