Thanks for the outpouring of congratulations! (if you're not in Naples you can stop reading here.) It was a hard fought battle but when you're this good... well I mean come on, I'm making this look easy. To the playoffs, try to keep up if you can. (I mean 4th place? WEAK.)
The Champ X2

The Champ is the Champ!
It is clear that overall 2011 Champion Patrick will be the regular season champion for 2012. After the early games today, both Patrick and Cousin Wayne have two losses. Because Patrick was ahead by one point and they have identical picks on the late games, Patrick will inevitably win the season by one point.
All of the late game picks are virtually identical, so no one else can make any in-roads either.
Congratulations Patrick!! Our 2012 Season Champion!

The block continues. League office please note the semi-retraction issued by owner Cuz Omaha concerning his point total. The slant on this though is that he is still looking for others to take partial blame for his "new" math. Aunt Millie would not be happy! Where in the world is Matt Lauer and Ct. Kirk. A second half swoon(or more like a leap) has him on the football cliff. Brandy can still win if everyone else forgets to pick all of the playoff games. She has been uncustomarily quiet this season. Patrick will choke as usual so the road to the title is wide open. Please read the playoff rules carefully(except for Ed). The Commish tends to insert things just to see if we are paying attention. It is part of his critical thinking background. Very annoying. Di, thanks for the pics of Uncanoonic. Awesome.

Ah, yes, now I see the mistake. I counted the "X's" and saw only one more than Patrick, so couldn't understand the tally.
So, yes, I did pick the Jets (what the hell was I thinking?) and so I do trail the kid by a point.
Thanks to our honorable Commish for straightening this out, although I'm sure he's still full of eggnog.

Week 16 Observations
1. The Champ has overtaken the Cuz by one point. 166 to 165. Lurking 3 points away is the Commish with 163, followed by Kirk with 161, Kevin 160, Kate 158, and newcomer Marc with 157.
2. The Champ is in good position to be the first member to win both the regular season crown and the playoff and Superbowl. He could do all of that in a single season as well.
3. Connecticut Kirk has run into some bad luck recently. After consistently challenging each week, he has seen his average dip the past few weeks. Last week's 8-8 really checked his progress. He is still solidly in contention, however.
4. Son Luke called a few weeks ago and said he saw the stat sheets for the first time and pronounced himself surprised by his low scores. Sine then he has been 11-5, 12-4 and 12-4. When asked how he came to improve he said, "I thought about it more." Solid reasoning, I have no doubt.
5. Pick of the Week goes to Diane for her solitary pick of the Vikings over the Texans. Reverse Pick of the week goes to Kirk for his pick of the Cardinals over the Bears, and Diane for pick of the Eagles over the Redskins and the Chiefs over the Colts.
6. Unanimous choices did very well. The Falcons, the Panthers, the Pats, the Packers, and the Broncos all won.

Never Too Much Christmas Cheer...
The Cuz put forth some fuzzy math of his own. He wrote: "Patrick was 12-4, whilst I was 10-5. Since we both picked 16 games, and I clearly picked 11 correctly, I am asking that the commish put down the bottle immediately and correct the standings."
A look at the stat sheet suggests that he didn't supply a pick for the Chargers-Jets game and therefore he wasn't 11-5, but rather 10-5-1, the one being a no pick. Under review, the Cuz did make a pick for the Chargers-Jets game. Unfortunately, it was the Jets, so he is left with a 10-6 week and remains one behind The Champ.
By the way, because the Cuz picks out of synch with the schedule as presented on the blog mistakes are more prevalent. It is much easier for the central office if members pick from the blog's schedule, as the vast majority of members do.

fuzzy math, too much Christmas cheer???
Hmmm, I suspect our honorable commissioner has been into the eggnog just a wee bit too much this holiday season.
I couldn't figure out how the defending champ, Patrick, could gain two points on me when he lost just one less game than I did.
Then I did the match. Patrick was 12-4, whilst I was 10-5. Since we both picked 16 games, and I clearly picked 11 correctly, I am asking that the commish put down the bottle immediately and correct the standings.
It appears the kid and I are racing towards the finish line in a dead heat!

Angie was transferred to the Madonna Rehabilitation Facility in Lincoln, NE yesterday. After she is strong enough to withstand surgery, the doctors will remove her right adrenal gland, which has a tumor and considered the cause of her sudden extreme high blood pressure and heart attack. The doctors are controlling the blood pressure with medication.
The surgery is expected to take place in 4 to 8 weeks, but knowing Angie and how fast she has recovered, I suspect it will be closer to 4 weeks. She'll wear out those physical therapists whipping them into as good shape as she is.

