"Merry" Christmas
Matthew Stafford led the Merry Men to their 2nd Super Bowl title
Steve's garage better make room for another banner.
It took just one year for Steve's prophecy to come true, as Matthew Stafford finished off his breakout season by
leading the Merry Men to their 2nd Super Bowl title. The Merry Men have relied on Stafford and Ray Rice all season long,
and they didn't disappoint when to mattered most, combining to score 32 points enroute to a 67-51 victory. However,
it was the supporting cast of Pierre Thomas, Jeremy Maclin and Brandon Pettigrew that really made the difference,
as they all chipped in with a touchdown apiece.
On the losing end were the Mallards, who took another step toward their goal of a championship but came up just
short. With questions surrounding their running game going forward, C.J. Spiller was a revelation during the playoffs,
scoring 28 points in their two games. They'll be in the mix again next season.
Congratulations to the Merry Men, your Super Bowl XIX champions!
Rodgers

Most Valuable Player
Aaron Rodgers - Dragons (28 of 30 possible points)
Rodgers won his second straight MVP award thanks to a season for the ages. His 269 points were the third most all-time and
led the Dragons to the NFC Wild Card. With just 4 full seasons under his belt, he's already the 24th highest scoring player
in league history.

Green
|
Rookie of the Year
A.J. Green - Boys (30 of 30 possible points)
There was a definite "Big 3" heading into the 2011 Draft and of those, A.J. Green was the third selected. Chris Davidson and
the Boys had the last laugh as Green scored 66 points (good for 6th at his position) and unanimously took home the Rookie
of the Year award.

Cruz
|
Macor Misa
Victor Cruz - Chickens (19 of 30 possible points)
In one of the most closely contested Macor Misa balloting ever, undrafted Victor Cruz came out on top. Cruz was releasaed by
the Thugs before the season after posting 0 points in his rookie campaign, and then languished on the waiver wire before
the Chickens took a chance on him in Week 5. 56 points later and the rest is history.

Dugas
|
Owner of the Year
Steve Dugas (29 of 30 possible points)
Steve did just about everything an owner can do in 2011. He won two divisions, earned the first round bye with both teams,
won both conference championships and will be crowned Super Bowl champion. Add an Owner of the Year award on top of that and
it was literally a banner year.
