Ok, better late than never. MLS returns to sanity this week, as winners outpace losers and we see strong earnings growth across the board. Our big mover is blue-chipper NoSix who closes up 363 to a record high of 918 and is once again number 1 in market cap. The NoSix Fund followed sound investment strategy such as respecting the global reach of KC while shorting CDC on the road. The race was hotly contested as 3 players finished within 3 points of second and 12 points of first. Second overall is soccertom, who bet in a similar fashion to NoSix but also used the phrase "dicknose", which may have been a factor. Third is guamster who respected KC and dissed CDC. (Tragically, he was just beaten out for Fat Bastard.) He's now just 100 points from div 1. At #4 Saeyddthe had a monster week as well, correctly observing that "not posting a clever quip before my picks" was the only thing holding him back. He continues to advance on the first division. MouseyTongue not only finishes in the top five, but also hops 3 spots to #4 and nails Play of the Week as well. Not a bad haul. Back in the top 10 this week is Northside Rovers, who is not going down without a fight despite missing a week while having no remaining safety bets. (Hopefully Jose L. Couso is just on a fishing trip or something.) Flashman, while just missing the top 5, still broke 300 and is now right on the border of the first division. Ok, don't forget the wednesday and friday games. Next week should see a return to regularly posted resuls as I am not travelling and my internet issues should be resolved one way or another. *FAQ and your remaining bets are available on the WPL status page.* ____________________________________________________________ Play Of The Week: MouseyTongue, for the bet of 111 on NER over DAL Weekly Cup: 1 NoSix 363.266 2 soccertom 354.45 3 guamster 352.284 4 Saeyddthe 351.758 5 MouseyTongue 329.498 Code: [b]Division 1[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 1 2 NoSix 918.36 363.27 869 1040 2 1 tab5g 828.04 154.45 1366 1227.5 3 3 jlo 774.57 227.31 1400 1342.75 4 7 MouseyTongue 677.24 329.50 1404 1448.25 5 4 dred 657.74 218.21 1106 1067 6 6 BulaJacket 629.60 238.11 1015 995.75 7 10 IASocFan 544.15 236.14 1086 1064 8 13 soccertom 517.04 354.45 1035 1113 9 11 Northside Rovers486.51 239.62 1371 1320.75 10 9 Revolt 395.81 80.41 899 722.5 11 14 equakesfan 378.43 228.20 1083 1075.25 12 15 Tactics 314.37 258.69 1311 1278.5 13 12 Greywacke 301.70 86.88 1260 1057.75 14 16 KCWiz 275.36 287.54 1228 1221.25 15 8 sljohn 251.76 -70.57 1295 912.5 16 17 Quango 194.76 221.60 1257 1192 17 19 BenC1357 102.18 267.21 995 1029.75 18 22 OGx3 55.42 274.43 874 908.5 19 18 Robert Lanza 5.90 127.54 687 624.75 20 20 bilfish -60.94 110.21 1146 968.5 [b]Division 2[/b] [b][i]Rank Prev Name Perf/yr Perf/wk Bet Won[/i][/b] 21 26 FlashMan -84.96 316.55 1209 1251.5 22 24 Qdog -142.40 187.31 1183 1100.75 23 28 guamster -168.27 352.28 1192 1321 24 5 Jose L.

This is brought to you by Take with a pinch of sodium chloride Who Is that masked man? Where is the stands? Somebody unplug the dam. I am the Pretty One. You are just a shunner. Monochromatic dater relates. Crevasse only to mate and relax. Persons fate is death from below. Will I steal the show? Can I afford another blow? Exponential belongings tells me to fold. Lets grow old and buy a Studebaker solo. With unbelievably melodramatics. Timeline fellow, on your mark... get set... go!
Well, you kind of messed me up there because I didn't know how well I'd done the week before... but just as I'd imagined, the system had indeed broke down. So, when it is broke, I do fix it!
Now, I got no fight... with any man who does what he's told. But when he don't, the machine breaks down. And when the machine breaks down, we all break down. And I ain't gonna allow that... in any of you. Not one. Ya'all feelin me on that?
