Yeah, we could stay in reality and watch TV religiously every weekend to find out who's going to going to play in this year's Super Bowl, but why wait? I've done you guys the favor of showing you who would win the Super Bowl in nature, before Football even existed.
Perhaps, if mother nature has a hand in it, this could be a preview of this year's Super Bowl..
Nah.
Division One
Most of the first round was weeding out the teams that, well, couldn't compete in nature, such as Jets, Patriots, Redskins, and a Bill (still don't know what that is). The second round got tougher, as a flying animal and a swimming animal faced off, as well as a Giant and a Cowboy. The Giants advanced to the Final Four, because, well because they're Giants, and they can pretty much beat anything up.
Division Two
As in Division One, the first round of this Division was weeding out the teams that just couldn't compete. Packers, Steelers, and Browns were all defeated in a blowout, and the Vikings lost to the Bengals because a Tiger would rip that helmet off their heads and puncture their necks with one bite. A bird lost once again, this time to a Bengal Tiger, because never could a bird defeat a tiger. In the biggest match up of this division, the Lions defeated the Bears. It was a tough battle, but Lions are just awesome animals. In another tough match up, the Lions prevailed over the Bengal Tigers.
Division Three
Division three was one of the strongest divisions in this playoff. While the Buccaneers, Saints, and Texans didn't stand too much chance, the rest of the bracket was anyone's game. The Colts gave the Panthers a run for their money, but man, Panthers are tough animals. In the second round, a bird was defeated yet again, and the Titans defeated the Jaguars. In the Division Championship, the amazingly tough Titans beat out the Panthers in overtime, and advanced to the Final Four.
Note: In these playoffs, I considered Titans as warriors, not Gods. If they were Gods, that just wouldn't be fair.
Division Three
In what some would call the weakest division of these playoffs, there were few surprises. The Seahawks beat the Chargers, because I'm not totally sure what a Charger is. The Raiders beat the 49ers, because while the 49ers have pickaxes, the Raiders have those crazy fans. The Rams beat the Chiefs, and yet another bird team was eliminated by the Broncos. The Rams beat the Broncos with their horns of steel, and the Raiders and their insane fans eliminated the last bird team of the season. The Raiders beat the Rams in a nail biter to clinch the last spot in the Final Four.
The Final Four
In the first match up of unbeatens, the Lions were manhandled by the Giants, who effortlessly (and literally) stomped on them. The Raiders & Co. finally met their match when the Titans defeated them in two overtimes.
In the big game, Natures Super Bowl, The Giants struggled early, but eventually the Titans were so exhausted that the Giants just took over, and defeated the small armies of men with relative ease.
So I give you your 2006-2007 Nature's Super Bowl Winners:
The New York Giants
What will happen next season? Probably the same thing, unless some serious evolution happens.
Um, I have a couple of problems that I found right off. But After I found those I kind of ignored the rest of the blog. You have the Bills and the Dolphins (AFC teams) playing off in an NFC Division. You kind of lost my attention after that.
benjaman1 - It's easy to see that GoBlue organized his "divisions" by East, West, North, and South. The AFC and NFC East teams are in a division, the AFC and NFC West teams are in a division, etc. I thought this was really creative. Nice work!! However, I'd say that Titans would beat Giants.
Very good, jgrace. I did organize them by Division, because I figured that in nature they wouldn't have conferences, but I needed some organized way of placing them into divisions.
Thanks for clarifying to Benjaman.
onesouthernlion- Thanks for the comment, and especially for the hilarious definition of a Charger. Now that I know, they might have a fighting chance next season :)
Oh, and does everyone agree with my assessment of the 'bird teams'? It was tough for me to say that they could beat dolphins, or tigers or panthers.. Was I right?
I'm a fan of all Detroit teams. The Lions, Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons, and Wolverines are my major teams. I'm currently living in California, but am from Southeast Michigan. I love writing sports and hope to pursue it as a career, so let me know what you think.
Thanks for reading!
