Pain Index: A Three-Way Tie for Misery

Ranking the week''s suffering, objectively.

By Eddie Endzone · Week 2, 2026

George is the runaway winner. 156.2 points, the second-highest score of the week, and an 0-2 record. Only three teams in league history have scored 155 or more and lost. He is now one of them.

Mike is second, though his case is self-inflicted and therefore attracts less sympathy and more laughter.

Trey is third. Six-tenths of a point. Two losses by a combined 13.2. He has done nothing wrong and has nothing to show for it.
