tuba, the No. 3 seed, beat No. 4 Cant Be That Hard 104-72 in last week's championship to claim the title.
Both had pitiful quarterback performances (CBTH's Stafford for 6.78 points, tuba's Tannehill for 3.28) but tuba got a huge boost from Pierre Garcon (20.4) and LeSean McCoy (28.2).
tuba finished the season 10-6. Can't Be that Hard finished 9-7.
tuba is the third different league champion we've had in the three years of the league.
A new league champion means a new Twitter avatar and a new entry to the Champions Bar on the right. That also means a new awkward photo. Here it is:

| That's a good look, Mark. |
In the ever-meaningless third place game, Jeff Fisher's Mullet showed up a week late and beat Muscular Mathletes 109-70. I think Peyton and Decker were pretty good, but I'll be honest with you: I have no idea. Courtney and I didn't even check the score until late Sunday night and, even then, didn't really pay much attention. We were too busy getting drenched and watching the Panthers make a ridiculous comeback in Bank of America Stadium. It was awesome. Much more rewarding than a fantasy win, though I'm sure I'm only saying that because I wasn't in the championship.
The Reservoir Dogs won the consolation bracket with a dominating 84-36 win over Correctamundo. This was more about what Correctamundo's players didn't do than what the Dogs did.
No Correctamundo player scored more than 10 points. Russell Wilson was the closest with 9.52. Reggie Bush scored 2.4, Brandon LaFell scored 1.3 and Vernon Davis got a big ol' 0 (he did play).
In the final matchup of the week, Academic Probation won the seventh-place game with 100-69 over Getting over the hump. If you thought the third-place game was meaning less, I can only imagine how much these two cared about the consolation bracket consolation game.
Now for the final weekly awards of the 2013 season.
The Mullets scored a league-high 109 points during championship week.
The Sad Trombone Award is going out in style, carried by Correctamundo and his 36.12 points. This is Correctamundo's second Sad Trombone in three weeks after scoring 36 in Week 14. It's still no Blaupunkt Sad Orchestra.
The final You Got Lucky Award goes to The Reservoir Dogs, which played Correctamundo and scored the league's lowest winning point total: 84.
Ain't-a-one of these kids old enough to be up all night gettin' lucky. And leopard-print shirt guy is winning at life.
The Tweets of the Week go to Jeremy, for sending out these two hilarious videos. Take time to watch them.

@RoyaleWCheeseFB Also, what would a Running Back and Kicker really have to talk about? http://t.co/mNRMH8HTQJ

There are games this weekend, but they don't matter to this league anymore. Enjoy them without worrying about fantasy points. Six of you have already been doing that for two weeks.Thanks to everyone for playing this year. It's been a great season and I'm glad you all were a part of it. Thanks for trash talking, for reading this blog and for caring enough about your team to set a lineup (most) every week. And thanks most of all for humoring me and my nerdy ideas, like this blog, the Twitter account and my videos. You guys make this fun for me and I appreciate that.
Courtney and I are planning to host a Super Bowl Party that will double as a Royale with Cheese post-season party. There will be laughs, dramatic reenactments and maybe some awards. Full details will come later, but the Super Bowl is Feb. 2.
Also, this is the point where if you have any proposals for next season, send them to me and we'll start putting them up for votes.
If I can get tuba to do some kind of Q&A, that will come in a follow-up post. Until then, I hope everyone had wonderful holidays and has a very happy new year.
Corey
Super Bowl Party!!!!
