Matt Tombasco built an autumn with real ballast. Toronto returned 94 inside an MLB card that finished 24th, Indiana produced another 94 in a 37th-place NCAAF effort, and NFL Survivor paid a tied 20th.
The late cards could not hold it. Only the Flyers cashed in hockey, leaving 64.19 and 195th place. Golf was colder still, 269.8 across the majors and 209th, while a tied 88th at the World Cup could not cover the damage.
The closing damage turned 1429 points into 72nd and erased 26 places. Tombasco's early work counted; the late cards counted more.
