The 2005 Football Pool

as told by the Commish

Week 4



"Krazy with a K" Karl Knechtel wins again! Brett Favre(Fav-rah)'s late comeback ruined Collie Canseco's dreams of week 4 supremacy. Karl rebounded after a miserable week 3 to go 10-4, becoming the first player this year to turn a profit. Congrats to Karl and the Knechtel family!

Rounding out the Fab 5 from week 4

Two Beer Queer, Marichelle Tanag 10-4 - Times are good for the "Shell". Now if only her boyfriend would sleep through All Hands IT Meetings.

Jason Weinstein 10-4 - Can I rip your ticket??

CollieCanseco, Colin Greene 10-4 - Hates the prevent defense

Eliwearsaskirt, Keith Miller 10-4 - If Eli wears a skirt, does Mike Martz wear a thong?



Karl Knechtel 10-4 Moose, Ingram and Miayke 0-14

State of the Pool

You folks really respond to adversity and criticism. After being laid into last week by your commissioner, you responded with your first +.500 week of the season (for those players who participated) (313-303). Overall, we are still well below the Mendoza line, but we are on an up tick.

After four weeks, here are your Top 5:

Two Beer Queer, Marichelle Tanag leads the league with 33 wins. I have deemed her the "Quiet Assassin", as Marichelle has quietly snuck up on the competition this year, in true Marichelle fashion. I hope she likes the nickname, the runner up was "Silent but Deadly", but I think that is more appropriate for Soohoo (the deadly part at least) - i kid, i kid...

Jason Weinstein trails the Assassin by one game. Once the Great White Hope of Ardsley Panthers basketball - due to his ability to dunk a tennis ball - Weinstein's existence now centers around his fantasy football team. I'm the maaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Betsy Nichols is tied for second with 32 wins. Nichols has been very impressive in her rookie season (you see, the key is to not know me, so nothing disparaging can be said about you or your loved ones)

Behold, the Power of Cheese, Sage Crary rounds out our three way tie for second. Rookie Sage has been a familiar face this season on the leaderboard and is proving to be wise beyond her years.

Michael Casserly is two games behind our leader. Mike is the smartest of all 1999 Equitable trainees because he hatched a plan to leave the company, earn an MBA and then come back as a consultant making a crap load more than those idiots that stayed!!

The Cellar

If this was golf, Moose Haas would be shattering Tiger's records, but former perennial champion, Patrick Ingram, is knocking on the cellar door - only three games behind Moose. Honorable mention goes to last year's salutatorian, Mrs. Rog, who is six games out - but with that fat diamond and last year's winnings - who gives a s&*t?

Best of luck in week 4!
