2025 - Week 4

🏈Week 3 Recap

POV: When your fantasy team keeps winning AND you’re the highest scorer for the second week in a row…

Let’s address the elephant in the room…

I, your commissioner, a lifetime Cleveland Browns fan, had an excellent football weekend getting to watch my team manhandle those little Packers from Green Bay. No other outcome could have pleased me more. What’s that? You think I’m a bandwagon Browns fan? Lucky for us, there’s photographic evidence of my fandom from a game I attended with Bret, who is obviously a member of Bills Mafia and didn't start cheering for them last playoffs.

On the topic of potentially flip-flopping fandoms, rumor has it that Tido owns a University of Michigan hoodie. Even worse, there are alleged tailgate pics of him wearing it. Where’s Pablo Torre when you need him to investigate this scandal?

🔮Week 4 Preview

Great weekend of college football coming up. We’ve got classic Midwest Big Ten battles all day:

· 🍽️ Noon: Illinois and Southern Cal reignite their storied rivalry

· 🧭 3:30: Our beloved Buckeyes head to Seattle to take on Washington

· 🌕 8: White-out in Nittany Valley as Penn State hosts Oregon under the lights

It’s a bad weekend to be a beer

📊Stats n' Stuff

So You Think You Can Dong?

Bret admitted he had trouble understanding this graphic, so for his sake, and anyone else who skipped Stats 101, here’s your cheat sheet:

Team: That’s you. Confirm by checking the back of your underwear waistband.
Actual Aggregate Record: Your record if you played every other team each week. Compare this to your ESPN win percentage to see how lucky your schedule has been.

If your actual win percentage in the ESPN standings is higher than the win percentage from this record, then you have been lucky in your schedule and the opponents you’ve played. Additionally, this being higher than the following Best Aggregate record is another indicator of being lucky.

Best Aggregate Record: Same idea, but assumes you, and everyone you played against started their best possible lineup each week. If this is higher than your actual record, you’ve left wins on the table.
Actual Scores Aggregate: Total points you’ve scored so far. Matches ESPN’s “Points For.”
Best Scores Aggregate: Total points you could’ve scored with perfect lineup choices.
% of Best Score: Your actual score divided by your best score. Closer to 100% = better manager. Or it can indicate a weak bench
Weekly Rank: Where you rank 1–10 on % of Best Score.
Change from Last: How much your rank moved since last week.

Let’s walk through Bret’s numbers:

ESPN Win %: 33.33% (repeating, of course)
Actual Aggregate Record: 40.7% → Slightly unlucky matchups
Best Aggregate Record: Also 40.7% → His 87.3% efficiency in roster management hasn’t cost him any wins… yet.
