From Eggers owner Miazga...

A end-of-season concession from longtime Eggers owner Miazga, who was the runner-up in Finger Bowl 18:

"Where as Janikowski did me in in our second regular season meeting (I put in Akers at the last second Thanksgiving day and Janikowski then kicks 6 FG against Bears on Sunday), Nicks did me in here. I am currently staring at a written out lineup card that had Nicks' name on it originally. If I play him over Wallace, I win by one. However, I am not a fan of starting two guys on a team if I don't have to (Gronkowski being a big exception). That would have given me four of six guys on two teams. Nicks had been inconsistent of late and with the emergence of Cruz, I didn't have the greatest feeling. I didn't have a great feeling about Wallace, but figured with Ben in the game early maybe he could snare a 6 and get out of there, plus Cleveland is no good. However, I should have checked the weather in Cleveleand (extremely windy) and paid more attention to the previous meeting between the two (very low scoring Thursday night game). I went back and forth for a good hour Sunday morning on Nicks-Wallace and Gerhart, Benson, Wells (all turned in zeros and one was inactive).

Anyway, great win and another great game between us. You had guys that were red-hot the last half of the season and Brees was instant gold most of the season. Half of your starters were off the waiver wire (Nelson, Lynch and Nugent), and all played key roles for you. Hard to combat two players with 20-plus point totals in one game.

Where as I was the only Finks owner to score more than 60 in a game during the season and lose (to Distillers), I am only the second Finks owner to score more than 50 in the title game and lose (there was a 67-60 result one year). 

Looks like we have the makings of a fantasy rivalry here. That being said, I'll probably go back to my normal ways and go 3-12 next year.

Looking forward to next season."
