Each week, Cooterdoodle will be breaking down all the pain and punishment that transpires in our very own BWW Punishment Eliminator League.

18 will enter, but 17 will leave with their tails between their legs as they are forced to face a season-ending punishment.

BWW Punishment Eliminator League

We’re moving on to Week 5, but wait! The punishment gods have spoken! Today we’ll have a full recap of:

• The Rich Get Richer
• The Carnage: Week 4 Results
• Week 4’s Proof of Punishment (PP)
• On to Week 5: Spaghetti Policy

If you’re new here, be sure to read a full breakdown of our 18-team best ball elimination league and last week’s recap.

But the rules are fairly simple: SURVIVE or face the consequences (read: the Punishment Generator).

The Rich Get Richer

Everyone expects to have a bad turnout at some point during the fantasy football season. To expect huge outings and consistency is always the pipe dream, but that's rarely realized when we get down to it and watch the games actually unfold.

But now that we’ve got four weeks in the books, it seems that some players are truly becoming reliable league-winners, especially in best ball formats.

This isn’t to say that these players outperform every single week, but we at least don’t have to worry about goose eggs. In fact, these players have been consistently producing 20, 30, and even 40-point performances. If you roster any of the below, you know exactly what I mean:

• Christian McCaffrey
• Puka Nacua
• Cowboys DST
• Josh Allen

I’m not sure how your specific leagues are shaking out, but it’s becoming concerningly clear that the teams who had strong starters in Weeks 1-3 also stashed guys like D.J. Moore, Anthony Richardson, and Isiah Pacheco.

This is bullsh*t. How are we supposed to compete if the rich keep getting richer? Note to self: Next year, draft smarter.

But enough whining, let’s talk about who isn’t winning.

Week 4 Results

The girls continue to prevail, as our fourth elimination is another Fantasy Life Dude. The FLD’s are starting to shake in their boots…probably.

But honestly, I couldn’t care less about the order in which these eliminations happen as long as I’m not the one saying “goodbye”. That’s right, I’m still hanging on!

Here are the Week 4 results with some added context to highlight our weekly risers and fallers.

Ohhhh baby. 18 cut down to 14 in just a matter of weeks. We’re almost approaching normal league size territory here.

But with each elimination also comes fewer bodies to take a bullet for me. So yea, I guess you could say I’m a little nervous. But we persevere!

For now, 14 of us have dodged elimination. And because of that, we’re exempt from a spicy punishment. But of course, someone does have to pay the price.

They always pay.

A Great Day to be Gr-Eliminated

Alexa: play Better Man by Taylor Swift because if Ian wanted to stick around, he should’ve drafted better, man.

But as a third-party observer with absolutely no personal interest in the matter: better you than me!

And as we know, the dreaded eliminator is waiting in the (Buffalo Wild) wings to come for us all…

Proof of Punishment (PP)

It’s finally time for what you’ve all been waiting for. The big PP reveal. 

The Punishment Generator results were rolled out prior to Week 4 and revealed that the loser would have to sneak the word “MEOW” into daily conversations. But for the sake of content creation and hitting Ian Hartitz where it hurts the most, he needed to tweet the kitty call out to his 150k followers.

Ian was allowed creative freedom as long as he included the word in several tweets. Let’s see meow he did it:

(Proof of Punishment video coming soon…)

We’re sorry to see Ian go. But we march on!

Nitty Gritty Breakdown:

• Teams remaining: 14
• Teams eliminated: Marcas, Freedman, Jonathan, & Ian
• Punishment on Deck: Spaghetti Policy

With Ian's elimination, we’re on to a new beginning. And unfortunately, we're faced with another few days of sweating it out while we await the fresh agony of the upcoming Week 5 results.

On to Week 5

I don’t want to brag or anything, but this week’s punishment idea was generated by yours truly. As a fan of the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I couldn’t let the season go by without a little inspiration from The Gang.

If you haven’t seen Always Sunny, you’ve got seven days to binge, or you can skip ahead to Season 6, Episode 10. More on that in just a minute…

As for the survivors: One more down. 14 eliminations to go.

How punishments are decided:

• Generate a random punishment with our Punishment Generator
• Announce the punishment to the league prior to kickoff
• Boot the loser from the league once the games have concluded
• Collect Proof of Punishment (PP)
• Expose everything on FantasyLife.com

We won’t know who has to pay the price until all the Week 5 games conclude on Monday night, but we do know that someone is going to have to get some spaghetti ready because the Punishment Generator has spoken.

Drumroll, please…

That’s right, the team with the lowest score in Week 5 will have to pack some spaghetti into a Ziploc bag, go to the movie theater, and ask the workers about their spaghetti policy. And of course they’ll have to video record the entire thing. #SendNoods

Stay tuned for an update next week after the loser submits their Proof of Punishment (PP), and we kick them from the league.

If this sounds like a fun league format to you sickos, you don't have to feel left out. You can make your own punishment eliminator league!

Don't be shy, it's easy to create some fun (maybe not so fun for the loser) punishments. Whether it’s an end-of-season last-place punishment or a weekly side bet, we’ve got you covered. Just input your settings, generate, and let fate decide!
