Rivalry History
Overall Record: Garbage Cans lead all-time series 5-1.
Although we are friends in real life, the smack talk and animosity
always builds throughout the season between the Garbage Cans and Phoenix Slam.
2007 Regular Season - Garbage Cans won 174-114. Matt Hasselbeck had a huge passing game,
Steven Jackson and Brandon Jacobs each had multi-TD games, and the Detroit defense went wild
with two INT's for TDs and a punt return TD against Chicago
to blow out the Phoenix Slam.
2007 First Round Playoffs - Garbage Cans won 158-143. Controversy struck in this one.
The Garbage Cans were far ahead, but the Phoenix Slam still had Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne yet
to play on Monday night. The Colts
offense went wild against Baltimore, with the Manning/Wayne connection scoring fantasy points like crazy. However, the Colts
were so far ahead at halftime (the score was 31-0), Manning and Wayne were benched for much of the second half. That
secured a narrow Garbage Cans victory 158-143. To this day,
Phil still complains about this unfortunate turn of events. :-D
2008 Regular Season - Phoenix Slam won 117-100. The Garbage Cans had their biggest bye week.
Both starting RB's Marion Barber and rookie sensation Matt Forte, QB Tony Romo and
TE Chris Cooley were all out. Chris Johnson
and Brandon Marshall were the top performers for the Phoenix Slam.
2009 Regular Season - Garbage Cans won 111-91.
It was a dismal year for the Garbage Cans. At 3-9, they were in last
place, but of course they played their hearts out against
the Boston Cry Sux of Massachusetts. Thanks to huge games by rookies Robert Meachem (see his
amazing offensive fumble TD!) and Jermichael Finley, the Garbage Cans
ended their season on a high note by defeating Phil, who did win the 2009 Manager of the Year award.
2010 Regular Season - Garbage Cans won 111-59.
Led by MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the tough WR combination of Roddy White and
Jeremy Maclin, the Garbage Cans dominated in an embarrassing and lopsided
blowout.
2011 Regular Season - Garbage Cans won 119-86.
Percy Harvin and Marshawn Lynch had two TD's each
(see Lynch's amazing 15 yard scramble!)
and Roddy White and Mike Tolbert also chipped in TDs to lead the Garbage Cans to a decisive victory.
The Garbage Cans were winning by 65+ points after Sunday's games.
Phoenix Slam QB Philip Rivers had his best game of the year on Monday Night Football
to make the match up seem somewhat close.
