The Professional Football Federation 2007 Champions
As one season ends and another begins, it is so easy to forget the past and all the hard work that went those seasons. This page will remind everyone of the great season our current League Champion had and the players that made the biggest impact on that Championship Team. Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you....The 2007 and current P.F.F. League Champion....

Kansas Kings
From 0-3 to League Champion. The Kansas Kings are the ones that perfected that feat in the 2007 season. Owner/GM, James Clendenin, bought the Kings in the beginning of the 2006 season from past Champion David Smith. Many thought that James would not be able to continue on with the winning tradition that the Barracudas Franchise held so highly. With a name change to the Kansas Kings and two years back in the league, James did the unthinkable, won a Championship, the second for his franchise. The Kings snuck into the playoffs thanks to a very strong second half of the season and then it was paydirt. Starting in week 10, the Kings won seven in a row to win it all. James played in the League from 2001 to 2004. He then took a year off and when the Barracudas came up for sale, he knew that he had to jump back in. In his first stint, James made the Playoffs only once out of four seasons, but now he has turned it around and has won a League Championship. The Kansas Kings, your 2007 Professional Football Federtaion Champions.

QB- K. Warner- STL
Warner played a very important part to this great season for the Kings. Warner did not become the Kings starter until week 10. Kings's record before Warner, 3-6. Kings' s record during Warner, a perfect 7-0. Out of the previous 10 League Champions, this has never happened. In week 12, Warner helped cement the Kings in the Playoffs by throwing for 484 yards and 2 TD's for 36.2 pts. oh, and don't forget, James and Kurt will always have a little Rams in them.

QB- J. Cutler- DEN
So with all that success, where does Cutler play into it? With one more loss the Kings would have missed the Playoffs and none of this would have happened. Cutler may have only won 3 games for the Kings but pick one and it was a s big as any that Warner won. In week 7 Cutler threw for 248 yards, rushed for 41 yards and threw 3 TD's for 34.5 pts. That led to a big win over the Screamin' Eagles.
|
RB- F. Gore- SF
Gore was a huge part of the Kings Championship run. He never put up huge numbers, but they were good enough to get the much needed wins. Gore's biggest game came in a win against the the Ballerz where he had 214 total yards and 2 TD's for 33.4 pts.

RB- B. Jacobs- NYG
Jacobs played in 6 games for the Kings, 3 which were wins. Jacobs was never the player that would take over a game, but his consistency is a big part of why the Kings have a ring today.
|
WR- L. Fitzgerald- ARZ
The MVP of the Kansas Kings. You can not win Championships without players like this on your roster. Fitzgerald put up great numbers all season long. Just like most of the Kings, his best week was week 12 where he caught 9 balls for 156 yards and 2 TD's for 36.6 points. A great player makes a great foundation for any team wanting to win it all.

|
WR- G. Jennings- GB
Jennings may have not put up as big as numbers as Fitzgerald, but he still was just as important. Jennings came on in the second half of the season and boosted the Kings to a Playoff Team and eventually a Championship Team.
|
WR- J. Cotchery- NYJ
Cotchery was the number 3 WR but was a consistant through the season. Cotchery's claim to fame for the Kings came in the Paramount Bowl where led all Wr's by catching 8 balls for 152 yards and 1 TD for 29.2 points.

TE- O. Daniels- HOU
What a solid player. Daniels put up great numbers all season long and played every week other then his bye week.
|
K- N. Folk- DAL
Folk kicked his butt off for the Kings. He played in 13 games of the 16 that Kings had in 2007. his best came in week 13 where 3 FG's and 4 extra points for 13 points.

K- J. Wilkins- STL
Why is Wilkins so important even though he played in only 3 games for the Kings and all of them were losses? Wilkins has won a NFL Championship with the Rams but has held out for a PFF Championship. Now that he has both, Wilkins retired from the NFL. Not only that, but it was the Kings only Rams player, other then DF, and we all know that there is a lot of Rams in James.
|
DF/ST- St. Louis
St. Louis was used 10 times in 2007 by the Kings. Solid DF.
|
|
|
|
DF/ST- Carolina
Carolina was used only 6 times in the 2007 season, all regular season games. In the final week of the regular season, the Kings needed a big win to make the Postseason. Carolina scored the most points of any of the Kings DF's all year. They had a TD and multiple turnover recovery's. All of that for 20 pts. the Kings won that last game by only 3.1 pts. Huge day for the Carolina DF.
|
Champions
James Clendenin and his Kansas Kings will enjoy the entire year as PFF Champions. But come September, they will have the task that all other champions in PFF History have failed at, winning back to back Championships. Good luck to you Kings and Great Job!
