The London Bakers franchise has waited 22 seasons to reach an NFFA title game, and it’s fitting their biggest rivals, the Cambridge Animals, stand in the way of their first championship.
Bakers owner Sir QCurl Sharif and Animals owner Dave the Animal have known one another since childhood when they both were residents of an orphanage in New Delhi. As young proteges of Dr. Jorge Linardo, they were among the founders of the NFFA in 2002.
DTA and the Animals are going for their third title. Sharif has characterized the game as an epic battle the Bakers must win.
“Democracy depends upon it,” Sharif told the AWP via text. “The nation’s soul is at stake. Good vs. evil. Marijuana vs. meth. Heroin vs. fentanyl. Guinness vs. Natty Light.”
Both the Bakers made it to the championship contest as wild-card teams. In the opening round of the playoffs, the Bakers knocked off the Jorge division winning West Nashville Beelzebubbas, while the Animals defeated the Linardo champion Midtown Browns.
The AWP tried unsuccessfully to reach DTA for comment prior to publication.
