The teams are locked, so your failings will now be on your permanent record.
Helen was actually the 4th most popular pick in the league this season, so a lot of you are feeling the pain this week.

Pick-4 League
Congrats to Adam B, Morgoth, and The Ladder for tying atop the standings this week. One of my children is in 9th place, but that will soon end thanks to the loss of Helen. Also representing the commentariat in the top 20 this week: Dubious Rob, Muggle, It’s a Fucking Stick, forever1267, TheForRealDeal, Rogue Wall Enthusiast, and Ulong has to win eventually. Well done, commenters. You have brought pride to our family.
Champions League:
More like Stick to the Pain this week, am I right? STTP loses Helen, and has a long way to go to catch current leader Mike Hirsch. Mike went with the time honored strategy of picking players whose names rhyme, and it is paying off.
All the teams in the league have now scored at least one point, leaving Bassman xvi as the only person to ever pitch a shutout…on himself.

Other leagues
This week I want to highlight a league that named itself “The chicken nugget eating competition. Is that an annual event?” First of all, bravo on the name. But I don’t just shout out leagues here, I pick my pony. It’s currently a tight race, with only two points separating first and last place. I’ve decided to root for Ty here, both because Ty made the bold decision to pick 5 women and only 1 man and because Ty’s name is a lazy texter’s way of saying “thank you”. It’s like I’m being thanked for picking Ty, which is appropriate since it’s been established that I only back winners.
Anyway, if you’d like to have your own mini-league like those three, you can still do small draft leagues amongst yourselves. You can find the pages for those leagues here (there are multiple tabs for these, depending on the size of the group): PRP fantasy leagues.
