That said, crazy things happen in fantasy football. Tomorrow could be some insane shootout where Brock throws for 5 TDs and all of the Detroit TDs go to your 3 players...
I’ll hold out (some) hope!

Alright. So it looks like the Brockstars know what they need. A combined 114.67 points from Brock Purdy, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta.
Is that impossible? It might seem so, but last week in the 226 point explosion, those 4 players combined for about 105 points. So I'd call this one unlikely, but not impossible... The O/U on this game is 50.5 points, so Vegas is expecting some scoring.

Halftime... 5 TD's have been scored. Two passing and one rushing for Purdy. Two receiving for Williams. More than half of the Brockstars' deficit has been erased...
Getting interesting!

Purdy throws in the towel when I only need 1 point out of him? The fix is in!
What a week!
What a week!
Time to get a beer, I am mentally spent!
That was one helluva game Donnie!
I really thought that you were going to take it!
Just...
Wow. Just wow.
Nice down to the wire superbowl!

Time for a beer indeed. That was crazy. You put together a great team.
Thanks. You were one great opponent with a stacked team. It was one of (if not the closest) superbowls that I have ever seen

How in the world do I offer a write-up worthy of such a thrilling championship? Oh well, it's the plight of a writer to attempt to rise to the occasion, I guess...
I mentioned the cruel, cruel bitch that is fantasy football. Well, she made an appearance. The Brockstars were cooked. I mean, down 114.66 points going into Monday Night Football? That's a nearly impossible thing to make up.
A lot of football games don't feature 7 touchdowns total. And yet, all of the first 7 touchdowns in the game went through their players. 3 passing TDs and one rushing for Brock Purdy, two receiving touchdowns for Jameson Williams, and a receiving TD for Sam LaPorta. And then in the fourth quarter, Jahmyr Gibbs added a 30-yard rushing TD to put the Lions up 12 and give the ball back to the 49ers with just under 3 minutes left in the game, and with the Brockstars now down only 4.16 points.
With the clock and the score, that meant field goals and no punts weren't going to get it done. And it also meant throwing the ball. Which means it all came down to Brock Purdy. The only things likely to stop the 49ers would be a turnover (and Purdy had already thrown two picks) or a turnover on downs. But absent those two things, 4.16 points, especially in a 0.5 point per completion scoring system, seemed doable. 4.16 points would be almost a shoo-in even if the 49ers scored and didn't get the onside kick.
Purdy nearly did it. The Brockstars were within a point and driving. And then Purdy got sacked. And not only did he get sacked, but the SECOND player to hit him, when he was already down, hit him somewhere in the hand or wrist and he left the field. Joshua Dobbs came in and you could see Purdy on the sidelines trying to test his throwing motion, and then you just saw him shake his head "no", and it was over.
The cruel, cruel bitch had stepped in. At that point no matter what Dobbs did, you knew the Lions would just kneel down if they got the ball back, so there would be no opportunity for the Brockstars to increase their total. And thus what would have probably been the most epic comeback I've ever seen in a fantasy football championship became almost the most epic comeback I've ever seen.
But wait... The story doesn't just involve Monday Night Football. I would remiss not to talk about our new champion, the Bar Flies. You can't have an epic comeback if you don't find yourself in a hole, and with 179.16 points put up before Monday Night Football even started, the Bar Flies dug a giant pit for the Brockstars.
Led by Bo Nix with 34.86 points--and who in the preseason thought "Bo Nix leading a team to the fantasy championship" was going to be a thing?--and with >20 from Derrick Henry, Mike Evans, and Brian Thomas Jr, the Bar Flies put up a big number for the Brockstars to chase. Even the kicker and DST were in double digits.
And the Bar Flies getting here was no fluke. I think they've been the wire-to-wire leader in the league all season after starting the year 4-1. I think at worst they've been tied for first a few times, but never worse than that. And of course they were the first team I mentioned in "teams I don't want to face week to week" because their roster was stacked from day 1. They certainly earned the #1 seed, the first round playoff bye, and were a truly worthy champion.
So after 17 weeks, we have our champion. Congrats to @Chorgey and the Bar Flies! You have earned every bit of beer that you will receive!

In the third place game, Birds of War ( @troglodytes ) has defeated the Milwaukee Muggers ( @TallDan ), earning the right to decide who you want to ship to.
@Chorgey is listed in the profile as South Jersey, and I know @gromitdj lives out here in Orange County CA.
Let us know your preference, Birds!

Congrats! That was fast next day shipping. Maybe I should have just delivered it. Enjoy.
Thank you @pshankstar for the cleverly packaged shipment. It's going to be difficult deciding which beer to try first.
I say go with the Copper Leaf crowler.
Cheers bud!
Thank you @VirginiaHops1 for the nice assortment of IPAs. Looking forward to them!
The one can reminds me of the Klaatu song, "Juicy Luicy"

@betarhoalphadelta hinted that there was a certain something in the box that he shipped out and he nailed it! You'll have to let us know how you obtained it. Thank you, much appreciated!
