Lavinius takes down Cooch in first-ever fantasy sports showdown

A historical phenomenon took place over the weekend. Something so big that it threatened to change life on this planet as we know it.

Lavinius and Cooch are both avid fantasy sports participants. They've always competed in separate leagues, but never against each other.

That was fixing to change when Lavinius extended an invite to the Cooch to join a fantasy football league. Of course, Cooch gladly accepted said invite.

The league is an ESPN league entitled "Head On" (from "apply directly to the forehead" fame). It's a league comprised of friends and former softball teammates of Lavinius with a few random screennames sprinkled in.

So now the table was set. Lavinius and Cooch were finally in a fantasy sports league together. Now it was just a question of "when do they play each other?"

They didn't have to wait long for their showdown. Week 2 was the date. The place? Right here.

The results?

There ya have it, folks, a victory for yours truly. Despite the loss of Brandon Jacobs, Lavinius still put it down on the Cooch man. I'm certain Cooch will reply to this crying for an asterisk, but it was Terrell Owens that was "filming Miami's defensive plays" during a TD celebration in the 4th quarter. :)

Ball-busting aside, it was a good battle. Smack talk was at a minimum and good sportsmanship at a maximum. Cooch actually sent Lavinius good luck wishes in the spirit of competition.

The rematch is slated for week 10.

Cooch has always been a gracious loser. :)

He is correct in one respect. He would have won by 0.1 if I left the QB spot empty.
