NO MATTER WHO WINS, NFFA HISTORY WILL BE MADE

12th Avenue and East Nashville have gotten most of the attention for their historic seasons, but no matter who wins the 2008 NFFA title, history will be made.

Of course, the East Nashville Black Dogs have already set a record that can only be tied with their perfect, 14-0 regular season. If the Dogs win out, they will not only be the first champions in league history to finish undefeated, but they also will pick up their second ring in four years. Add that to their four straight Jorge division titles and you have to wonder if GM Buddy Ryan and coach Jim McMahon have built a dynasty.

Like the Black Dogs, the 12th Avenue Bakers have already made history of their own by posting the first winning regular-season record in franchise history and by making the playoffs for the first time. If the Bakers win out and claim their first championship, they will complete what has already been a storybook season.

West Nashville owner-coach Boyd X. Biggs recently noted that his Beelzebubbas franchise had made team history, as well. The 'Bubbas registered their second straight winning season and trip to the playoffs, franchise firsts. If the Beelzebubbas win out, they will claim their second NFFA title, joining the Atlanta Smack Daddies in that elite club.

Talk about being under the radar when it comes to history-making, the Smack Daddies won their division title for the first time in franchise history and can claim their third ring in six seasons if they win out. If the Daddies do that, dynasty is their new name.
