3) In week three of season 20 one of the most stunning upsets in DSFL history took place. After two solid wins, including a 30-point trouncing of Portland, the Minnesota Grey Ducks were at home ready to face a winless Kansas City Coyotes. Experts from every network and publication agreed that this would be another double digit win for the Grey Duck who were already favorites for a repeat championship. As we see now though that was simply not the case. The Coyotes came hungry for blood looking to jump start their season, and they ran all over the Ducks defense and held Vega to 14/36, 0 TDs, and 3 picks. And on a personal note, they stopped me from coming down with a single catch and started a 3 week stretch where I was too shook to help my team win (thankfully the Ducks roster is full of studs and we had wins in the next two weeks including at Kansas City).
When the Ducks take on the Coyotes next season the same story will not play out again. The team sprung out of the tough loss at home and ripped off 4 straight wins and ended the season with a 12-2 record and the Ultimini. Once I got back on my feet I started taking in grabs every week and tied my teammate Jerome Davis for most snags in the playoffs with 8 each. These studs are going to rip through the field again in S21, and I for one have my sights set on Kansas City for some sweet barbequed revenge.
But maybe that was exactly why he did.
In his two playoff appearances Bumper lead his team in passes defensed and interceptions, and he only had one tackle because quarterbacks were terrified of throwing to his side of the field. The offenses had to rely almost exclusively on the ground game because there was a 50/50 shot that any pass to the left side of the field would end up coming the other way. The Ducks win was by all accounts a team effort that relied on all cogs of the machine working in harmony, but those in the know all saw that this mid-season snag played a huge part of a playoff run that the Ducks outscored their opponents by a combined 64-10.

Quote:263 words11) Let me tell you a story about Thubba Bumper. Dude played in only four games at defensive back for the Minnesota Grey Duck in season 20. He defensed two passes, had no interceptions, and about a dozen tackles. By all accounts he was a last spot to fill a roster that felt complete and ready to dominate. Bumper wasn’t a bum, he wouldn’t have made the roster at all if he were, but he wasn’t expected to dominate opposing wide receivers for four quarters a week.
