Robbed
The San Jose Sabercats were robbed. I know they finished 1 and 13. I know they finished with almost twice as many points against as points for. I know they lost more games than any two playoffs did combined. But hear me out. Did the Yeti, losers via 45 - 7 shellaccing deserve that spot? The Sabercats had decent showings against the Hawks all season, including a 30 - 24 thriller in week 12. There's no way the Sabercats would score less than 17 against the Hawks, yet here go the Yeti, putting up 7 in the first and then silence for three quarters. Pathetic. And a case could even be made to put the Sabercats in over the Otters. It would have been a more exciting game, for sure. The Sabercats put up a respectable 14 points against the Secondline in Week 13, with a breakout showing for rookie Jerrod Canton. 145 yards on thirty carries for an average just shy of five yards per carry? Tell me you wouldn't want to see that over the thirteen point disappointment the Otters called a playoff game. Canton tore up the Second Line in both showings this season. This kid is going to carry the Sabercats into the playoffs and beyond. I'm calling it now.

Unsung Hero
Perfect on extra points. Perfect on field goals (from any range). Nine for nine and three for three respectively, Turk Turkleton was far and away the unsung hero of the playoofs. Solely responsible for 18 of 81 points (that's over twenty two percent for you kids keeping track at home), Turk "The Mule Leg" Turkleton was banging them home left and right. He doesn't care which hash mark you put it at. Left hash, right hash, corn beef hash, fuck it, he's putting that thing closer to the center of those uprights than an olympic sharp shooter on a still day. I think he's got the leg to put one away from 70 yards, and you can quote me on that. Add to that that he's got punting duty too, bombing out a crazy seventy four yarder in the Ultimus game, pinning two deep inside the 20 yard line. This guy has superstar written all over him. When asked why he chose to play kicker when he's clearly such a stud on the field he responded with this gem: "When I was growing up, I had two songs I listened to to pump me up. The first one was Careless Whisper. The other was Adam Sandler's The Lonesome Kicker. I wanted to be just like Andre Kristacovitchlalinski, Jr. Inspires me to be great every day."
