Super Bowl VII


The Squirtle Squad is no stranger to championships. Research has indicated that Brian won three in a row before the keeper era, not to mention another one five years ago. Their 2010 championship was a march toward destiny as they creamed the competition. The only real bump in their win this playoffs was in round one, when the Squirtles had a tight game versus another former champ, the 100 Acre Wood Pooh Bears. That game was decided by seven points, but Brian prevailed on the strength of Peyton Manning and Andre Johnson's combined forty six points.

After that nail biter, it was smooth sailing for the Squirtles as they upset top seed Dunder Mifflin Paper Company in the semi-finals (77-54) before facing off against Drew Brees and Brandon Lloyd in the Super Bowl. The Thundercats entered the 2010 playoffs with the lowest seed but took out every higher ranked opponent on their way to the championship game. Unfortunately, big game jitters saw their Chargers defense collapse -- negative two points -- and then Cinderella got a beat down by forty points.

With Manning leading the way, Squirtle Squad also had Adrian Peterson, Miles Austin, and a surprisingy Ryan Torain scoring big points in the finale. Andre Johnson sat on the bench due to injury but that just meant he was well rested for the after party. This championship is Brian's fifth, and if not for a Peterson fumble years ago, it could have been his sixth. Still, can we say "dynasty?"
