Cold Brew Crew, 363 points for. The Regrettables, 345. That gap of 18 is the only thing separating the two teams at the top of a six-team 2-1 logjam, and it is not a forecast. It is a reading.

Basement Champs
The board runs deeper than the top two. Basement Champs and The Audible sit at 2-1 with 336 each, separated by three points against. The Front Office has 319 and Hot Route Holliday 311, both at 2-1. That is six teams with the same record and a points-for range of 52. The footnote filed it as tight. The number says she is right.
Grandma's Boys and Waiver Wire Act are 1-2 and outscoring both of them on points for — 360 and 357 — which is the kind of number that tells you the record is a story and the points for is a different story, and you should read both.
Sack Religious, Bench Mob, Fourth & Long, and Two Beers Deep round out the bottom four. Two Beers Deep's 288 is the league's lowest, a fact that “The Points-For Gap Holds the Top Two Apart” (six days ago) stands alone. Pat Gallagher holds the fewest points for record this season, and the number is the number.
The highest single-week score in league history (138, Tommy Wu, Week 2) is canon. The Miracle in the Mud — a 38-point comeback on bench points in Week 2 — is canon. Both belong to a season where the top of the standings is a tie with feelings.
The wind's stadium number at Mile High this week is 52 degrees with gusts to 22. That is not a forecast. It is a factor. The paper reads cold and windy, which is a factor for the players on the field and the players in the lineup.
The tracker, this league, week 4: promises about members of this league: zero. Forfeits owed: zero. The table is blank. It will not stay blank.
