Congrats CB! Now we can tell you…


 
This season was a long, long time in the making. CBPFFL crowned its first champion in 1993, and now, twenty years later, the trophy that bears your name is finally yours. Today, Optimus Prime reigns supreme!
 
Congratulations, you built an excellent team. You grabbed Peyton in a record setting year, complemented him well, and threw in a healthy dose of “KC D baby.”
 
The entire season was one of pure destiny. I particularly liked the move of bringing your brother on board, in order to crush his puny team by over 600 points. What style!
 
You stood on the throats of the vanquished and cruised to victory by a margin of 133 points over Jason’s bid to repeat as champion. Well done, sir. Enjoy the jelly beans.
 
Now for the sad part…
 
It’s time that the rest of us let you in on a little secret. The trophy, the whole league, everything, was only created as a way for us to frustrate and humiliate you.
 
Years ago, huddled in the undercarriage of Landon, we got bored one day and concocted a fiendish plan: a way to force you into a Christian Okoye obsession, trick you into picking up Mel Grey, and beat you relentlessly, year after year.
 
You might call us mean jerks, but we just like beating you in Fantasy Football. And it was a nice, two decade party. So, thanks for that.
 
We all agreed to play until the day, far in the future, when you actually managed to finally win, and then immediately disband the league.
 
And so, this season marks the end of the CBPFFL, friend. The trophy shall be buried with you, and rest with you among choirs of angels for all eternity.
 
Take care,
The Commish
