Week 4 Power Rankings

by The Executive Director

Funny Money Power Rankings – Week 4

Both the #1 and #2 teams in the rankings this week continued their winning ways. For the most part the rest of the league hovered around the Equator in Week 3. A few exceptions were a rise by Gibbler and a fall by Babe and Mr. DeBlasis.

Here are your updated power rankings:

Biggest rise: Kimmy Gibbler: was 11, now 5
Biggest drop: Babe: was 6, now 11

(Last week’s rank; Current total)

1. The People’s Champ (1; $1,500)

DiMaggio’s hit streak. The Miami Dolphins’ undefeated season. Hall & Oates’ string of #1 hits. The Champ’s flawless season after three weeks is drawing comparisons to other great feats of perfection.

2. Gordon Bombay (2; $1.300)

Bombay wins $500 for the second week in a row and keeps the overall lead in his sights.

3. Boss Hardigan (3; $900)

Only gained $100 last week, but still the Boss of the West.

4. Mr. Marbles (5; $700)

Marbles stayed closed to Bombay and rumor has it that his secret is drinking a bottle of Ten High prior to making his picks each week.

5. Kimmy Gibbler (11; $700)

And Gibbler is alive and well! A perfect week has him cracking into the Top 5.

6.  Karl Farbman (4; $600)

Another average week after coming out the gate strong. Farbman must design a winning week soon if he wants to catch the Boss before he gets too far away.

7. Thunder Lips (7; $500)

Does his system work? Another four teamer – and three correct picks. But Bombay is pulling away….

8. Bayonnaise (8; $200)

After a big Week 2, the ‘Naise returned to bland form.

9. Waldo Geraldo Faldo (10; $300)

Waldo survived a mediocre week in the West, but can look back at this week as one where he could have gained ground.

10. Brian Piccolo (14; $100)

Piccolo is still breathing, but just barely. Could go either way.

11. Babe (6; $100)

Babe lost $500, but still leads the East. Could a negative total win the division?

12. The 21th Precinct (13; $-100)

Mediocrity won’t win the west, but there’s still a lot of season left and the Precinct is within relative striking distance.

13. Blossom Russo (9; $-300)

Sunk down in total but not in the rankings in the East.

14. Teddy KGB (12; $-100)

No splashing the pot this week: after a big Week 1, Teddy has lost steam.

15. Mr. DeBlasis (15; $-500)

Oh, Mr. DeBlasis, you lost all your bets and fell way behind the league leader. Time to pull out the wild card bet?

16. Bummy (17; -$500)

Tardy picks and bad bets make Bummy a dull boy.

17. Rick Moranis (20; -$900)

Moranis might need the help of Dr. Peter Venkman this week to continue to rise up the Power Rankings.

18. The Beard of Zeus (18; -$900)

Got off the proverbial schnide by winning a game! Things are really starting to snowball for the god.

19. The Phoenix (16; -$700)

No picks this week. The Phoenix has descended.

20. Chris B. Corey (19; -$1,000)

Down so low, winning a meager $100 isn’t going to cut the mustard.