The Commissioner's Observations, Week 14
1. Cuz Wayne finally overtook Connecticut Kirk, edging him out 143 to 142. It seems appropriate that the deciding pick was Kirk's pick against the Patriots on Monday night. They were tied going into that game. Pick against the Pats at your own peril.
2. In a show of good sportsmanship, Kirk called to suggest that Wayne be given the same picks as him so that, if Wayne should miss the week's picks because of Angie's situation, that Wayne wouldn't fall out of the race, Good show Kirk.
3. The Champ and the Commish took a tie for third place at 141. Kevin fell to 138.
4. Pick of the Week goes to Luke with his pick of the Chargers over the Steelers. Hard to believe that game.
5. Unanimous Picks did well. The Broncos, the Browns, and the Seahawks all won, while the Falcons lost.

Greetings from Omaha
My Thursday Night pick:
Cincy over Philly
And now for an update:
Today, Tuesday, 12-12-12, was a banner day! They did an echo-gram (or whatever they call it) on Angie early this morning, and... HER HEART WAS BEATING NORMAL!!!
They took her down into surgery around 11 AM, and removed a tube inserted into her right groin area, repaired the artery, removed her from life support and brought her back to her room. She remained heavily sedated all day, but she is on the road to recovery!
They still don't know what caused the heart failure. They were thinking it was a virus, but now they aren't so sure. They said with a virus, it would be very unlikely she would recover her heart function so quickly.
They will be doing a lot of testing from her head to her toes trying to find out the cause.
Angie is still having an issue with blood pressure; it wants to jump up radically, but they are now controlling that with medication. In previous testing they noticed "something unusual" about one of her adrenal glands, perhaps a small mass, possibly a tumor. They are doing another kind of test in the morning that should give a better picture of it.
But I am cautiously confident the most critical issue, the heart, has been resolved. As far as I'm concerned, the doctors will eventually determine the cause, treat it, remove it, medicate it, whatever, and hand us back our beautiful daughter.
We will keep you updated as much as we can.
Love you all, and thanks to everyone for your prayers and best wishes.
Love,
Cousin/Uncle Wayne

SEAN AND KYE RUN THE TABLE, A PERFECT 14-0
Sean and Kyle have posted a record 14-0, the first time a league member has been perfect on his picks. Sean attributes his success to "clean living, family support, and, of coure, the Commissioner's close guidance." He said he made his picks quickly this week, and that Kyle has been taking a larger role in the process. "We don't disagree on many picks, although he has more faith in Kansas City than I do."
Congratulations Sean and Kyle for your record picks.

Political?
The Commish has gone soft again. Political admonishment from a left wing liberal arms-bearing minority handshaking democrat! As a protest, all women in the pool should drop out. Didn't Cuz and Obama both live in Illinois? Cuz, make sure when you are tracking comments from your favorite cousin that you have your glasses on and try to remember where you keep those notes. Fines should be levied for inpersonating a pool owner. The no SAC needs to meet to determine just what cuz is saying. Wait a minute, I think Patrick is out of his PJs and Kirk just picked again with his eyes closed. Brandy is still thinking of some way to work the points so she is in first place. Uncle Ed just made the list of endangered species. The ghost of Sibley Terrace. SeanO is letting Kyle take over the everyday operations of picking the winners. Kyle is 7 months old. Kate is hanging tough but she needs to look up the word "fade". She will find a picture of Luke there.

The Commissioner Cautions Against Politics
The Commissioner has noted and is monitoring the discussion between cousin Wayne and brother Kevin. And, while all communications is encouraged, a bit of a sharper edge seems to have been cutting into their rhetoric. And now, Kevin has stepped over into the heavily dangerous and potentially nuclear topic of politics. When Kevin cites Wayne's "Obama move" as proof of his mental instability, the Commissioner must respond. Such direct and heinous introduction of politics is not only forbidden but also punishable by penalties of 10, 20 and 30 points on each transgression and expulsion for the season on the fourth incident.
Remember, allinsults comments are to be about sports and/or family.

high road?
Cuz,
This exhausting tirade born out of your inability to control extreme whinyness leaves me speechless(almost). The key word seems to be "elderly" not "active". This rambling effort citing the by-laws leads one to believe that cuz may not be of sound mind to continue as a charter owner. Maybe it is just the Omaha move. We'll give him some time.

