What a week.
Only in a week like this can scoring 137 points leave you 49 points short. What a week.

What a week.
Only in a week like this--I HATE THIS MUTHAF**KIN WEEK!
But, once again, I digress...
Congratulations to all us real champions this week: the losers. For without us, there would be no winners.
