Football built Mark Barenbaum a substantial cushion. NFL Survivor produced a share of 20th, the CFP reached 37th and a Seattle futures sweep put the NFL Playoffs card in a tie for 12th.
The other postseasons could not protect it. Baseball tied for 179th, hockey finished 187th and four golf cards totaling 280.2 sank to 205th. The fairways alone cost him most of the late ground.
After falling 37 places, Barenbaum sat 127th on 1264.5 points. His football winter still reads like high-end work; the final standing records what happened when that cushion met the fairways.