Brat Attacks
Dear Honorable Commissioner:
For three years now I have chosen to take the high road and not respond to the brat cousin's continuous and uncalled-for attacks on me.
How does it go - "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Even though I'm qualified to cast that stone, I have refrained from doing so, yet his unwarranted attacks continue.
If it doesn't stop, I will have to call for a special meeting of the leadership council, to seek disciplinary action against the brat cousin for his despicable behavior as provided for under Rule 1, Section A, Paragraph (a) on Page 1 of the league bylaws: "Team owners will at all times display good sportsmanship and not engage in malicious and unwarranted attacks against the good name of fellow owners."
Paragraph (b) states:
"Violators of this rule shall be called to appear before a three-person disciplinary panel consisting of the Commissioner, the eldest active (emphasis on 'active')league owner, and a third person to be selected by the aforementioned two panel members."
And as you well know, Honorable Commissioner, discipline can include a censure and deduction of (up to) 25 points in the standings; a fine not to exceed $5,000; or even banishment from the league.
I sincerely hope it doesn't come to such drastic steps, and that the brat cousin will seek counseling to address his temper tantrums, anger issues, and other undesirable traits.
As the eldest 'active' member of the league, I will make myself available to assist you in conducting a fair and impartial hearing and determining appropriate discipline. Oh, and I will, of course, be available to give testimony as a witness.
By the way, thank you, Honorable Commissioner, for sending me a copy of the league bylaws.
Respectfully

CT
This smugness coming out of CT resembles Cuz Wayne's first season. The whining is about the same but the brashness is close to a record level of bull shi-! Diane, how could you spend a quiet weekend at the camp with this bro? How Gonyea-like. On another note, the vote is not in yet on the Commish's new contract. The Florida vote is a bit slow getting done. The Senior Advisory Council expects ratification soon after Rex Ryan is fired. Also, in case you missed it, the owners have voted 131/2 to 1/2 to give each owner 1/2 point for each tie game in the future. Patrick voted in his pajamas. The ghost mailed his in.
One last request: The Commish says it is extremely easier to chart the grid if all owners pick by the order that he sends out each week. Something too about using just the nickname and not the city such as Pats and not New England. He can kiss my Irish ass! I'm taking New England this week.

The Commissioner Initiates an Investigation
The Commissioner of the GoZone Football League has started an investigation into Ed's (AKA: The Ghost) pick of the Bills over the Pats. All the people involved have been summoned and their testimony has been scheduled.
Unfortunately, the Ghost's long history of picking against the Patriots, and the many points he has lost by doing so, weighs heavily in his disfavor. Not for the first time, the Ghost's judgment, loyalty and sanity has been brought into question. While the Commissioner will steer a straight course as usual, he does understand that the controversy has to be heard on both sides. The Ghost's lack of participation, to be kind, has long been a problem within the league and has engendered angst amongst the league members. The Commissioner has long dedicated himself to the principle that members who can prove their existence must be heard and cherished.
The Commissioner anticipates that the investigation will be prompt and thorough. He said he feels it should be concluded before the Super Bowl, at the latest.

Bills?
The Ghost is complaining that he had a rough enough week as it is for picks that he does not need to lose anymore points due to errors from the commissioner's office. He is requesting that the commish review his picks as he did not pick the Bills over the Pats.
Time to fire the interns.
The Ghost would have brought this up himself but I don't think he knows or cares what a blog is.

Commish Gets a Raise?
The Commissioner wishes to convey his sincere thanks and gratitude for suggestions from league members that he receive a raise for the challenging work he puts in for the league. He is humbled by the support and pledges to continue to put in Herculean efforts, week in and week out, on behalf of the league.
In spite of the fact that his pledge to never raise dues has lapsed, he said he refuses to raise dues for this and next season, although he cautioned that an overwhelming vote by the Senior Advisory Committee would require him officially to revisit that decision.

Picks Plus
So the Commish is talking about working less! Let me see, he is joining a boat club during the season. He is in NH for the summer and work there is non-existent. He nows wants to work less in Florida. First, handing off to his interns has been a miserable failure in the past. The office phone rings and the lights are on but seldom is there a coherent response from the Patrick pajama presenter. So please just continue with your four hour work week but do not ask the owners for any raise during this extremely difficult Barack-is-back time.

Week 9 Observations
The membership has expressed some anxiety over the current leader and the commissioner's competence.
1. Current leader with 90 points is Connecticut Kirk. Various league members have inquired as to exactly whom he is and whether or not he is actually a citizen of the United States. Others expressed suspicion that there is actually a state named "Connecticut" and that he might really be a foreigner, like a Russian or an American Indian. Some note that many of his picks are crazy and insane, yet they are highly accurate. Those same members suggest that maybe there are teams throwing games for casinos in states like, well, Connecticut, if it actually exists. Finally, many members have asked for a full investigation, video clips, signed and notarized personal statements and detailed explanations of whom he knows and how he knows them.
2. The Commissioner has come under fire as well. Accusations of BWI, incompetence and alcoholism have been lodged, without any proof whatsoever. The Commissioner, though widely known for his compassion and willingness to forgive, also would feel remiss if he did not remind members of Section III, Sub-section A, which reads:
4. Pick of the Week goes to Marcus for his pick of the Steelers over the Giants. Wayne, Kirk, JoJo and Scott picked the Colts over the Dolphins.
5. Members are advised to read the league by-laws to make sure they are fulfilling requirements, especially because the Commish has joined a boat club and will be delegating more work to interns.

