Week 11 Power Rankings
Funny Money Power Rankings – Week 11
Teddy KGB splashed the Wild Card pot with a winning bet on Dem Rayyyvens, but couldn’t crack even the top two in the North. However, he did put himself in playoff position. The bottom of the league has risen collectively, with $-1000 being the lowest total as of this week. Eight teams have their Wild Card bets on the shelf. Who’s next?
Here are your updated power rankings:
Biggest rise: Teddy KGB: was 8, now 5; Thunder Lips: was 11, now 8; Brian Piccolo: was 13, now 10
Biggest drop: Karl Farbman: was 7, now 13
(Last week’s rank; Current total)
1. Gordon Bombay (1; $2,700)
Another week, another $500 for Bombay. He put even more distance between him and the rest of the league.
2. Mr. Marbles (2; $2,100)
Marbles leads the Wild Card Playoff Race, and remains a step behind the league leader, trying to make it a battle down the stretch.
3. Kimmy Gibbler (3; $1,800)
Speaking of battles, Gibbler holds a slight advantage in the South, but has formidable opponents in the rearview mirror.
4. Blossom Russo (5; $1,900)
Blossom still has a commanding lead in the East and still has a good shot at the big bucks: the overall regular season champ.
5. Teddy KGB (8; $1,700)
He hit the big bet and now must keep his game honed for the remainder of the season if he wants to make the playoffs.
6. Bayonnaise (6; $1,700)
A late bet cost Bayonnaise from winning $500, but other than that he had a flawless Week 10.
7. The People’s Champ (4; $1,300)
Something tells me that the People’s Champ is the most dangerous franchise in the league right now. He is lying in the weeds…
8. Thunder Lips (11; $1,200)
After a few down weeks, Thunder Lips is back in the hunt and must keep up his strong winning percentage or hope that those in front of him start making stale picks.
9. The 21th Precinct (9; $900)
The Precinct quietly rose up the standings and has taken over the West. It should be a good race for the remainder of the year – all five franchises are within $1000 of each other.
10. Brian Piccolo (13; $800)
Piccolo is nipping at the Precinct’s heels after a big $500 week.
11. Mr. DeBlasis (10; $600)
Just another ho-hum week for DeBlasis.
12. Bummy (12; $700)
Five-teamer. ZZZZzzzzZZZZ
13. Karl Farbman (7; $400)
I’d love to give you a ride, but I’ve got Karl Farbman in here. Terrible picks. -$500 for the week.
14. Waldo Geraldo Faldo (14; $300)
Waldo returns! A perfect week has him within earshot of the division lead! What a two week turnaround. Plus $1500 in two short weeks.
15. Boss Hardigan (16; $-100)
A perfect week for Boss Hardigan put him back in contention in the West as well.
16. Babe (15; $-600)
Lost $100 – stick a fork in Babe, he’s done.
17. The Phoenix (17; -$800)
The Phoenix looks to be done, too. Especially since he’s already used his Wild Card bet.
18. Rick Moranis (18; -$800)
Moranis is hanging around. And now the campaign is over. Time for a surge?
19. Chris B. Corey (19; -$800)
The world travels of Chris B. Corey produce another good week. But if history is any guide, he’ll lost $500 this week.
20. The Beard of Zeus (20; -$1,000)
Time to pull out the big bet, big boy?

Week 10 Power Rankings – Rolling Stones Edition
Funny Money Power Rankings – Week 10 – Rolling Stones Edition
A week of ups and downs had Gordon Bombay increasing his lead, Bummy and Waldo Geraldo Faldo getting back into the mix by winning their wild card bets, and Boss Hardigan falling to the cellar of the West Division in losing his wild card. And now, your rankings and comments with special guest commentator, Mick Jagger.
Here are your updated power rankings:
Biggest rise: Waldo Geraldo Faldo: was 20, now 14
Biggest drop: Boss Hardigan: was 10, now 16
(Last week’s rank; Current total)
1. Gordon Bombay (1; $2,200)
Bombay can’t get no Satisfaction – increased his lead, won $500, and still hasn’t had to use the wild card bet yet. He’s on top, yet just never looks back.
2. Mr. Marbles (3; $1,800)
Mr. Marbles sees a wager and he wants to Paint It, Black. He made some money this week but is still trying to catch Bombay. It’s not easy facing up when your whole world is black.
