2010 Season - Week 20

Football is a game of inches. Ask Aaron and the Jets. If LaDainian Tomlinson had gained another 6 inches on his 4th down run with less than 8 minutes left in the Jets 19-24 loss in Pittsburgh Aaron would be in his first BUMSBowl. Instead his father is still the daddy as Chief won 20-15 and will play in his 5th BUMSBowl in 11 years (dynasty?). He is 3-1 having won BUMSBowl V in 2000, VIII in 2003 and XIII two years ago. His only loss came in 2002 when defeated by his other son Marcus. Chief will play his key nemesis after Johnnie held on to defeat David S in the other Conference game. Johnnie is looking to do the double double (dynasty?) by retaining the BUMSBowl after winning back to back Papas Fritas Championships. The runner-up in the last two league titles – Chief. What makes you think this game is going to be personal. Despite being the top two All-Time Leading Points Scorers they have only ever met twice before, Chief winning both (1998 Divisional round and 2008 Championship round). In postseason play Chief is 30-11, Johnnie 20-13. So let battle commence, Johnnie & Chief need to get their teams in by 6pm Sunday February 7th. First come first served etc etc All-BUMS Voting Don’t forget to vote for your favourite players of 2010.
