Despite constant debate on sports radio, television, message boards and in sports bars and around water coolers nationwide, the NFL has announced today that the best football team of the season will not be determined until February 6, 2011, at the conclusion of a game dubbed the Super Bowl.

"I really hate to inform everyone that they're wasting their time, and it's truly with great regret that I virtually put an entire industry like sports radio out of business," said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. "But we already have a system in place that will decide the best team. So until the playoffs work themselves through and that game on February 6th is over, I would encourage everyone to talk about something else."

Goodell acknowledged he can by no means prevent anyone from continuing to debate the NFL's best team, but stressed that doing so "is incredibly pointless" and "in the end, will probably only make you look stupid when the actual best team is crowned."

President Barack Obama held a press conference in the West Wing today to announce the official end to his fantasy football operations in light of Frank Gore's season-ending injury.

"My Fellow Americans, I am completely f*cked", opened the Commander In Chief. "For 13 long and grueling weeks, I have fought long and hard to field a competitive team and justify the $75 buy in. But today, at 1400 hours, that will come to an end. It's time I accept that the fact with the loss of my RB1, and the trading deadline having passed, this is an unwinnable league. The chances of making it through the playoffs are so slim that I can't in good faith commit any more resources or attention to it. My team, Barack To The Top, is finished."
