Weekly Recap
Sean buys the boardroom. Larry gets escorted out of the stable.
Sean Laird beat Pavel Kogan 150.76 to 64.33, turning a scheduled meeting into a hostile takeover. Kenneth Walker III delivered 34.30 points, the best performance by any starter this week. Sean takes Chairman of the Board and Statement Win with an 86.43 point margin. Pavel takes his fifth straight loss and a cardboard box for his desk.
Larry Noel scored 45.08 in an 87.54 to 45.08 loss to Alex Buell. That is the lowest team score in the verified 2026 regular season archive through Week 9. Alex did not need a thoroughbred performance. He just needed his opponent to stop eating the quarterly report. Buell has now won three straight, while Larry takes a seat in the Red Ink Department.
Tom Burkett survived Stephen Spencer 68.91 to 66.48 in the Photo Finish matchup. The 2.43 point margin counts exactly the same in the standings as Sean’s demolition, which is excellent news for Tom and a strong argument against merit based compensation. Stephen has now lost three straight.
Chad Van Horn beat Rob Lazerson 106.65 to 100.76 and moved to 7 wins and 2 losses. Rob posted the highest losing score of the week, earning Wrong Boardroom. He would have beaten eight of the eleven other teams. Unfortunately, the calendar booked him with one of the three who scored more.
Evan Seacat handled Mike Aguanno 115.53 to 71.97, and Chris Scurry beat Jack Decker 95.37 to 60.76. Evan joins Sean, Rob and Mike at 6 wins and 3 losses. Scurry, Stephen and Alex sit at 5 wins and 4 losses. These records describe the standings through Week 9. Current playoff tiebreakers use record against the weekly median, then total points.
Sean also owns Bench Chairman: Jordan Love scored 36.93 from the bench. Leaving the week’s best bench performance unused and still winning by 86.43 is the fantasy equivalent of forgetting a briefcase full of cash at home and paying for the whole stable anyway. All seven awards use the archived Sleeper scores.
