Week 10 MVP Award Winner –
Captain Jack Sparrow (24 Points)
Captain Jack Sparrow became the first player to win three MVP Awards this season as he scored 24 Points to claim the Week 10 MVP. By doing so, he solidified his hold on 1st Place as the Black Pearl left all other competitors in its wake. Captain Jack told those behind him in the standings: “This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow.” After collecting his MVP Award, he added: “Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.” Captain Jack’s key pick was Houston over Jax in the first Game of the Week, a game that only four total club members picked correctly (including The Rickster, Nighthawk & Rad Dad). Captain Jack now holds a commanding 13 knot—I mean 13 Point—lead in the standings. The Week 10 MVP Award Runner-Up was shared by Hoosier Daddy & Rad Dad. Both players have been treading water near the bottom of the standings for most of the season, so it was good to see their really strong performances. A couple more solid weeks and they could potentially contend for a Top Ten finish this season. Hoosier Daddy was 1 of only 2 players in the entire club to correctly pick the difficult Triple Crown of NO-Balt-Chi (the other was Roadrunner). Rad Dad somehow figured out that Houston would beat Jax despite not having their starting QB playing. We also need to give a shoutout this week to three brilliant players: NYC Sewer Rat (who is giving the Treasures talk on JW stream this week), Bob Swerski, and My Wife Loves Jimmy G. All three players picked NYJ with Triple Jeopardy and scored 2 Bonus Points. They all sat back and laughed as nine players crashed and burned by picking Cleveland with TJ. The current Top Five consists of #1 Captain Jack Sparrow (3 Weeks at #1), #2 Captain Insano (13 Points back), #3 Drummer Boy (14 Points back), #4 Stinkerbell (17 Points back), and tied for #5 Fearless Tuna & Mr. T (18 Points back).
