Week #5 - Results

Overview

Sad news to report. We lost a player. Hate Bill for Making Me Do It submitted his resignation via text after last week's results were posted. While the reason given was for "lack of juice", I have to wonder if the shine was off the past champion's apple (two time title holder no less.) Did he not have the energy? Was the challenge simply not there anymore? Did the ever growing streak of years without a Superbowl title in Foxboro finally shake his faith in football? Only time will tell. Alas, our designated charity will not receive the originally forecasted $500 but the slightly lower, yet still hearty, $475. So to thee, past champion, I bid the fair winds and following seas.

Now, onto the action...

Movers and Shakers

BK All Day was clearly shaken when he was removed from the top spot last week by SUCFP. His response? Did he quit? NO. Did he recoil in fear? NO. He came back with the week's best performance in the pool with 11 points out of a possible 15, which was really a possible 13 since we had two pushes on the week. Not only did BK All Day take the top spot, he gave himself a cushion of two points. Last week's top spot holder, SUCFP, faltered a little with an 8 point week. Not horrible but not enough to remain comfortably on the throne.

On the negative side there were a handful of shaky performances with GoTerps laying a 6 point week and RastaZombies-WalkingDreads going with 7. After that, everyone was 8 or better, which is a plus 50% week so not too shabby.

Stat of the Week

We have not had one week out of the five when two or more people shared the best week performance. Thus far, only one person, each week, has bested the field. BK All Day has done it twice in the short span with best weeks in Week 2 and 5. Other Best Week title holders are Fat Little Girlfriends, Boardwalk Empire, and Ultimate Bill.
