Fantasy Recap: Throwbacks beat Phanatics

Kerry Collins and the Steelers defense helped the Throwbacks
jump out to an early lead on Thursday night

The Macho Row Throwbacks picked up a win in the 2009 Season Opener in the Philly Phantasy Phootball League, beating the Philly Phanatics 88.5-80.5 in a showdown of Phillies Bloggers Division rivals.

The Throwbacks were able to overcome a dominating performance by Phanatics quarterback Dre Breese, who accounted for half of the Phanatics point total. The throwbacks were lead by the quarterback tandem of Donovan McNabb and Kerry Collins (combined for 33 points) and a stingy Steelers defense that racked up 11 points. The Phanatics were hurt by a Chiefs defense that managed only four points in the game.

Next week the Throwbacks take on Maclin's Marauders, representing Inside the Iggles from the Eagles Bloggers division in a cross division match-up.

I will have an update on my football pool results later today.
