Week 6 Power Rankings
Funny Money Power Rankings – Week 6
With a ton of league money on Indianapolis last week, scoring 21 points in the last four minutes and covering was huge for many franchises. Things were shaken up at the top, as the People’s Champ was dethroned. Bayonnaise cashed in on his Wild Card bet, and a few division leaders changed as we head into Week 6.
Here are your updated power rankings:
Biggest rise: Bayonnaise: was 8, now 4
Biggest drop: The People’s Champ: was 1, now 7; Mr. Marbles: was 5, now 11
(Last week’s rank; Current total)
1. Gordon Bombay (2; $1,700)
Kept it going by picking up a few critical wins – takes over the top spot after the People’s Champ fell considerably.
2. Kimmy Gibbler (3; $1,400)
Gibbler’s rise to the top continues. She is now first in the ultra-competitive South Division.
3. Boss Hardigan (6; $1,500)
Had a perfect week with Farbman right on his tail and is challenging for the overall lead.
4. Bayonnaise (8; $1,300)
The Naise pulled out the Wild Card and it paid off handsomely. His Jacksonville bet kept him from the $1000 week, but he has put himself in playoff position.
5. Thunder Lips (4; $1,000)
The rare $0 week for Thunder Lips has him moving slightly up the rankings, but now the competition has grown in the playoff race. Will he continue to bet five-teamers?
6. Karl Farbman (7; $1,200)
Won $500 this week, but couldn’t pick up any ground on Boss Hardigan.
7. The People’s Champ (1; $1,100)
Fells Fest or not, the Champ just lost focus. His picks were late and he lost some cash. He dropped out of the overall lead and into third in his division. You better start swimming or you’ll sink like a stone.
8. Teddy KGB (9; $900)
A perfect week put KGB amid the league leaders. One of only two teams to bet the minimum two-teamer each week thus far, Teddy has been up and down all season. Experts say a -$500 week is in store this week if history is any guide.
9. Babe (12; $600)
Babe used a deadly combination of whiskey and late night drunk dials to his neighbor to regain the lead in the East, which is starting to become a somewhat respectable division.
10. Blossom Russo (11; $300)
Still has Babe in her sites.
11. Mr. Marbles (5; $300)
-$500. Drop it like it’s hot. Drop, drop it like it’s hot.
12. The 21th Precinct (15; $100)
The Precinct boldly prognosticated that Week 5 was when he’d get back in the positive, and he comes through. Also, via tiebreaker, moves from last place out West into third.
13. Brian Piccolo (13; $100)
Weird. Piccolo had another week in which he either lost or won $100. Weird.
14. The Phoenix (14; -$400)
Just when I think the Phoenix is ready to make his move, he puts on a knit hat and makes terrible picks.
15. Waldo Geraldo Faldo (10; $0)
Waldo plummets to last place in the West and might want to call on Urkel for his picks this week. It’s not the bets that he makes, it’s the bets that he doesn’t make.
16. Rick Moranis (19; -$500)
By way of a winning percentage tie, for the first time in the HISTORY of the Funny Money Football League, Moranis has emerged from last place in his division. Something tells me he’s in for something good.
17. Mr. DeBlasis (17; $-500)
Dropped to the cellar in the South.
18. Bummy (18; -$500)
Bummy’s Wild Card bet is coming. I can feel it.
19. Chris B. Corey (16; -$600)
Nothing really gained, nothing really lost. Since his retirement, Corey has lost his star power. Show me something.
20. The Beard of Zeus (20; -$1,300)
Late picks followed by bad picks. But the Executive Director does have to mention that the Beard of Zeus did treat him to three shots of Rumpleminze and four Budweisers on Saturday. That has to count for something.

Week 5 Power Rankings
Funny Money Power Rankings – Week 5
The league feasted on the Vegas lines in Week 5: Seven franchises won $500, and for the first time this season no team lost $500. Thus, the Power Rankings only shifted slightly this week, but the divisional races are heating up. And as the weeks pass, the wild card bets (sans Chris B. Corey) remain on the shelf. Who will pull the trigger first? Also, if last season was any guide, a week of feasting for the league usually was shortly followed by a week of famine.
Here are your updated power rankings:
Biggest rise: Teddy KGB: was 14, now 9; The Phoenix: was 19, now 14
Biggest drop: Boss Hardigan: was 3, now 6; Brian Piccolo: was 10, now 13; The 21th Precinct: was 12, now 15
(Last week’s rank; Current total)
1. The People’s Champ (1; $1,400)
His perfect season came to an end, but only lost $100. Don’t look now, but the league is nipping at his heels….
2. Gordon Bombay (2; $1.400)
Bombay continues to rise – could he take over in Week 5?
3. Kimmy Gibbler (5; $1,200)
I never thought I’d say this: Kimmy Gibbler is hot. Not the sitcom character, though. The Funny Money franchise. Another perfect week put her in prime position.
4. Thunder Lips (7; $1,000)
The much-talked about “system” works again. Four games bet, four wins. You don’t want to mess with the Thunder Lips right now.
5. Mr. Marbles (4; $800)
Hanging around, for now, but has to deal with both Bombay and Thunder in his division.
6. Boss Hardigan (3; $1,000)
Another week comes, another week goes with Hardigan making a slight increase. He’s still looking for momentum.
7. Karl Farbman (6; $700)
Keeps pace with Hardigan, but still hasn’t done much since a $500 Week 1.
8. Bayonnaise (8; $700)
The roller coaster ride continues – Bayonnaise wins $500 and gets back into the playoff picture.
9. Teddy KGB (14; $400)
Speaking of ups and downs, KGB rebounds from a few bad weeks to get back on the positive side of the chip count.
10. Waldo Geraldo Faldo (9; $400)
Don’t count him out in the West. Also, don’t eat his onion rings.
11. Blossom Russo (13; $200)
In my opinionation, the sun is gonna surely shine. Blossom takes over first in the East!
12. Babe (11; $200)
Oh Babe, you lead in the East is gone.
13. Brian Piccolo (10; $0)
After four weeks, he’s back to square one. Wild card time?
14. The Phoenix (19; -$200)
When he makes his bets on time, the Phoenix is hard to beat. But so far, he’s only done that half the time.
15. The 21th Precinct (12; $-200)
Falling behind out West.
16. Chris B. Corey (20; -$500)
Is Chris back? A $500 week has him inching back closer to even money. He needs another big week before any one else starts to notice him and his Prada handbag.
17. Mr. DeBlasis (15; $-400)
Went into his shell and bet a five-teamer. I smell a wild card bet in Week 5.
18. Bummy (16; -$600)
When the Phoenix passes you in the standings, you know you’re on the wrong track.
19. Rick Moranis (17; -$800)
Step by step, Moranis might be the most dangerous cellar dweller in the league.
20. The Beard of Zeus (18; -$1,000)
Has proven nothing so far this year, other than he needs to “lock it up.”
