Steve Luzzi Is The 2009 NFFC Classic Champion

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Tue Dec 29, 2009 2:33 am

Congratulations to Steve Luzzi who becomes our 2009 NFFC Classic champion. Steve rode the legs of Adrian Peterson to the championship as All Day scored twice last night in the overtime loss to the Bears.

Steve entered the playoffs as the 65th and final team in the postseason which makes his run to the title all the more impressive. In addition to Peterson's big game, Steve also got some Christmas night magic from Darren Sproles, who tallied 25.1 points in the Chargers' romp past Tennessee.

Congratulations again to Steve for becoming the 2009 NFFC Classic champion and the proud owner of our $100,000 grand prize.

Wow, what an amazing story Steve!!! He joined the NFFC last year for the first time on the recommendation from Jules McLean and he really enjoyed his time last year. This year he dove in with main event teams in both events and I remember him coming up to me after the Primetime draft and thanking me for having such a good time. He said he was going to be an NFFC member for a long, long time.

Now I don't doubt it!!

Amazing run in the Championship Round Steve and it shows what can happen if you just get into the big dance. That's what we like. Wow, what a fantastic finish and how amazingly close with the last game going into overtime.

Let me be the first to say: CONGRATS STEVE!!! You are a WORTHY CHAMPION!!

Steve Luzzi of Huntington Beach, California entered the Championship Round as the 65th seed among 65 teams, but he was the most consistent team in the playoffs and that's why he won the $100,000 grand prize. Steve's 800 GO DEEP team had the third highest score in Week 14 with 197.6. 800 GO DEEP then had the 13th highest score in Week 15 with 157.1 and it finished Week 16 with the sixth highest point total of 166.3. That gave him a winning total of 645.04 points, 3.20 points more than Troy Young's TOPPDOG.

Steve entered the Championship Round with a weekly scoring average of 124.04, 22.15 points behind the leader entering the Championship Round. That's a perfect example of how anything can happen once you get into the Championship Round!! Congrats Steve.
