Week 4 Standings

Yeah, I know my recaps have been late.  Sue me.  Might as well, considering every pissy parent I talk to threatens to.  At least if I have to give you my stuff, I can steal it back.

So here's my pledge to you.  I'll write the recap every Tuesday morning during work.

I'm writing this post right after the end of Game 2 of the Angels/Red Sox series.  So please let me get this out of the way:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, that felt good.  OK, fun's over. Let's talk about Week 4.  I'd like to show you my visual interpretation of Week 4 in relation to our picks:

As you can see, we all got trampled (yes, I know the Chinese army didn't run that guy over.  Just go with it).  The reason why Heather is the bus being passed is because she didn't make her picks this week.  

Let's take a look at the big board:

Standings After Week 4

1. Scott (41)- Scott keeps plugging along, but there's some major competition right on his heels.

2. Dave (40)- Dave and Scott both had 7 point weeks, which for this week was respectable.

3(T). Steph and Ryan (38)- Ryan won the week with 9 points, and jumped into a tie for third with steady Steph.

5. Jen (37)- Jen was not happy after this week, even though it wasn't her who just watched her team's noodle-armed QB throw two picks and cost the team a win against the Buffalo freaking Bills.  Let's Go, Buffalo?  Go to Hell, Buffalo.  Oh wait, you already live there.

6(T). John and "Gram" (36)- More on this tomorrow.

8(T). Holly and Matt (33)- Let the record show that I ahve the best tiebreaker average.  Ignore the record showing that I suck.

10. Bill (30)- Bill had an excellent week, with 8 points.  Plus the Giants won, and I think Bill sacked Donovan McNabb from his couch.

11. Nancy & Janie (29)- A 6 point week is nothing to be upset about considering the circumstances, but they're still perilously close to the basement.

12. Heather (25)- Heather didn't make her picks, but is still only 4 points away from her closest competitor.

Week 4 Awards

Free Fallin': I guess it would have to be Heather, right?  Right.

Holly Shot: This goes to Ryan, for managing to sneak into a tie for third.

Best Pick: In a week of horrible picks and results, there was one nugget of gold in the pile of dirt.  That pick was Atlanta over Houston, chosen by Ryan and Dave.

Worst Pick: I picked San Francisco over Seattle, but even that was more sound than picking anyone to lose to New England.  Nancy & Janie took a chance on Cincy, and lost.

Quote of the Week: I won't print it verbatim (because I'm too lazy to go get it), but it involves John's "boys" and I think a belt sander.  I can't remember, but it was funny.  If you want to see it, go read the comments.  And then write your own comments.

I'll have more to write tomorrow, so stay tuned.
