Happy WK18 everyone. Aside from wishing you good fortunes inside Randy's Tri-Hard!, Mr. Fucking Randy also wishes you the best Valentine's you've ever had. Like I said in a previous post during last year's V, love is all you need, so cherish your fortunes and make (love) time for your loved ones.
Being who I am, I don't have loved ones; I have loved multiples. Over the festive weekend, I was dragged into a theatrical affair by a few honies, exchanging my dollar bills for a ticket to Fifty Shades of Grey. I am heavily involved with publishing (obviously), but my knowledge of this Fifty Shades Phenomenon was about as low as Tree Bone's love for seafood.
"... so, zero?" said Tree Bone.
Absolutely right. I normally don't like entering anything (or anyone) without doing some homework first, but I obliged in this particular situation as I haven't been surprised in quite some time. I thought it would be a welcoming experience. There's also something nice about seeing a movie for which you know absolutely nothing about; it keeps expectations low.
"You're an alpha male, and you love being dominant!" said one of my honies. "You'll love this movie! You're an Alpha Dominant!"
"You're Randy, Alpha Dominant. R.A.D.!" said another.
Alpha Dominant, eh? That got me thinking about Tri-Hard!, specifically the recent competitive uprisings. All select-GM's want the glory that is the title belt, but who will dominate the next few months and come away Champion? Let's have a look at this week's visuals, courtesy of the stats machine:
Same story, right? Sitch leads overall and in PPGP. But before we conclude that the other select-GM's have become submissive, my spidy-senses are telling me there's going to be an Alpha Dominant fight to the bitter end, spearheaded by the alpha males inside Tri-Hard!, as well as certain fortunes (or misfortunes, depending on who you are) developing inside the NHL.

| "Fuck that; I ain't no submissive!" screeched Burgundy. |
From a statistically speaking standpoint (extra nerd), the top performer over the last month has been Burgundy, NOT Sitch.
"... Just say it, and I'll start crunching," said Sitch, scathing.
Burgundy has accumulated 534.40 fantasy points in the last month (tops in Tri-Hard!), albeit he was only ahead by a handful of fantasy points over Sitch, who was next best. Dick Burns, who remains fourth in the League, didn't grab as many points over the month, but his PPGP efficiency has been improving, and now he has matched Burgundy's output; they both average 3.42 PPGP.
Sitch still has an overall PPGP of 3.70 and has maintained at least a 3.62 PPGP for nine consecutive weeks. But, Sir Fucking Randy smells smoke; with Tyler Seguin, Henrik Lundqvist and Frederik Andersen all out indefinitely, something tells me he might have trouble keeping that torrid pace. And, with Dick Burns and Burgundy showing increasing PPGP numbers, this fantasy pool may be getting a whole lot closer.
"That would be nice, but you know me, I'm all for the fun and the trades," said Dick Burns. "It's my hope that I'll get a few more trades nailed down before trade deadline."
"Let's talk, Dick," said Burgundy. "I want to crush this Asian-Crunch."
"Sounds sublime," replied Dick. "By the way, I wanted to ask you, Commissioner Randy: what did you think of the movie?"
I thought it was poor/fair, at best. I found myself becoming more interested/fascinated with the cultural phenomenon of Fifty Shades as opposed to the story itself. But, that's just me.
Until next time, gentlemen and lady,
- the Fucking Randy
