Seth Locks Up Week 4 Victory

In a battle of sophomore owners, Seth prevails over Ravi, 396 to 379.

Seth‘s winning lineup featured Allen, Barkley, Jacobs, Penny, J. Williams, Kupp, Doubs, Kelce and Bass.

Ravi earned second place thanks to a team led by G. Smith, Goff, Chubb, Hall, Penny, Kelce, Gay and the Cowboys D.

This is Seth’s first weekly win in 22 weeks in the league, and Ravi‘s first payday in one and a quarter seasons. Congrats to Seth and Ravi on their strong showings in Week 4.

The Rookie Report:
Two of our rookie owners had their best showings to date, as Kraig (328) and Austin (304) both finished in the weekly top 10 for the first time. Kraig‘s Dallas Cowboys also improved to 3-1 on the young season.


The Leaderboard:
Week 4 features the debut of the overall standings.

For the uninitiated, we toss out your highest and two lowest scores of the year, and count all the rest.

Former league champion CraigS debuts at the top of the heap.

1. CraigS (357)
2. Seth (350)
3. Brenda (343)
4. Heather (330)
5. Jack (327)
6. Nigel (316)
7. David (310)
Ravi (307) and a quartet of owners with 303 (Mr. Eames, JohnK, Kerry and JamesH) round out a super-sized top 10.

It’s particularly fitting that CraigS should be on top this week. As some of you know, Craig wrapped up a spectacular career in the restaurant business on Friday, and is starting the month of October as a newly minted retiree. Congratulations Craig! Here’s to one of the all-time good guys. Enjoy this next chapter in your life.