3. Kimmy Gibbler (4; $1,900)
Can’t You Hear Her Knocking? Gibbler is on the doorstep of the overall lead, but late picks this week hurt her.
4. The People’s Champ (5; $1,400)
Though the Champ’s back is broad, it’s a hurtin. He won $500 but is still in second in his division. Will he return to glory or remain a Beast of Burden? Is he rough enough? Is he tough enough?
5. Blossom Russo (2; $1,400)
A few weeks ago Blossom looked to have a division title Under His Thumb, but now Bummy has made some noise and is within striking distance.
6. Bayonnaise (7; $1,300)
Who could ever put a name on Bayonnaise? He won $500 on the week while the sun was bright, but no one knows how the upcoming Ruby Thursdays will treat him.
7. Karl Farbman (6; $900)
I know It’s Only the Funny Money Power Rankings, but I like it.
8. Teddy KGB (9; $1,100)
No Sympathy for the Teddy – he was pleased to meet a perfect week of betting and it has him in prime position to grab a playoff berth.
9. The 21th Precinct (11; $800)
The Precinct Can’t Always Get What He Wants, but if he tries sometimes, he just might find, he’s $100 out of the division lead.
10. Mr. DeBlasis (8; $800)
The Street Fighting Man of the Funny Money, DeBlasis remained on the bubble for the playoffs.
11. Thunder Lips (12; $700)
Like a little bit of Brown Sugar, Thunder Lips sweetened his chances by having a big week, but needs another one to solidify his spot among the league’s elite.
12. Bummy (14; $600)
Time is On the Side of Bummy, who aced his wild card bet and is now only $800 out of the lead in the East. He’ll coming running back to the lead.
13. Brian Piccolo (13; $300)
Some Girls give me money, Some Girls buy me clothes, but Piccolo just wishes Some Girls would give him winning bets.
14. Waldo Geraldo Faldo (20; $-200)
Born in a crossfire hurricane, Jumpin Jack, err Waldo, had a $1,000 winning week to leap out of the basement in the West.
15. Babe (15; $-500)
Well, he used to be in contentionnnnn, but It’s All Over Now. He used to be in contentionnnnn, but It’s All Over Now.
16. Boss Hardigan (10; $-600)
Boss Hardigan rolled the Tumbling Dice in Week 9 and ended up losing the farm. Pair a lost wild card with late picks, and he dropped $1,100 for the week. Got to keep on rollin’.
17. The Phoenix (19; -$700)
Tell Me, he’s coming back in the league. You’ve got to Tell me, he’s coming back in the league.
18. Rick Moranis (17; -$800)
It wasn’t Rick Moranis’s 19th Nervous Breakdown, it was just another mediocre week that has him way back in the standings.
19. Chris B. Corey (18; -$1,300)
Don’t hang around, cause two’s a crowd. The lonely drifter, Chris B. Corey, might be packing it in for the season.
20. The Beard of Zeus (16; -$1,500)
This could be the last time, this could be the last time, this could be the last time, we hear from Zeus….I don’t know.

The Midseason Report
THE MIDSEASON REPORT
The following is a completely biased report of first-half performance for each franchise. Taken into account are current standing, fines, betting style, sportsmanship, personal hygiene, footwear selections, favorite character on “Cheers”, and general attitude, as well as several other factors that are impossible to list.
EAST
Blossom Russo
Current money: $1,700
Winning Percentage: .630
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Week 7 – Tennessee – Won $800
Comment: Overall performance has been pretty good, but has been aided by a slick sports gambling site. She also has fallen back into last year’s trap of asking the Executive Director too many questions.
Grade: B+
Bummy
Current money: -$200
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $100
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: Nothing too good and nothing too bad has kept Bummy in contention for the postseason. His wild card bet will make or break his season.
Grade: B-
Babe
Current money: -$400
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Week 8 – Buffalo – Lost $800
Comment: It was sink or swim with his Buffalo wild card bet, and Babe sunk like a stone. On the bright side, there is still a lot of season left, but he’ll need to string together a few big weeks to get back in it.
Grade: C
The Beard of Zeus
Current money: -$1,000
Winning Percentage: .406
Fines: $100
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: The Beard of Zeus lurks in the shadows and actually has put together a few good weeks as of late. He has yet to find his rhythm and still can pull the wild card trigger.
