Suffice to say that owners are encouraged to find the list of scheduled games and send them to either the Commissioner or this blog. This is a real test of owner fortitude and commitment, but circumstances are dire.
Quick News. One week after owner (and points leader) Kevin attacked owner Marc (and just about every other owner, Marc came in first for the week with a 13-3 record. Marc's three losing picks were all heavy favorites (and picked by every other owner—the Jags, the Chargers, and the Eagles. Kevin tied the coin toss at 10-6. To be gracious, the Commissioner admits the possibility that Kevin was attempting to inspire other owners with his vituperative comments. The possibility is slim, but it is still there. Or it could be that Kevin is frustrated by the relative silence of other owners, except for cousin Wayne and the Commissioner. Owner Ed's silence is anticipated and accepted; few owners think he has anything to say anyway.
The Monday Night win by the Saints will result in a bonus for the four owners who picked them—Kevin, the Commissioner, Marc and Kate. This is the first time that owners significantly split on the Monday Night pick.
