Simply, Never Scared dominated our former champs in unprecedented fashion, scoring 30 runs over 8 innings, twice Burninating the John Cougar Mellencamps to claim The Chuck D. Cup!</p> Never Scared s first season was 2007, as they rolled in loud and deep with their heavy boombox, playing their titular theme song ad naseum, dancing around the field, placing their stickers all around town. They could be a lot of fun, yet they could a little much  they were just the most serious about recreating.</p> However, that year, and every September until now, the John Cougar Mellancamps eliminated Never Scared from the postseason, regardless of which playoff format was in style. This one-sided rivalry came to a boil 2 years ago in the Championship Match, when the JCMs won their first title after years of their own finals' frustrations. Never Scared took the JCMs into extra innings during game 2, but alas, no bingo. Last year, due to a World Cup format, the JCMs found a unique way to kill Never Scared s season: a walk-off tie. I remember the purple team just literally rolling down onto the field in disbelief.</p> But there was always hope for them, after all, they have some sick athletes on the team. Karl, 2008's MVP (Brooklyn Kickball ditched its awards' ceremonies after that year), is built like a tank, and probably is the best 3rd baseman in the nation. Paul, their 2nd baseman, is a superb basketball player, and had been kicking moon shots all year. Captain Dan Clark, Socratis, and Connar are all skinny and quick, yet all have big legs. Rob is most clutch, and their new female recruits play soccer. Their biggest problem this year, ironically, was assembling a full team  even in the early stages of the playoffs they arrived short-handed. But after a kind warning from yours truly, Never Scared showed up proper and ready to rock.</p> They were in a tough post-season division this September, featuring last year s finalist, the Ponyboys, and a perennial top contender in the New Frontiersmen. But this year s champs would not be deterred by anyone, and in their rainy Pennant Match against the theretofore undefeated Ponyboys, Never Scared had a 6 run rally in the 3rd (thanks mainly to a few mental slips by the Boys), and eliminated a squad showcasing previous champions and MVPs, including Priest and Sportz. Entering the Finals, their playoff run differential was around 50 in just 7 games. They were set to face their old master, the JCMs, the 2-time consecutive Champions, also untouched during the playoffs.</p> The JCMs are simply the best team in the league and should be able to walk away with another championship rather easily,  said Mellencamp rookie Michael The Office  Scott on Saturday Night, the Eve of the Finals. Now, during this past regular season, and many more before, and maybe many in the future, the JCMs were the best team. They have appeared in 5 Finals since their inaugural year in 2006, twice becoming Champion. But there was no reason to be cocky against Never Scared, especially after their big bout two years ago. I ve said it before, and I ll say it again, Hubris will smack you like Anubis. But excessive pride could only explain maybe half of the 8 runs Never Scared earned in the first inning of the 1st game. The remaining tallies added up to no less than an ol' timey whooping. What should have been Ali vs. Frazier became Tyson vs. Glass Joe. No champion has ever performed so well in the Finals as Never Scared, and future champs can only hope to match it, because Sunday s exhibition cannot be bested. I am so happy Never Scared finally feels their euphoric catharsis  Congratulations to them!</p> -Kevin Dailey <br> <br> <p align="center"> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="192" height="288" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=https%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fbrooklynkickball%2Falbumid%2F5654098175605500593%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed> </td> <tr bgcolor="#f0e9d7"> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html>
