WK17 - CrosBONE T!ME

"I love you, Sid!"

About fucking time, right?

Ronald Burgundy, mahogany aficionado, had been a lost man for most of the season so far. His lack of strength, edge and general awkwardness rivaled the likes of Coldplay's performance during last night's half time show.

But does anyone remember the wise words good ol' Commissioner Randy spoke - repeatedly - over the last few months? This Wring is fucking tight (tight! tight! tight!) and it looks like anyone can take it this season. Just when you think the "Basement Burg" has settled into his cave of musty mattresses, the Burg Surge resurrects, catapulting him off the floor and into competition.

"Jeah! That's the way I like it, baby!" screamed Burgundy.

WK17 has wrapped up, and though there aren't any changes in the standings, there's change afoot (in my opinion, anyway). Here are the charts, courtesy of the stats machine:

The gap between Safari and Sitch continues to be a close one, but Burgundy was this week's top bread winner, bringing home 166.25 fantasy points. Over the past month (excluding the week including the All-Star Game), Burgundy has averaged about 160 fantasy points per week; that's impressive.

"That's impressive; I'm not even mad," said Burgundy. "Then again, why would I be made at my own success?! HAHA!"

Thanks, Burgundy.

Though he's hanging on by a thread, I still have to give credit to Safari, who's now been no. 1 for 13 consecutive weeks. With 13 being an unlucky number, could this be the final week that he's atop the rankings?

"Fuck no," said Safari.

Though the Burg Surge is a threat, Safari still boasts impressive offensive numbers, and continues to produce when it matters most, i.e. on Super Saturdays.

Tree Bone still owns PPGP with 3.43, but the spread is getting thin. Safari and Sitch are now both locked at 3.32, while Burgs (though still last in PPGP) is now up to 3.19, thanks to the power performances of Crosbone and Malkin, not to mention strong tending in Schneider and Bishop.

And of course, the Rainbow shows us once again that parity is among us in this League. Sitch, who's always been an advocate of a well-balanced fitness regime, is sporting a well-balanced Rainbow; a combination of greens and yellows, with no drastic reds. However, he still hasn't been able to crack top spot, and with his decline in production over the past week, one must wonder if his roster is capable of being crowned Champion.

"Must... Carbo... Load..." said Sitch.

Best of luck to you all. Until next time, gentlemen and lady,
