So I didn’t post our weekly results under the “Cold Hard Fails” name last week. This was mainly due to the fact that Matty D went 9-3 and I went 8-4, but as Matt told me, there were still failures. Nothing but perfection is acceptable in the Thunderdome, no exceptions.
Coming into the week, this is how we stood:
Matty D: 26-12
G-Man: 24-14
Matty D leads the Weekly Battles: 2-0-1
WEEK TEN:

Well this week really lived up to the “Cold Hard Fails” name. And now I’m four games back, eh huh huh huh. At least I moved back into first this week in Fantasy. Next week will better, both for our picks (featuring a new Picker…) AND there are some great games to be played. You’ll hear all about for Matty D on Thursday for Week 11’s Cold Hard Locks.
