WK23 - the Comeback Kid

Can Burgundy pull a Slick Willie?

"Clinton's the fucking man," said Burgundy.

WK23 is in the books, and Randy's stats machine has spit out some really eye-opening stuff. Let me give you the visuals first:

So, first off, Ronald Burgundy, who was left for dead earlier this year, has resurrected himself ---

"You mean, ERECTED?" asked Burgundy, rhetorically.

--- Sure. Erected himself from the dead and is now second as of last week's statistics (well, as I post this, he's technically first). Can you believe such a turnaround?

"Yes! I can!"

This is a pattern we've seen time and time again; slow start, erectile finish. Sitch was able to achieve this two years in a row in previous Leagues, and it looks like Burgundy may be in the road to achieving it as well. But, what I find incredibly amazing is that Burgundy has done what no other select-GM has ever done: he's stormed back after having a League-worst PPGP for much of the season, and now he leads PPGP. Is that ridiculous or what? As of yesterday, here are the PPGP numbers:

1. Burgundy, 3.34

2. Sitch, 3.33

3. Tree Bone, 3.33

4. Safari, 3.31

5. Dick Burns, 3.24

"Unbelievable," said Safari, choking on a tissue.

Ah yes, times are tough for Safari. It looked like he was running away with the Wring at one point, but the last quarter of the year has slowed him down. But, he's still got a reputable PPGP and plenty of offensive firepower left; don't give up yet, my dear lion. There are still games left to be played. Remember, just when you think a man is untouchable, he ends up touching someone.

"Um... about that..."

And let's not forget about Sitch, either. With a 3.33 PPGP, his team is still in the hunt for it, and he has plenty of goalie games in hand. If he can assemble some tenders to play out the remaining games, it's very possible that he could provide a (very, very late) surge as well. This is commendable, despite Sitch continuously stating that he's been unhappy with his team all year.

Gentlemen and lady, it really does look like it's going to come down to the wire. Brace yourselves.

Cordially,

the Fucking Randy
