Marksmen steals the BECCAneers 5th place playoffs spot in an unexpected turn of events which knocks Becc down to the B-team elimination round bracket, and I am left needing to explain a rethink of the playoffs tiebreaker math.

Legion of Doom, Glenda’s Glad, and Joke Ended BK9 also secure the final playoffs spots at 6th, 7th, and 8th place.

VFB 5 - Round 2 - DIRTY NAMES RISE

VFB 5 - Round 2 - DIRTY NAMES RISE

Roger and the Redskins prove once again that consistency wins as he travels to the VFB Championship to face-off against Glenda's Trash Pandas.  Glenda's first VFB Championship and possibly the first female VFB Champion after Roger beat Becca and the Human Trash last year. Both teams have trash in their name, VFB keeps throwing bags of trash at the Rog, and he quickly recycles them.

Down in the B-Team Championship, Pam's Peaceful People have risen to the top to face-off against powerhouse Alyssa and the Cracks who barely missed out on the playoffs back in week 14. It will be an uphill battle for mom as she and Patrick Mahomes try to get the Peeps' name on a coffee mug, but with a little yoga and concentration exercises next week, she'll be drinking coffee out of that sweet mug by the end of Jan.
