Farley Printing Company 17 - Bath & Kitchen 7
Farley Printing won its first championship in the only fitting way: with defense and special teams. FPC gave up only two TDs in the semis and finals combined and finished the season giving up less that 12 points per game - a franchise record. Add in a clutch 37 yard field goal by the kid with the pig hooves for feet and Bath & Kitchen was never really in it.
FPC opened the scoring by driving 70 yards. The Dutchman, using some retooled plays, hit Feaster over the middle for a 25 yard gain to bring FPC inside the 5 yard line. After a customary false start to move the line of scrimmage back, The Dutchman threw possibly the best pass in his short yet highly controversial career. Johnny beat his man outside and The Dutchman threw a seed to his outside shoulder. Johnny dragged his feet and made the TD grab, proving once and for all that if you want the Dutchman to throw a tight pass to you in the endzone, you better have gone to Concord with him, drive a silver BMW, have two kids and the intials JM. Otherwise you're out of luck. Go play for Gildea's.
Bath & Kitchen was stymied on offense. With MacElroy in his face the QB was forced to rely on handoffs and screens. After CComps batted down the 4th down attempt FPC took over. This time they would drive down to the 10 yard line, before CComps found Delli in the endzone for a TD that was much to easy. Mitts knuckled in a second extra point to open up a 14-0 lead.
Bath & Kitchen took over with time running out on the first half. While they were able to drive the length of the field, Geo knocked down their last second pass to preserve the lead at halftime.
Bath & Kitchen received the ball after halftime and went nowhere. Feaster came up with a big defensive play by deflecting a deep ball and FPC took over on downs. After moving down to first and goal from the 20. CComps and The Dutchman combined to create 2nd and goal from the 40. We'll skip the details on that one. With a 10 yard completions to Feaster and Meatballs. Mitts was called on for the 37 yard field goal attempt.
Snap, kick, good. It would have been good from 50. Ok maybe not 50, but definitely 45. Listen. it's my story and I'll write it any way I want. So then the topless cheerleaders came out to surround Mitts...but I digress. Back to the game.
Special Eddie would score for Bath and Kitchen to bring it to 17-7 but it was too little too late. With Martzian precision The Dutchman managed to run out the clock. Oh wait, no he didn't. FPC was forced to punt. Nevertheless, Bath and Kitchen couldn't punch it in.

As The Dutchman said after the game, "Dude, I'm going to tell you what. Dude, my point is this. To be honest with you - I mean God - I was throwing seeds. Ho Ho I do it for the ladies. The Champ is here!"
My point exactly.
