After a very quiet season, Leafy has reached the pinnacle of the GFL. Unlike the noise made by some other teams (the Raging Pecka's mantra, "the Stein will be mine" comes to mind) Leafy methodically put together a solid season and even traded away his number one draft pick. The final score in Giouxch Bowl III was Screaming Clams-53, Raging Pecka-37. In the Lechmere/Wiz Consolation Bowl, the Long Hogs, after three trips to the playoffs, finally made some money in the GFL with a 53-42 victory over the overachieving Slain Valets.
