Week 2 Recap: Winners & Losers
Winners
Boss Hardigan keeps things perfect with another flawless week. He leads the East, but three others – Chris B. Corey, Patrick Bateman, and Mr. Marbles – all had perfect weeks as well…..Babe and Bud Fox both won $500 again and have a big lead on the rest of the North….Karl Hungus continues to trend positive and leads the South….And in the West, Yaz wins $500 to jump into a tie for the division lead. Bayonnaise also won $500 to get back into the thick of things.
Losers
T-Ferg dropped $500 and has some ground to make up in the North, but it’s early….Gordon Bombay and Shecky also had rough weeks and will look to rebound and get back into contention….Karl Farbman lost $500 and is in the cellar of the hotly-contested South….And no bets by Blossom Russo so early in the season can’t be a great sign of things to come.

Week 1 Recap: Winners & Losers
Winners
It was right back to work for Boss Hardigan, who was perfect in Week 1 and leads the way in the East….Babe and Bud Fox had flawless weeks and sit atop the North Division….The South experienced a surge in profits, with all franchises in positive dollars in Week 1. Karl Hungus went big with his wild card bet and has the early lead. Right behind him is a crowd, with Neon Boudeaux and Thine each going 5-for-5 on five-teamers for perfect weeks. Rick Moranis and returning franchise Chalky Studebaker also won $500 and are nipping at Hungus’ heels….And in the West, two-time winner The People’s Champ takes the division lead with a perfect week.
Losers
Judge Smails dropped $300 and is an early hole in the East….Larisa Oleynik was the only FMFL franchise to lose $500 in Week 1 and is in the cellar in the North….Both Karl Farbman and Waldo Geraldo Faldo eked out $100 in Week 1, but given how the rest of the South performed, they find themselves playing catchup early….And both Kiko Garcia and Bayonnaise have early deficits, though manageable, to make up in the West.

Welcome to the 2020 Season from Karl Farbman
(Editor’s note: The 2019 winner, Karl Farbman, has penned some words of wisdom as we kick off the 2020 season. His message is below.)
It’s great to be back in the winner’s circle as the reigning champion of the Funny Money Football League.
First off, it is an honor to join The People’s Champ and Kiko Garcia as a two-time winner of the FMFL. It is truly elite company and I am grateful to join you with multiple titles.
Secondly, I salute all of the other past champions of the FMFL. I would like to mention them by name: Yaz, Larisa Oleynik, Bayonnaise, Kimmy Gibbler, Gordon Bombay, Babe, and the late, great Dr. Oge. For the rest of the league, take a look at this list, along with The People’s Champ, Kiko Garcia, and me, Karl Farbman. We are winners. We have each succeeded when it meant the most.
There’s plenty of people in the FMFL who are great at talking. There are ups and downs for those franchise owners, but what I see as their biggest downfall is this: Talking is what they do best. They talk because they can’t win.
Another season begins, and all totals are back at $0. Now the “talkers” may say, “It’s all luck….”, or “I’m great in the regular season….”, or “This is fixed.” To me, there are only two groups in the FMFL: the winners and the losers. I’ve listed the winners above. The losers know who they are and need not be mentioned.
Best of luck to everyone this season.
