WEEKLY AWARDS: WEEKS 4-6
The Professor is going to step in here and update this blog while our beloved Commissioner is on vacation. Because we are a little behind I will make these short and sweet this week and no pictures because I'm lazy. Next week will have pictures.
Week 4
Top Points ($10)
Lamborghini Percy flipped his fortunes after being the victim of the top scorer in Week 3. The breakout that I had envisioned finally happened as he pasted Choppa 146.54-96.36. 9 out of 10 players scored at least 9 points, and interestingly enough only 9 out of 10 players scored for Lambo, as Dennis Pitta was held without a catch. That vaunted wide receiver corps of Marshall, Cruz, Fitzgerald, and Harvin finally broke out to the tune of 58.5 points, more than 14.5 per receiver. The cherry on top was a 23 point performance from JJ Watt and Co. on that Houston defense.
Winner: Lamborghini Percy
Unique Achievement: "You're The Man Award" ($5)
This award goes to the one individual player who scored the most points for his fantasy team. In the style of Miss America:
2nd runner-up is......Drew Brees! Thanks to a 35.84 point performance, Blood, Sweat, and Beers only lost by 22.72, instead of an even bigger margin. Unfortunately, Drew Brees was also outscored in his match up by...
1st runner-up is......Aaron Rodgers! His 36.06 just edged out Drew Brees, but just like his owner My Vick in a Box, he outclassed his competition. But Discount Double Check couldn't take the title belt away from the true winner of this beauty contest.....
Winner is....Handsome Tom Brady! His 38.00 point performance helped The Big Gostkowski to a key win over the commissioner, who had shamelessly traded him away in the days leading up to this matchup. It seems fitting that like in real life a traded player plays with an exceptional chip on his shoulder against his former team.
Winner: The Big Gostkowski
Week 5
Top Points ($10)
Could it be???? Why that's the sound of a high powered Italian car revving its engines yet again. Lamborghini Percy claims the top crown yet again, leaving My Vick in a Box to wallow in the bridesmaid chair for the second consecutive week. The victim this week was our beleaguered commissioner who got waxed 132.60 to 102.38. If you thought the week before was a breakout for this team's stable of stud WRs then this week was throwing down the gauntlet. The same four: Marshall, Cruz, Fitzgerald, and Harvin totalled a ridiculous 76.20 points with three of them totalling over 20. Getting 76 points from your 4 WRs leads to a win and a top score crown every week.
Winner: Lamborghini Percy
Unique Achievement: "The Flawed System Designed to Put Money in My Pocket" Award ($5)
This award, named by Michael Vick's owner went to the team whose starting QB had the most rushing yards on the week. Of course, true to the merciless nature of fantasy football, the owner of Michael Vick didn't even place in the top three for his own self-described award. Our winner was a bit of a surprise, but not entirely. The top three:
Aaron Rodgers - 57 yds
Cam Newton - 42 yds
Andrew Luck - 24 yds
All are mobile quarterbacks and all belong on this list, but this time My Vick in a Box gets the last laugh as he secures the 5 dollar award for week 5.
Winner: My Vick in a Box
Week 6
Top Points ($10)
Despite being 0-5 headed into the week against his matchup with the commissioner, I Got Gronkchitis!!! kept the faith and was rewarded with a monster week. Mr. Carlson's Class was eradicated to the tune of 138.28 to 78.10. It seems like a little Ewing Theory was in action as Gronk's 50 dollar prize QB was on bye this week, handing over the reins to a very competent Christian Ponder. Besides the 23 put up by Ponder, Gronk got a big boost from his TE, Flex, K, and DEF positions as they all went 13+ to pick up a struggling WR corps that was inexplicably led by Josh Gordon, he of the 12 catches for a 22 yard average. At least the season isn't a total loss for our lovable Captain Exclamation Point.
Winner: I Got Gronkchitis!!!
Unique Achievement: "The Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda Award" ($5)
Even I think this one is dumb, since the system was suppose to award unique but positive play, but somehow this one slipped in to award the owner with the misfortune of having the highest scoring non-QB bench player. But someone's gotta get paid and this week it belongs to SUHkkake Ejections, who not only gets the prize, but also the warm fuzzy feeling that comes with beating another opponent by less than 1 point (I blame the Eagles' awful 4th quarter). The top three for the award:
Shonn Greene - 34.10
CJ Spiller - 17.00
Sidney Rice - 14.10
Winner: SUHkkake Ejections
Bad Beat ($30)
Despite my loss by .64, I never had a shot at this 30 bucks. Our leader remains Blood, Sweat, and Beers with his ridiculous loss by .02 also to SUHkkake Ejections. Pretty tough to beat this one.

I Got Gronkchitis!!! $15
The Big Gostkowski $10
Deep Pockets $10
Matty rIce $10
Raider Nation $10
