Cereal Kilurz Dominate SuperBowl VI
After virtually coasting through the entire 2001 season, it was only fitting for the Cereal Kilurz to demolish the Red Zone Assassins in SuperBowl VI, 100-31.  That impressive win capped a record setting 14-2 season.  The Kilurz, who set another record by winning their ninth straight game this week, were only nine points short of having an undefeated season.  This week's 100 point game was only the third time in two years that the century mark was reached, and all three times were at the hands of the Kilurz.  The team's 129 point total in Week 9 remains the all time highest score in SFFL history, and earned GM Mark Petrillo $55 from this year's Optional Pool.  Petrillo won the pool last year as well, but has a Super Bowl ring (and another $333 cash) to go with it this year. 

"It feels great," Petrillo shouted in the Kilurz champagne soaked locker room during the team's victory celebration, lighting his cigar with a $1 bill.  "This season has been a dream - truly one for the books."  

Petrillo's girlfriend, Head Coach Heidi Klum agreed.  "It was an honor to coach these guys. I'm really going to miss this team next year."  The Kilurz are 18-4 since Klum took over the coaching duties from Petrillo midway through the 2000 season, but according to her, that's nothing special. 

"Oh, come on," Klum pleaded, "when you're dealing with talent like this, it's easy to win games. Now if you will excuse me," she added as she pulled Petrillo from the room, "I need to give my GM a special victory present in private." 

Tony Gonzalez (19) scored two TDs this week, and Donovan McNabb (18) had a great game as well, but once again, it was Marshall Faulk (31) who dominated the game's highlight reel.  In what very well may have been his final game wearing a Cereal Kilurz uniform, Faulk continued his season dominance, racking up 165 total yards and scoring four touchdowns.  Faulk's 31 SFFL points was tops among the Kilurz starters for the fifth straight week, and single handedly matched the Assassins' total score.  Faulk was honored with his fifth individual game ball of the season and was named the 2001 SFFL Super Bowl MVP.
