The Top Ten: Week 5

Commentary: Most of the favorites covered in Week 4, and as a result a lot of teams benefited with perfect weeks. Overall leader Larisa Oleynik took a tumble in the standings, as did Kimmy Gibbler, who lost her wild card bet on the hapless Tennessee Titans. One wild card bet down, 27 to go. As we reach the quarter pole in the season, just about every team is within reasonable striking distance. No one is breaking away and no one is falling too far back.

(current total; last week’s ranking)

1. Rick Moranis ($1,600; 2)
Another week comes and goes, and another perfect week for Rick Moranis. Insiders have discovered his good luck ritual – cursing at restaurant hostesses each weekend.

2. T-Ferg ($1,200; 3)
T-Ferg stayed somewhat close to Moranis in the West, but he also broke his finger dancing this weekend. Read that again. He doesn’t have the staying power to remain at the top and might only be this high in the Top Ten for a few more weeks.

3. Babe ($1,000; 4)
Won $500. Made himself a chocolate milkshake to celebrate.

4. Larisa Oleynik ($800; 1)
The world came crashing down for Larisa in Week 4. 0-3 on bets and all of the sudden only holds a slim lead over a few others in the East.

5. Don Mattingly ($1,200; 6)
Donnie Baseball won $500 this week, but remained behind Moranis in the West.

6. Slovy Maximus ($800; 5)
Continuing to hedge his bets, Slovy won three and lost one this week. Conservative betting will get him to the top of the division but won’t get him up the ladder in the Top Ten.

7. Karl Farbman ($800; 7)
Finally a perfect week for Karl, but he remains among the crowd in the North division.

8. Mr. Marbles ($800; 10)
Add Marbles to the list of teams at $800. This is a make or break week for many; it will separate the contenders from the pretenders.

9. Boss Hardigan ($600; NR)
Hardigan can smell the lead in the East, but still is playing second fiddle in the Funny Money to his own brother.

10. Art Schlichter ($600; NR)
Art is back into the rankings with a $500 week.

OTHERS RECEIVING VOTES: Teddy KGB; The Beard of Zeus; Bummy.

DROPPED OUT: The People’s Champ; Mr. DeBlasis.
