FFL "Spoiler Sport"- Week 9 Wrap Up

After a long, grueling season full of surprises. We welcome you to the final regular season episode of "Spoiler Sport" on ESPN eight-The Ocho! I'm Cotton McKnight. Let's get to the action!

It took eight weeks, but both the incredible winning streak of "Pop Superstar" Hannah Montana and President Barack Obama's "Best of Both Worlds" Touring Battalion of Commandos and the abysmal losing streak of the Tijuana Taco Benders have both come to a conclusion. 

In what has been described as an epic confrontation, which saw the ninth and final death of such FFL All-Stars as the Martian Manhunter, Shaak Ti, and last but not least Dora the Explorer, George Washington's Slaves proved once again to be the weakness to the Commandos. Only veteran Slaves Yoda walked away from this magnificent battle. The Commandos ended the season with an outstanding 8-1 record and will have the #1 play off seed in the George Lucas Conference. In an incredible coincidence the team that kicked off the Commandos incredible win streak, Logical Genocide, will be their opponents. Will we see a repeat of the beginning of the season? Or will LG avenge their earlier loss and start a streak of their own?

While on the subject of the Lucas conference playoffs, the other match up will be another week one rematch with 2009 FFL champions the Horsemen of the Apokolips looking to topple George Washington's Slaves. Last time the Horsemen defeated the Slaves in the playoffs, they won a championship. Will history repeat itself?  Or will the Slaves topple yet another powerhouse team in their quest for their first ever championship?

Over in the Stan Lee conference,we've got the play-offs set but it's anybody's ball game. We'll see a week seven rematch between Beckerman's Backyardigan Beeyatches, a match which saw B3 get a huge victory in Las Vegas. Will the odds be in the Backyardigans' favor again, or will the Murderflies give the 2010 FFL champions an early exit in the quest for a second trophy.

In the other match up, it looks like the most controversial trade in FFL history paid off in spades for Griffin's High Maintenance Dope Fiends and Destroyers. While the trade didn't seem to go quite as planned for last year's champions Michael Vick's Bad Newz Kennelz of Lurve, the Dope Fiends not only were able to run the table and defeat every team in their division but score a first ever play off appearance for this iteration of the Dope Fiends. Their opponents aren't ones to be taken lightly however, as the last time Team Sleeping Pussy was battling on the Play Off Planet the destroyed the planet and secured themselves a victory thanks to the mechanations of Kang the Conqueror. Will we see another planet shattering contest? Or will Griffin keep the pussies from waking? Keep it locked here to the Ocho for all the playoff action!

As we head into round one of the playoffs. Don't forget that this Wednesday May 31st,  live on Groudy.com and The Majors.net we'll be broadcasting LIVE with our special panel of FFL experts as we look at the season that was, and speculate on what else we'll see this year. Broadcast starts at 8 pm, and promises to be just as wild as anything else we've seen this year. Again, that's May 31st at 8 on Groudy.com and TheMajors.net. We'll see ya there!

That's it for this season. As we head into the playoffs, this has been "Spoiler Sport!" I'm Cotton McKnight. Thank you and good night.

You will also be able to hear an exclusive interview with Commissioner Ryan Poteracki, about some of the things he may have in store for Season 6 on that same podcast. And if you can't tune in live we will make sure that is available for download as well.

Bless you Cotton! The EMTs were taking George to the hospital, but then he heard the Spoiler Sport theme song and whooped those sissies, but good! If it wasn't for the weekly carnage of the FFL, I don't know where our marriage would be!

good show last night. i "had a laugh" before the show, or else i woulda called. maybe next time when my vocabulary isnt limited to "dude", "cool", and "whatever." Given my season, im not shocked that a mysterious odor entered the room while discussing my team. thanks for the insight. and a team name change is in the works. i was trying to honor history, but since i burned that to the ground, im ready to start new.

Josh the Commish said...