Grade: C+
The Phoenix
Current money: -$1,100
Winning Percentage: .536
Fines: $800
Wild Card Bet: Week 8 – San Diego – Lost $800
Comment: Losing his wild card bet might have been the final nail in the coffin on The Phoenix, who is tied for the league lead in fines. Take out that big loss and his fine money, and he’d be having a pretty good season.
Grade: D+
NORTH
Gordon Bombay
Current money: $1,700
Winning Percentage: .646
Fines: $100
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: A model of efficiency, Bombay is once again at the top of the standings, toting a nice winning percentage along with it, and still has not used the wild card bet.
Grade: A-
Mr. Marbles
Current money: $1,500
Winning Percentage: .605
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Week 7 – Tennessee – Won $800
Comment: Got into the thick of the playoff race after his big Week 7, and is finally managing his money like he should be.
Grade: B+
Teddy KGB
Current money: $600
Winning Percentage: .563
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: It has been a roller-coaster ride for Teddy, who has had several weeks where he has won $500, and also multiple weeks where he has lost $500. He needs to pick his spot for his wild card bet if he wants to make a run at the division.
Grade: B-
Thunder Lips
Current money: $200
Winning Percentage: .638
Fines: $600
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: Was cruising right along, with a great winning percentage, betting five-teamers each week and making a killing. Then he didn’t make his bets one week, and has fallen back in the division. His percentage alone makes him dangerous in the second half.
Grade: C
Chris B. Corey
Current money: -$800
Winning Percentage: .475
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Week 2 – Cincinnati – Lost $800
Comment: Ballsy move by betting the BENGALS early in the season with his wild card, and he paid the price for it. The road back is a long one, and he looks to have let another season of Funny Money Football slip away.
Grade: C-
SOUTH
Kimmy Gibbler
Current money: $1,500
Winning Percentage: .688
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: Much like Bombay, has a great winning percentage and still has his wild card bet available. The competition in his division is fierce, and it will definitely come down to the last few weeks of the season, and who blinks first with the wild card bet.
Grade: A-
The People’s Champ
Current money: $900
Winning Percentage: .619
Fines: $200
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: Hasn’t been too bad this season, but does have some uncharacteristic fine money, which may come back to haunt him later in the year.
Grade: B
Bayonnaise
Current money: $800
Winning Percentage: .500
Fines: $100
Wild Card Bet: Week 5 – New England – Won $800
Comment: Cashed in on the Patriots in Week 5, and now finds himself holding onto a playoff berth. He must improve his percentage in the coming weeks, or manage his money wisely.
Grade: C+
Mr. DeBlasis
Current money: $700
Winning Percentage: .543
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Week 8 – Baltimore – Won $800
Comment: A few tough breaks have kept DeBlasis from shooting up in the standings. After a big Week 8, he is in prime position for a playoff run.
Grade: B-
Rick Moranis
Current money: -$700
Winning Percentage: .522
Fines: $800
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: Crushed himself by not making his bets one week, but still isn’t out of it completely because his wild card bet is available.
Grade: D
WEST
Karl Farbman
Current money: $1,000
Winning Percentage: .611
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: Has had only a one negative week, but it was a big one (-$500), and has benefitted from his divisional foes falling back. A wild card bet win might be essential in winning the division.
Grade: B+
Boss Hardigan
Current money: $500
Winning Percentage: .548
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: Looked to be in the driver’s seat a few weeks ago, but has faltered as of late. Right now, on the outside looking in on the playoffs.
Grade: B-
The 21th Precinct
Current money: $300
Winning Percentage: .568
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: Hasn’t been able to gather any momentum, but hasn’t fallen behind either. Wild card bet will be key in the second half.
Grade: B
Brian Piccolo
Current money: $200
Winning Percentage: .475
Fines: $0
Wild Card Bet: Week 6 – New York Jets – Won $700
Comment: Vaulted himself into contention after the Jets came through in Week 6, but has crashed and burned since then. He needs to turn things around to make the playoffs.
Grade: C+
Waldo Geraldo Faldo
Current money: -$1,200
Winning Percentage: .432
Fines: $100
Wild Card Bet: Still Available
Comment: The last three weeks, Waldo has just disappointed his legions of fans. He looked to be one good week away from vying for the division, but then “poof” – he was gone.
