Super Bowl Preview

The first champion of the Blue Hellions' Fantasy Football Confederation will be crowned this weekend, as The Pessimists battle the One-Man Wolf Pack with the Confederation Cup on the line. This year's game will take place in sunny San Antonio. Both teams have conducted closed practices all week in preparation for Sunday's showdown.

Coach BJ Hudson brought his team into town immediately following last Sunday's semifinal victory. While some media experts believe he brought his team too soon, Coach Hudson is having none of it, simply stating that "I know my team better than any of you morons do. We'll be ready to play on Sunday. Book it."

On the opposite sideline, Coach Zach Maddux has appeared more laid back in his meetings with the media this week. The Wolf Pack arrived at the home of the Alamo on Wednesday afternoon and have stayed downtown in a hotel directly on the riverwalk. While Coach Maddux has been fairly reserved in his statements, the town of Columbia already has a victory parade scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday morning. Said Coach Maddux, "I'm here to win a football game. The parades are for the fans. That's our marketing department at work. I have nothing to do with that."

Both teams have enjoyed their time in the Lone Star State leading up to Sunday. On Wednesday night, both teams competed in a drink or drown competition at the Shiner brewery in Shiner, TX. While there was not a clear cut winner, countless members of each team spent the night passed out on picnic tables and puking throughout the night. On Thursday, the teams reenacted the battle of the Alamo using paint balls, with the Wolf Pack winning a hard fought war. On Friday night, The Pessimists pulled out a narrow victory as the two teams competed on the riverwalk to see who get get the most women to flash them.

Both teams plan to conduct a walk-thru practice today in preparation for the big event tomorrow.
