Cale S. has never won this thing and 2013 is the year he should have. The Caleboys went 12-2, scored 1,609 points to lead the league, and beat Dave St.'s Washed UP twice in the regular season, once by a single point in week six and once by 18 in week fourteen with the playoffs already in view. Washed UP were 9-5 and second on points, and what they had was Drew Brees in the form of his life: 159 points across the first six weeks, 138 more across weeks eight to twelve, the roster's leading scorer in eight weeks of sixteen.
The final ran to Monday and changed hands twice. Washed UP led by a single point after the one o'clock window, on the back of DeMarco Murray's 23 and Pierre Garcon's 20, then lost it by thirty in the afternoon. Peyton Manning went for 36 for the Caleboys. LeSean McCoy closed for Washed UP with 28. 132 to 120, and the third final Cale S. has lost. His 1,609.2 that season was the biggest regular-season total anyone had managed to that point bar one, and the one was The Bus the year before at 1,609.3, a tenth of a point clear.
Week 16. Lineup order is points scored in the final. Both scales are capped at the 90th percentile of this game, PAR 14 and points 30.7, and shared across all eighteen ribbons: never normalised per row.
