Sitch and Safari gain ground; Burgs still holding No. 1
I received this text from the Ronald a few nights ago:
"... I expect the point race to get much closer, not due to performance shift, but I'm benching more so as to not max out players soon, being more selective to get most bang for buck (hopefully)." - Ron Burgundy, 03/06/2013
Looks like his hunch was on the money, albeit his reasoning was slightly off. Nonetheless, kudos to him for making the call.
Last night's efforts belonged to Sitch and Safari, who accumulated 48.55pts and 53.00pts, respectively, and thus closed in greatly on Burgundy. Burgundy still leads the standings overall, but the lead has been cut to fewer than 20.00pts.

| "Honey, what's that coming up behind us?!" |
"I called this already," said Burgundy. "But my mustache-rich lips are not trembling yet. I'm still leading this bitch-tastic Redemption; if it ended today I would be the winner."
 |
| "I'm cummin' for yas." |
"I'm cummin' for yas," replied Safari, in an official team statement issued earlier this morning.
 |
| "I'm cummin'." |
"I'm cummin'," said AznSitch.
It goes without saying that this weekend's games appear to be the most important yet. With the season just over the halfway mark, the Redemption could be won by almost anyone. Will we have a new leader by the end of the week?
"No," said Burgundy. "I guarantee (looks down at PromptApp)... IT!"
Wise words, dick.

You boys think I'm scared of your little recent point surge?
ReplyDeleteListen, you're all fine competitors and respectable gentlemen but let's get a few things clear:
1st off: I predicted this way ahead of time. I should book some TV time late at night and take some calls as a damn psychic -- but I can't you know as I need 11 hours of sleep nightly to maintain my dashing good looks.
But seriously, I left so many points on the table this past week from purposefully benching players that if Sitch saw them he would ejaculate on the spot if he wasn't consciously preserving his protein for his work outs.
2nd of all: Safari is an animal, but he has around 8 games on me, so his proximity to my total is a bit artificial at the moment, although if goalies keep brick walling it like their Hasek in Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98 then maybe I'll take more notice
Finally, as for Sitch? What can I say, I'm not even mad, I'm impressed. His players are hot right now, so this is simply the ebbs and flows of the game. Old Burgundy still has a couple of ideas so this should make for an exciting latter half of the season.
Stay classy,
Ron Burgundy
Backhanded slaps followed by forehand pats on the back. Ever the politician you are, Burgundy.
