great game. just had a chance to sit down now and watch. I was a little worried that we kept missing XP's!!!!!

very honored to even be here, and to win it is just icing on the cake. I didn't think we could pull it off, but very happy to have done that.

this is obviously years in the making. i've spent the last 3 or 4 years mortgaging the future for the chance to win this thing. At the end of the day, that's the goal. Every season we're up against the cap and tryiing to squeeze players cap hits just so i can sign filler players to field a team. Due to this i've actually signed a few no name guys that have really contributed to the success of my team.

WR Alexis Kolker - Former Portland Seal who we picked up and he averaged almost 13ypt!!!
DE Norman Menzies - picked him up as a RFA and in yr 4 had 11 sacks and 20 hurries
DT Vinny Canaves - picked him up as a RFA and in yr 4 had 8.5 sacks from DT
DT Brett Van Engelen - drafted in the 5th rnd by LAN, but dropped by EX week 1, started 16 games for us as a rookie
LB Brett Coles - picked up off scrap heap as FA when he was in yr 2, and by yr 4 is our starting MLB


then you throw in the late round draft picks where you're just hoping for something, and i grabbed a few contributors.

overall it's been a great experience. the lack of cap space and draft picks has forced me to try and make it all come together and made it fun. Fell flat on my face in the previous seasons, but it's worth it when you can pull through and cash in.

thanks everyone for the kind words. it means a lot! especially from the guys i've been playing in this league with for over 10+ years.

Interestingly enough, in this Imperial Bowl, no defensive player qualified for player of the week!! so no defensive player of the week was issued
