FINAL FOUR

2. RB/KR Forrest Gump vs 5. QB Shane Falco

RB/KR Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) - Forrest Gump

**Defeated 7th seed RB Spike Hammersmith in the Round of 32 *

**Defeated 3rd seed WR Rod Tidwell in the Round of 16 *

*Defeated top seed RB/KR Earl Megget in the Elite Eight Gump is an All-American at Alabama who ran kickoffs for touchdowns while going untouched - need we say more? Would also own the locker room ping pong tournaments.

QB Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves) - The Replacements

**Defeated 4th seed Joe Kane in the Round of 32 *

**Defeated top seed Willie Beamen in the Round of 16 *

*Defeated 3rd seed Paul Crewe in the Elite Eight

A Sean Payton-inspired arrival to the pros as he became a starting QB after the league went on strike, the Washington Sentinel signal-caller showed all the traits you want in your quarterback. Despite some pundits saying he folds in pressure situations, Falco's leadership was highlighted in the closing minutes as he launched a game-winning bomb to Brian Murphy to send his team to the playoffs to the tunes of David Bowie's "Heroes."

1. LB Bobby Boucher vs 2. K Nigel 'The Leg' Gruff

LB Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) - The Waterboy

**Defeated 8th seed S Trumaine in the Round of 32 *

**Defeated 4th seed LB Vontae Mack in the Round of 16 *

**Defeated 6th seed LB Luther "Shark" Lavay in the Elite Eight
*

One of the heavy favorites in this bracket as a Louisiana boy and a once-in-a-lifetime talent. A legendary tackler who covers the entire field. Not an injury risk as long as he has some high-quality H2O. Don't you dare talk about his momma!

K Nigel 'The Leg' Gruff (Rhys Ifans) – The Replacements

**Defeated 7th seed C Manumana in the Round of 32 *

**Defeated 3rd seed G Billy Bob in the Round of 16 *

*Defeated 5th seed G Ed Lawrence in Elite Eight

Insane leg strength that can boot a 65-yard game winner. However, his habit of smoking on the field and gambling on games are huge red flags.
