Week 3 Power Rankings

by The Executive Director

Funny Money Power Rankings – Week 3

The majority of the franchises held their collective breath as Green Bay and Detroit squared off in a thriller. Thirteen teams bet the Packers to see them go up by 21, then lose the lead, then score 24 straight in the 4th quarter. Many franchises saw their week saved by the Packers defense. Chris B. Corey, who lives his life just like his tattoo says: “Get Rich or Die Tryin,” lost his Wild Card bet, an $800 wager on the Bungles. I guess he died tryin. A few lucky teams won $500 this week, as the cream starts to rise to the top in each division.

Here are your updated power rankings:

Biggest rise: Bayonnaise: was 16, now 8
Biggest drop: Teddy KGB: was 3, now 12

(Last week’s rank; Current total)

1. The People’s Champ (1; $1,000)

So glamourous, so glamourous, glamourous, oh the flossy flossy. The People’s Champ stays perfect on the season.

2. Gordon Bombay (4; $800)

The Minnesota Miracle Man rises up and wins $500, putting him in a familiar spot on the top tier of the league.

3. Boss Hardigan (5; $800)

Newcomer Boss wins $500 as well, proving he can swim with the big fish, even though he is wearing a terrible speedo.

4. Karl Farbman (2; $500)

A win, a loss, and a push aren’t going to get it done for Farbman. He could be moving on down if he doesn’t take care of business.

5. Mr. Marbles (7; $600)

Mr. Marbles, who moonlights as the lead singer of the hit Cleveland area band “The Qdoba Boys,” inched his way further towards the lead this week.

6. Babe (10; $600)

Babe proved in Week 2 that even absolute busts deserve a second chance. A perfect week has him leading the East.

7. Thunder Lips (12; $400)

Another rookie that is making a name for himself early on. Thunder Lips has bet on a league high nine games thus far, but has won six of them. Good show.

8. Bayonnaise (16; $300)

You can’t 86 the Bayonnaise on a delicious Week 2. Bayo won $500 and put himself in the thick of things after a lackluster opening week.

9. Blossom Russo (14; $200)

Blossom rises slightly and needs to capitalize on the momentum she built in Week 2.

10. Waldo Geraldo Faldo (6; $200)

Waldo dropped down four spots, just as “Family Matters” did when “Dinosaurs!” led off the TGIF lineup.

11. Kimmy Gibbler (11; $200)

Medium. Medium. Medium.

12. Teddy KGB (3; $0)

Week 1: Two for two. Week 2: Zero for two. Too bad he didn’t consult his baby’s mama first before betting.

13. The 21th Precinct (13; $0)

Don’t look now, but the 21th is falling behind in the West – no teams are in the negative.

14. Brian Piccolo (8; $200)

Hasn’t shown much in the first two weeks, but could go on a run in Week 3.

15. Mr. DeBlasis (9; $0)

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

16. The Phoenix (18; -$100)

Got back on track by winning $100 on the week.

17. Bummy (17; -$300)

Poor showing so far. And to think they used to call Bummy “The Executor.”

18. The Beard of Zeus (19; -$1,000)

The Curse of the Kudler has struck. No correct bets thus far.

19. Chris B. Corey (15; -$1,100)

Lost his Wild Card bet, but salvaged a little bit on the Indy comeback. There are still 15 weeks left, but already it looks unlikely that Chris will be in the playoffs.

20. Rick Moranis (20; -$1,000)

Didn’t make his picks. At all. Lost $600. Here’s shovel, can you dig it fool?
