This sunday was the final Sunday for fantasy owners, and like many of our readers, I, Kenny Perez, myself was lucky enough to be involved in my respective fantasy football title game. Needless to say, it was such an inspiring victory that I decided to actually pen my first column on Fistpumps.com in nearly a decade.
I have played many years of fantasy, including many fantasy baseball championships, fantasy NBA (it was high school, give me a break!) titles, and respectable finishes in fantasy premier league, but never have I experienced the glory of taking home the fantasy football title. Many times I have been beleagured by first round draft choices of Shaun Alexander the year after he was awesome, Daunte Culpepper the year after Randy Moss left Minnesota, and Steven Jackson the year before he was good, and was terrible, mediocre at best in fantasy, but this year...well, let's just say...Chris Johnson at the number 8 overall pick (in a keeper league, mind you!) things were a bit different.
My team was much like the 2007 Giants...kind of mediocre all season and then snuck into the fantasy playoffs at 7-6...crushed my first round opponent, then continued to ride hot RB play with Johnson and 'Mal Charles, crushed my semi-finals opponent en route to my first ever title game appearance. I knew I had a great shot at winning the title tonight, and with a 20 point lead heading into the Dallas/Washington game, you could essentially put the champagne on ice, but the real question was, what was the appropriate fistpump for me to utilize if I hung on to win the title?
I decided to just let fistpumping come naturally. As the game ended, and I maintained a massYve 14 point lead/victory which fistpump would arise...
Would it be my all-time personal favorite fistpump, the "Allan Houston"...
Or possibly my favorite football fistpump...
No!
It was, ironically, enough, naturally the "Eli Throwing the Game Winning TD" fistpump (especially ironic considering the Giants' 41-9 trouncing today)...Congrats to all Fantasy Champions. I hope you all chose your winning fistpumps as wisely as I did!
