Ladies and Gentlemen! Please turn your attention to center stage, as the highlight of the season is about to begin! Through 15 grueling weeks, 12 teams have fought, struggled, and found a way to push even harder, but all of them ultimately failed - all but two. That's right - the AldenLeague Fantasy Bowl X is upon us, as the L.A. Ninjas take on Most Murderous in the final battle of them all! Let's take a look at the preview: #2 L.A. Ninjas (9-5) vs. #5 Most Murderous (9-6) Team Profile: L.A. Ninjas Mike Hartman takes his team to their first-ever Fantasy Bowl, in an effort to become the first pair of brothers to win the championship (brother Justin's Boys of Summer won the 2006 Fantasy Bowl). The Ninjas completed the regular season with not only the Westwood Division crown, but also the Most Points total. They've been led by QBs Tony Romo and Brett Favre, the 8th- and 9th- highest scoring players in AldenLeague, respectively, the highest of any players in the Fanta...

What happened last week: The reign is over! A new streak has begun! Two-time defending AldenLeague Champions CheektoWojo were upset by 6th-seeded The Skyns, who scored their first post-season win in 6 tries throughout AldenLeague history. In the other matchup, Most Murderous, after dropping their final 6 games of the regular season, rebounded to overcome the BountyHunters in their maiden trip to the AldenLeague Playoffs. That brings us down to the final four, which are dominated by the presence of 3 teams from the Crittenden Division. Let's let 'er rip on the message board while you're still alive! Matchup #1 - "Round Three" #1 Ice Cold Bruschis (9-4) vs. #5 Most Murderous (8-6) A bitter divisional rivalry got split during the regular season, as words were exchanged on numerous occasions. It's time to see who's got the cajones to back them up when it really counts. Team Profile: Ice Cold Bruschis 2008 was a learning experience for a franchise in their...

Matchup 1 #3 CheektoWojo (8-5) vs. #6 The Skyns (7-6) Team Profile: CheektoWojo The two-time defending AldenLeague Champions are Sandridge Division Champions for the second straight year, with a Central Division Championship in 2007 making it a divisional threepeat. After fighting off a 4-game losing streak in the first half of the regular season, CheektoWojo rebounded to take 6 of the next 7, and with the help of the BountyHunters dropping 3 of their last 4, the team got exactly what it needed to get back to the post-season in grand style. CheektoWojo is tied with Most Murderous as the most successful franchises in the playoffs, where the teams sport identical 8-4 records. Team Profile: The Skyns The regular season was an uphill struggle for the Skyns in 2009, but their ascent into the playoffs is one of the great stories of the season. A 3-5 start led to a 5-6 stance with two weeks left, and a demanding list of help for playoff berth. The cards all fell in the...
