Team of Destiny

When it comes to the playoffs, never count out the White Guys.

Just four weeks ago, it looked like everything was unraveling for the White Guys. After back-to-back division losses in Weeks 11 and 12, owner Anthony Aceto's team was facing a must-win game against the Big Boys for the division title in the final week of the season.

They emerged victorious in that game and never looked back.

The White Guys captured their third championship in the last four years (the first team too accomplish that feat) with a 44-35 victory over the heavily favored Buddies in Super Bowl XXVIII.

The championship puts an exclamation mark on an improbable playoff run that saw the White Guys snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in the opening round with a dramatic performance from Lamar Jackson and then the combination of Greg Ward, Jordan Reed and Kendrick Bourne score four times in the NFC Championship game.

Leading the way in Super Bowl XXVIII was once again Jackson, who shared co-MVP honors with kicker Jason Sanders. RB Kareem Hunt also added a touchdown in a continuation of a sterling playoff career that has seen him score 8 TDs in his 7 career playoff games for the White Guys.

The White Guys join the Dragons as the only teams with 4 championships and are now a perfect 4-0 in Super Bowls. For a team that has been continually discounted despite their performance, there can be no denying that the White Guys are among royalty in the YFFL.

Congratulations to the High 5'n White Guys, your Super Bowl XXVIII champions!
