Let’s Take a Look Back and See How Right Teej and Kerry Were
During the dark days that preceded the 2039 USBA season the smooth audio sounds provided on the Fake Players Real Losers podcast at regular intervals were a beacon of hope. Their prognostication skills were only matched by their high quality audio levels. The struggling nation looked to these two men for answers, but were only left with more questions. Let’s dust off the record book, and take one last look back into the 2039 USBA season and see how our two podcasting heroes did with their preseason prognostications.
The Menard’s Third League
Projected | Actual | Kerry | TJ | |
Cleveland | 63 | 57 | Over | Under |
Mississippi | 59 | 64 | Over | Over |
Brooklyn | 58 | 52 | Over | Over |
DC | 58 | 53 | Under | Under |
Houston | 56 | 58 | Over | Over |
Toledo | 55 | 48 | Under | Under |
ACKC | 54 | 54 | Over | Under |
Echo Park | 54 | 61 | Over | Over |
Seattle | 54 | 63 | Under | Under |
Panama City | 52 | 42 | Under | Over |
KT | 50 | 54 | Under | Over |
Montana | 38 | 42 | Over | Over |
Kerry: 7-1-4
Teej: 8-1-4
It takes a Mendard’s Man™ to know the Menard’s League, and all that time that Teej has spent circling the drain at the bottom gave him a huge advantage in predicting the Third League. On top going 9-1-3 he also correctly predicted that Mississippi would take home the hardware and pull off a Buckhead Bounce™ back up to the Silver League. Kerry on the other hand broke about even after wiffing twice on Believeland.
The Silver League
Projected | Actual | Kerry | TJ | |
Buffalo | 71 | 73 | Over | Under |
St. Louis | 69 | 46 | Under | Over |
Buckhead | 64 | 50 | Under | Over |
Ft. Worth | 58 | 57 | Under | Under |
Charleston | 57 | 65 | Over | Over |
Oakland | 52 | 52 | Over | Over (Unicorn 72+) LOL |
San Mateo | 51 | 52 | Under | Under |
Nashville | 46 | 50 | Under | Under |
Long Island | 45 | 47 | Over | Over |
Thunder Bay | 28 | 49 | Over | Over |
Kerry: 7-1-2
Teej: 4-1-5
Back on his home turf, helped out by some insider info leaked from the Buckhead franchise, Kerry wiped the floor with Teej in the Silver League department. The biggest miss of the offseason was calling St. Louis for 70+ wins in a season that saw them fall through the trap door. Kerry also deserves extra kudos for correctly calling both promoted teams, but it should be noted that both gents correctly picked Buffalo to win it all. Also, huge LOLZ to Teeeeej who thought the Unicorn was going to play more than 72 games. Dude played 12. Ha.
The Premier League
Projected | Actual | Kerry | TJ | |
Hollywood | 67 | 70 | Under | Under |
New Orleans | 65 | 66 | Over | Under |
NOVA | 63 | 71 | Over | Over |
Chicago | 53 | 62 | Over | Over |
Greenville | 53 | 51 | Under | Over |
Portland | 51 | 55 | Over | Under |
Boston | 50 | 47 | Over | Over |
Vancouver | 48 | 46 | Over | Over |
Philly | 47 | 35 | Under | Under |
Las Vegas | 44 | 37 | Under | Over |
Kerry: 7-3
Teej: 3-7
Despite not having been in the Premier League since the Donald Trump Jr. administration, Kerry absolutely waxed TJ when it came to picking the leagues highest division. Not only did Kerry rout him 7-3 he ran up the score by picking eventual champion NOVA as well. Credit does go to the boys for somehow thinking that the Chicago Ghost Ships would put together a respectable season.
Final Score
Kerry: 21-2-9 and 2 of 3 champions
Teej: 15-2-16 and 1 of 3 champions