Kirk, Cuz Wayne and Kate are currently in a three race for league leadership, with 90, 88 and 87 points, respectively. Following closely are the Ghost and Kevin with 85, the Champ and the Commish with 84, and Dianne with 81.
4. Pick of the Week goes to Marcus for his pick of the Steelers over the Giants. Wayne, Kirk, JoJo and Scott picked the Colts over the Dolphins.

Oh and by the way cuz Pat O reigning champ. Thanks for pointing out the era in last weeks pic's, 82 has always been an extremely unlucky number for me ~ but whenever 81 has come into play for me I have been the beneficiary of great rewards. Not saying, just saying!

Week 8 Stats Revisited
The Commish thanks the Champ his keen observations of Week 8 stats. Below is the revised edition.
Tuesday, October 30, 2012
In what alternate reality or should I say altered state of reality ( thank you Rob Roy) did the Vikings win last Thursday. I'm cool with it but I think the members who didn't get their picks in for that game might object to the points awarded to... well everybody else. As the reigning champ I feel I must contest these results and plead with the commish to sober up for the good of the league.

Foul
Commish, please check the post. Naples Kev took SF, Jo took the Cards. Another slurpy slip-up by the lame-duck Commish. Also, Cuz, Kirk, Di, Kate and Scott should undergo neurological testing for picking the Browns(and they won). Not to be outdone, most ghastly, ghostly pick goes to Ed for choosing the Rams. This owner needs to be ousted from the league. His treason trial starts next week.

Investigation CT
Commish,
Please start an immediate investigation into the validity of CT Di an her claim as to thursday's pick. You can't make that pick on friday! Cuz Wayne tried that more than once with no success. This owner believes(and has proof) that she was sipping heavily on blueberry wine at Uncanoonic early thursday morning. It is conclusive that she just blew off the pick and didn't recover until someone drove her back to CT. Owners behavior such as this is intolerable!
To all, happy bloody picking today

The Ghost: Vikings
The Commissioner Responds
The Commissioner would like to thank all the league members who have written, texted, tweeted, facebooked and called in their concern about his near tragic landing in Fort Myers. While still shaken, the Commissioner insists that he continue his work in the main office rather than resting and recuperating at an island resort. While some members said they felt it would be appropriate to take league funds for that, the issue is moot for the Commissioners heroic work ethic precludes such a needed recourse.
League funding is, of course, an intricate and compelling topic and rightly so. League members should feel that their funds are being used wisely to invest in the success of the league. In fact, the Commissioner will be holding a Senior Advisory Council meeting soon to discuss the issue and Cuz Wayne's honest concerns. As all SAC meetings are part of a legal process and authorization of an investigation requires that no information be public until the investigation is concluded.
To those who have called, texted, tweeted, facebooked and wrote their belief that Cuz Wayne's allegations are a product of a frustrating 2012 season, I remind you that motivations can never be an issue when league members make accusations.
The Commissioner is also chastised by Cur Wayne's outrage at his acceptance of Connecticut Kirk's version of the near-tragic landing, and he pledges to accept any other member's account of the event and make that one the official version if it is funnier than Kirk's.
In related news, the Commissioner will be seeing a chiropractor tomorrow to aid the healing process from his flight home.
League funding is, of course, an intricate and compelling topic and rightly so. League members should feel that their funds are being used wisely to invest in the success of the league. In fact, the Commissioner will be holding a Senior Advisory Council meeting soon to discuss the issue and Cuz Wayne's honest concerns. As all SAC meetings are part of a legal process and authorization of an investigation requires that no information be public until the investigation is concluded.

Wow!
Cuz, I didn't realize you had the dictionary out with that gushing outburst surrounding the Commish. However, I do know that the Commish is interested in every 29 year-old woman who lives and breathes. It's so bad in Maine that God had to intervene and shake up the area. He was aiming for Kennebunk but actually hit Portland. I agree that we are making some frivolous payments to keep the league office(s) afloat. He does have a tenant that is helping to offset expenses. That would be Rob Roy. Time will tell if the elevation affects the Commish with this week's picks. I thought I heard from Ed the other night but it was just the wind blowing. When will Marcus and Luke just sell their teams to anybody who is interested. Kate is making a strong bid this year along with Rookie Di. It won't last. A summer meeting is definitely in order. Who knows, you might get to meet Patrick(Pajama Man) and Uncle Ed. Sean and Bran are too busy moving to make a pick this week. Cuz says it's okay if they pick on next tuesday because he did that before and it worked out all right.

