Week 4 Recap

Week 4 is in the bags.  Phat Girlz, TakingTigerMountain, and AEthernauts start the season 4-0 and are clearly the teams to beat.  These three are yet to face each other obviously and they still won't in Week 5, so someone needs to step up or these three catz will just runaway into playoffs.  The talk of the town is not who's winning, however.  It's who's not.  Trichotillomaniacs and Pelican Brief start the season 0-4.  Last year, only one 7-6 team made the playoffs (Trix), and to get there the Far East Rulaz and the Grishamites need to finish the rest of regular season 7-2.  Of course, SanFranciscoFerries went 9-0 last year after an 0-4 start, but that's tall orders for this year's winless ones as they both have a game each left against all three of the undefeateds. We are only a little over two month away from 2014 playoffs with 2014 season in full-bloom. 

Return to Sender

For the second time in three weeks, picking Houston's JJ Watt would have won the prize for Casino Gulag, when the freakish athlete had a pic-6 for 80 ydz.  Other notable returns-for-distances include Jordan Todman (174!!! ydz), Latavius Murray (112 ydz), Darren Sproles (86 ydz), Cordarrelle Patterson (86 ydz) and CJ Spiller (82 ydz).  In the end, the PSAS Return to Sender crown goes to the King of Returners, Devin Hester for 78 ydz. 

Future: Jarvis Landry, 9 ydz

TTM: Solomon Patton, 74 ydz

Trix: Devin Hester, 78 ydz

Nauts: Andre Roberts, 33 ydz

BDT: Tedd Ginn Jr, DNP-Bye

Trichotillomaniacs will be awarded the 15+5 bankerbitez prize (thanks Hermodorus for bid submission).

Stock Market

The market saw little activity this week, and the little we saw were played fairly conservatively.  For the past few years, the market trend has been to short-sell Shock, and while their stock showed slight resistance last week, the two-year moving average gulped them up again in Week 4.  Colonel Mustard and the winners that invested in Dijon are the beneficiaries, though Trix loss (again) prevented bigger market gains.  All three 3-0 teams won so 4-0 was a hit but no one bought the attractive derivative that would have paid 40 bbz for three favorites to all win.  The elusive derivative that is Celebrity Jeopardy failed again, and with the Future and Trix bound to face each other it'll make it five weeks of miss. 

Celebrity Jeopardy: Future and Trix both lost

4-0: TTM, Girlz and Nauts all won
