Week 4 Update

Some highlights as we pass the quarter pole.

Season Points Records Are Going Down

If this pace keeps up, all the season points records are going down. We haven't hit the bye weeks in earnest yet, and defenses may be starting to overcome the truncated preseason, but the numbers we're seeing so far are ridiculous.

Scott's untouchable Montoya record 2059 points in '06 is suddenly touchable, with Dan on pace to break it by 100. Both Steve and Nalu are on pace to eclipse Jason's Dufresne record 1808 points in '07, while Jason is well ahead of pace to break Dean's Markinson record 1794 points in '07. Hubert is on pace as well.

Multiple managers have a shot at Jason's 3,479 total points in '07, most notably... Jason.

Even the teams in last place are averaging at least 107 ppg.

Dan Dominating Starling

Of the 12 original managers still in the league, Dan is the only one who has yet to qualify for Markinson, but he's ready to put that footnote to rest. He leads Montoya and the Starling race by 71 points and is on pace for the highest scoring season ever.

Two-Horse Race in Markinson?

Hubert is a notoriously slow starter in Markinson who regularly dominates the second half of the season, only to come up just short in the title race. So it's scary to see him jump out to a 4-0 start. But Jason is the one with the 3 Heinekens in 4 weeks (Hubert has the other).

Newby Uprising

Steve, Nalu, and Vineet, aka the Three Newbies, are tied atop the Dufresne standings at 3-1. Nalu already has 2 Heinekens. Vineet looks like a lucky winner so far, but the bottom line is wins and losses. As is typical of Dean's luck, he had the 2nd-highest point total last week and lost, while Vineet had the 2nd-lowest total and won.

Byes are starting, so keep an eye on your lineups!
