Losing any player during the championship game is tough to overcome, let alone the starting quarterback. Fortunately, PRIMETIME summoned All-Star Bruce Thornton (a player that I inadvertently snubbed from the Top 50 list) to replace Scott. At QB Thornton was masterful, throwing for four touchdowns.

“Bruce is one of the best athletes around,” Scott said. “You can plug him in at any position and he’s going to be an All-Star at it.”

Even without Scott PRIMETIME was still going to be tough to beat due to their talented receiving corps. All-Star Kenny Ashmore (10 receptions, four TDs) and Tahir Jackson (five receptions, one TD) gave Thornton plenty of wide open targets to hit.

On the other side of the field the CREW looked like overwhelmed team for the entire game. All-Star QB Jeff Bollinger was awful completing just 14 of 25 throws for a 54.6 passer rating. PRIMETIME converted Bollinger’s two interceptions into 13 points.

In all fairness to this season’s runner up, WRECKING CREW had to play six games prior to advancing to the championship. Against PRIMETIME they were clearly gassed. The winners jumped out to a quick 14-0 advantage and never looked back.

Except for two meaningless TDs, there weren’t many highlights for WRECKING CREW.

Now that PRIMETIME has won their second championship, the team has joined REIGN, STEELTOWN, and VAPOR as the only teams in league history to win multiple titles. The pressure is now on for the champs to complete a three-peat. I’m sure that Cornell Mack and VAPOR will have something to say about that this fall.

CONGRATULATIONS PRIMETIME!
