Week 13 Recap

Before writing the week 14 recap, I contacted the person who invited Marco R. into the league. I noted that Marco has been unusually quiet for someone in 1st place, and I haven't highlighted him yet. I asked for some details about him and his background. The information I got was a perfect match for Jackie Jr from The Sopranos.

"As Italian as they get," "attended Rutgers," "regularly wears leather jackets and jumpsuits." Okay, I might have added that last detail, but that's the image I got when my source provided the information I asked for. Regardless, Marco R. will no longer be called Marco; his new name is Jackie Jr.

Jackie Jr holds an 11-2 record this season and has subtly claimed the top spot. Dan B. dominated first place for most of the season but suffered a major setback due to the Rams last week.

All attention is on Jackie Jr this week—no pressure. He has nine weeks to keep his lead in first place. Additionally, there's one detail I forgot to share. My source mentioned that Marco (before he became Jackie Jr) was complaining about the teaser and how my unnamed source tricked him into joining. I found it amusing because Kyle G. did the same thing to me six years ago. He sent me a text saying, "Join this league, you'll love it. $50 if you lose." What he didn't mention was that it was $50 to everyone who won if you lost. Regardless, we're all here now.

Johnny B. Good

John B. is another individual who has stayed out of the limelight. I should have highlighted him sooner, but somehow he went unnoticed. Last season, he secured 2nd place and earned a substantial $3,700. Currently, he's in 2nd place, just behind Jackie Jr. He would share the top spot if not for a week 8 penalty pot that set him back $200.

He's a regular at TNFDD (Thursday Night Double Dipper) and has been quite successful in deciding when to participate. Hopefully, he doesn't overanalyze his future selections, as first place is within his reach.

Don't Look Now ...

Without drawing too much attention, Ardel M. is currently on a four-game winning streak! Many doubted this was possible after he lost five consecutive games mid-season. He's steadily climbing up the leaderboard, securing victories each week, persevering, and maintaining his determination. I emphasize this every week to those struggling: you must keep accumulating wins, whether it's $100 or $600. Being in the green is what truly counts.

Sal "The Survivor" P.

Everyone, there's no survivor quite like Sal P. He's going for his second straight Survivor League championship. After the Bears rallied from a 20-10 deficit against the Giants in the 4th quarter, he remarked, "I see a path." Sal believes this is his week to secure the title. He envisions it clearly. No pressure, Sal, you've got this—you've already won it. Congratulations.

"Green Bay Sucks"

If you're not ready for the Bears vs Packers game this Sunday then you're not a man. Let's fucking go! Bear the fuck down! Gonna be a battle and a grind of a game. Can't wait.

Week 14

I could go on and on breaking down every single one of you but I got to get back to life. The lines are posted on the website. Good luck this week!
