2009 saw a close to yet another decade as the CFFL turned 25. It also saw three teams from the South make the playoffs (Bees, Dragons and Mayhem). What's up with that? None of them made it to the Fantasy Bowl. Oh alright then.
But the Fantasy Bowl would see two familiar faces back. The Krauts would return to the Fantasy Bowl for the second time in three years. Gone was Manning, but in his place was McNabb as well as Jamaal Charles "In Charge". They were Eastern Bloc Champs and would beat the Dragons 29-23 in Round 1 and the Bees 42-21 in the semis behind a 12 point performance from McNabb.
The Wrecking Crew were back in the Fantasy Bowl hoping to get the bad taste out of their mouth from their last trip when they lost to the Crush in Fantasy Bowl XXII. Back was Peyton Manning for the Crew throwing for 33 TDs. The Crew would edge the Mayhem 41-38 in a barn burner Round 1 game followed by beating bitter brother rival Chislers in the semis 31-26 to move on to Fantasy Bowl XXV.

Fantasy Bowl XXV would not have the dramatics that past Fantasy Bowls had, specially not any of the theatrics Chislers games had. This game would see points only come from RBs and Kickers. Crew got 12 points from Thomas Jones and 11 from kicker John Kasay, but that would be it. Krauts won easily 38-23 behind 24 points from Charles and Frank Gore"s knee" and 14 big point from their kicker Ryan Longwell. They would capture their second title and remain undefeated in Fantasy Bowls.
