FTL

The Fantasy Theater League is gaining momentum as it moves from Week 3 into week 4.

There were some close match-ups but “The Mouse that Roared” ultimately won the week with an absurd last minute increase in votes causing @SidSolomon on twitter to note: “@SidSolomon Two observations about this week's #MNPLFTL. 1. Taking it seriously doesn't get you far. 2. I suspect serious malfeasance... #MNPL”

You can go make a team for week 4: Go!
