Meet your 2009 fantasy football champs

In a stunning come-from-behind upset of the No. 1 seed in our league, the Columbia Hacks won the league championship thanks to an eight-point margin of victory in Week 17. The run through the playoffs represent a turnaround after a disappointing 1-3 finish to the regular season, capped off by consecutive losses.

Still, the regular season left the Hacks with the second-best record, thanks greatly in part to Maurice Jones-Drew, Philip Rivers and Wes Welker. It didn’t hurt to have the Saints and Ravens defenses to draw on, too. Of course, when it came down to the final weeks, there needed to be some changes made. We plugged in Pittsburgh tight end Heath Miller and wide receiver Mike Wallace, but slid in the Ravens’ D/ST and kept Patriots’ kicker Stephen Gostkowski. We received endless hell during the draft about selecting a kicker with the ninth pick, but he scored 12 points against the Texans. WHO’S LAUGHING NOW?! Miller and the Ravens also turned in stellar days while Welker was knocked out in the first quarter.

Now, we only need to go and pick up a trophy for this stellar achievement. Unfortunately, it will probably pale in comparison to The Shiva.
