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.
