CHARLESTON AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. –
Dan "Wild Thing" Fling posted an amazing 11-2 record to claim the Week 8 crown. Fling bested the Swami, AKA the football genius, Jeffrey "Bucs Fan" Lucas and Gerald Amidon, who all finished with nice 10-3 records.
This week's "stink out loud" award is shared by both the Lions and Bengals who have not yet been able to notch a win thus far. The Swami thinks they should change their name to the Possums because they play dead at home and get killed in the road!
Okay, the Cowboys won and the Steelers lost ... who said the Swami doesn't deliver fair and balanced news?
There has been plenty of movement in the top ten after eight weeks and the race is now so tight that there is a four-way tie for the lead! Here is how the numbers stack up:
1. The Swami .684
1. Brian Sommerfeldt .684
1. Jeffrey Lucas .684
1. Dan Fling .684
5. Bob Trout .649
6. Jeremy Shockley .643
7. Mindy McCormick .640
8. Gerald Amidon .634
9. Dave Linquist .633
10. Ronald Desautels .632
