PFL PLAYOFFS - ROUND 2

 One round down, one more to go!  The Super Bowl is a week away, so let’s look at this week’s matchups.

ROUND 2 MATCHUPS

THE SWANSON MEAT TORNADO vs TEAM WASHBURN (Meat Tornado favored by 13)

Team Washburn is coming off an emotional victory after defeating the California Defenders 188-174.  The win can largely be attributed to the Seahawks D/ST 39 points.  After the game, Kimball commented:

”That was the single-greatest performance by any defense this season.”

This week Kimball is pitted against Commissioner Jeremy Pierson, and The Swanson Meat Tornado.  ESPN experts are projecting a Meat Tornado victory by 13 points.  When I talked with Kimball, he mentioned that he was a bit concerned because he has worse matchups this week, the Meat Tornado has good matchups, and he has several key WR’s injured.  But he still likes his chances, and remarked that ”the ball could bounce either way.”

Commissioner Jeremy Pierson, although usually unbiased, had this to say:

Now it’s time for the big boys.  It may be a close game against Team Washburn, but I fully expect to be defending my title next week.  Kimball just barely got his first playoff win ever last week, but that was against Jordan who has been away from fantasy sports for some time. This week the stakes are even higher, and with my veteran experience, I always find a way to win.

THE GRIZ vs A CINDERELLA STORY (Griz favored by 23 points)

The rivalry continues! These teams only met once in the regular season, but had a wager on a week they weren’t playing each other.  The Griz have the edge at 1-0, but A Cinderella Story has been one of the hottest teams to close out this fantasy year.  As you can imagine both teams had plenty to say.  First from #1 ranked Griz:

”I am really looking forward to representing the Pierson Family (R. Reagan) against our arch Nemesis, the Stokes Family (J. Carter).  I love the fact that I am playing Mitch, (former wrestler)...should be a pretty easy win as I have been able to get under his skin for years.  I remember only 2 short years ago at the 50th wedding anniversary, that I (a 48 year old diabetic man) dominated Mitch (in his prime) in  basketball....If I remember correctly, the only time the Stokes have beaten the Pierson's at anything "meaningful" was back in 2005 when Mitch's big brother Anthony somehow won the Super Bowl...Well Mitch, you don't have your big brother on Sunday.  I have to play Mitch this week because he is on my schedule, but I am really looking forward to another Super Bowl showdown with Jeremy....a repeat of last year.”

A Cinderella Story had this to say:

”This is the playoffs and I’m just going to get right to the point. I’m going to give you the same Christmas present I gave Jeff . . . an early break from our league so you can have more time to spend with your family. If you are Tom Brady, then I am Eli Manning. I may not have the best record in the league, but at the end of the day I will be the one with the Lombardi trophy in my case.  I thought I would only have to embarrass you once this season, but it looks like I have to do it again. Normally I would up the stakes with some type of wager, but eliminating The Griz will be satisfaction enough.”

FINAL THOUGHTS

- Not much else to say