I am concerned about how our commissioner handles our league funds.
It was always my understanding that the tax each team pays into the central office is used to offset certain administrative expenses such as internet, graphic design, telephone, and limited office expenses.
Now, the commissioner enjoys the comfort of two offices, summers in NH and winters in FL. Do we need two offices? It seems he's not tough enough to live year round in the north like us true New Englanders, but has turned into a sissy like his younger brat, er...brother.
Now we hear tales of airplane sex. Instead of insisting he didn't have sex with that woman, he proudly pumps his chest as if it was a conquest! Ohhhh, the shame. I, personally am appalled at such behavior and shudder to think what the price tag was. An audit is necessary to unearth the cost to all teamowners for this tryst.
It has also been reported to me by a reliable source that the commissioner has been scouting around for yet another cozy office hideaway in Kennebunk, ME. I'm looking for photo evidence and trying to ascertain if his name is included on a detailed list of customers of a certain local 29-year-old businesswoman...
I think we need an independent and impartial investigator to dig up all the fertile dirt surrounding this matter and impose a severe sentence on the guilty bastard.
In all fairness, remember that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Remember also, there is always an exception to the rule...
Prudently appalled,
Cuz

PJs?
I would like to know who goes to a banquet to receive a trophy dressed in pajamas? Patrick, are you serious? Probably another ill-advised wardrobe disaster orchestrated by the Ghost. He looked about as good as his picks have been lately. Kirk is just having beginner's luck. It's a long season. Most members on the Gonyea side have little stamina. Please make sure that no one divulges their picks before Cuz Wayne. He still thinks we care! Brandy has been quiet for some reason. Oh, I just saw why. Nice to see the Commish is back in the office after a six-month hiatus. He was visiting Bobby V. He is writing a sequel to "The Great Escape".

Mile High
The Commish likes Kirk's version of his airplane story and it now is the accepted reality. Please disregard my initial description of the incident as I was struggling with telling the story on a family blog and may have been too subtle with my metaphor. Kirk obviously saw through to the truth as only a fellow mile high member can.

Commish please tell the true story of the plane ride! I heard it went like this ...... You were flying at a altitude of 5280 ft when the stewardess fell back into her seat, she inadvertently keyed the mike and said Whoa Mike. After a slight pause she said. "We now have a club member". It was on Fox about an hour ago.
As far as my picks ~ I have been sending them to you on Wednesday's "not saying ~ just saying! Can't help but believe that many are waiting for Chris Berman's report.
Question of the week. Is Ed really Waldo?
Thursday night the Buccaneers will win.

Week 7 Observations
For many league members, week 7 was a comeback from a disastrous week 6.
1. A Record Setting Week. No less than three members set a record for winning percentage with 12-1 records. In fact, going into Monday night's game, two members, Kirk and Diane, were a perfect 12-0. The Commish edged them out in total points however with a Monday night win and a total of 13 points.
2. Both Unanimous Picks Were Successful. Both the Giants and the Pats won. The Pat's choice saw a return to unanimous Pats' picks, although they were playing the Jets. Nest week will be more of a challenge for the Patriot haters.
3. Connecticut Kirk is Popular. For the second week in a row, another member had the exact same picks at Kirk. Or maybe Kirk had the same picks as two other members, depending upon how you look at it. At any rate, he continue to lead the league with 69 points, followed by the Commish with 66, Kevin and Kate with 65, Wayne and the Ghost with 64, and Diane, Patrick and JoJo with 62. Sean and Kyle round out the 60's with 60.
4. Pick of the Week. The Titan barely beat the Bills to post the biggest upset in the league. Only 3 league members, Kirk, Diane and Scott picked the Titans. The Commish was reported apoplectic with the ending of the game, having picked the Bills.
5. The Commissioner Returns. The Commish return to his home in Florida on Monday, enduring a rather rough landing in Fort Myers. Just as the wheels touched down with a decided thump and loud crashing sound, the stewardess accidentally activated the intercom and was heard to say "Whoa" as she fell backward into her seat. The Commish was of course prepared to take command if there was an emergency, but the plane did not bounce except for the initial contact with the ground. Nevertheless, the Commish's commanding presence gave comfort to many, it was reported.
