Kirks winning Thursday pick is the Chargers
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

Thursday Night Picks
I need to pop some popcorn for this sideshow. Keep it going guys, this is fun. As for the wind out of Naples, it... well it blows as usual. Anyway on to the picks.
The Champ: Vikings
The Ghost: Vikings
The Champ: Vikings
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.

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.
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
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.

The Kate Ascendancy
Upon review, the league office corrected a mistaken pick in week 6. Kate had picked the Broncos on Monday night but her choice was marked as the Chargers. Upon the correction, Kate now has 56 points, second to Kirk's 57 and ahead of the Ghost's 55. Congratulations Kate.

The Commissioner's Observations—Week 6
Let's get right to it.
1. Another catastrophic week for the league. Not one member broke even, and 3 members tied for all time low score of 4 wins. The Champ and the Commish led the week with 7 points, an all time low week winning score.
2. Picks of the Week. Brandy and Ryan start off well with their Thursday night pick of Titans over the Steelers, the only member to do so. Scott was the only member who took the Bills over the Cardinals, in Arizona. The Ghost and Kate picked the Browns over the Bengals. Luke and JoJo took the Giants over the 49ers. Diane and the Commish correctly predicted the Packers over the Texans.
3. Monday Night Fright. Only 4 members won the Monday Night challenge. The Champ, the Commish, Luke and Sean and Kyle had the ultimately successful Broncos. Philip Rivers look sad in that game, and he is getting on as well.
4. Catastrophe Part II. The league's combined record last week was 71-125. I don't know what I can add to that.
5. Soul Searching Runs Amok. Many members are confused by the historically low scores being produced this season, and theories are rampant as to why it is happening. One is that there is a shift in dominance from the AFC to the NFC In the past, American conference teams have had a better record playing NFC teams. That seems to have changed this season. Currently only 2 AFC teams even have winning records, while 7 NFC teams are better than .500. Another theory is that there are many younger, energetic teams challenging older, less speedy teams than before. Such winning teams as the Steelers, the Packers and the Ravens (although right now the Ravens have a winning record, but are shaky with an old and injured defense.) are now losing to teams with younger and perhaps stronger players. Another theory is that this is simply an anomaly, that the season is young and who the teams have played is random at this point. Our beloved AFC East is deadlocked at 3-3, but the perennial champs have only played one of them. Whatever the reasons, it seems to have bedeviled us so far. A recent NY Times story has more information on this year's unpredictability.

The Ghost
I'm channeling the Ghost and he says he definitely picked the Browns, not the Bengals. He also says "Booooooooooooooo! I think the Commish is drinking again. Boooooooooooo! I mean I know they both start with a "B" but come on! Boooooooooooooooo!" The Ghost kinda whines a lot.

Clearly
Clearly there is no end to Cuz Wayne's whining nature. I thought he was going to make another excuse for a late pick. As for Diane's breasts I will assuredly pass on commenting. I knew her when she was two years old! The likelihood of finding EJO Jr. anywhere rivals Bobby V's popularity in Boston. Zero. Oh, by the way, I prefer to be called the great winner and not a sore loser. How could I be coined that by the Commish when I have never experienced losing. It's refreshing to know that Kirk FINALLY is learning the system. Special education runs rampant in CT.
Yours in winning(or whining in Nebraska)

Wearing me out...
What a week.
Monday played bridge; Tuesday played golf and went to a football game that evening; Wednesday played golf and bridge in the evening; Thursday played golf; today rested; Saturday will have two volleyball games to go to, and Sunday Karen and I are playing golf in a couples event, followed by dinner.
I deserve an award for making time to read Kevin's drivel, steer the Commissioner's Advisory Council in a coherent direction, Remind Kirk to come down from his tree when it gets dark, and put up with the braggadoccious conduct of the O'Leary clan, especially the female ones.
Now I have to surf the internet trying to verify the existence of one Edmund Joseph O'Leary, Jr.
But first, this weekend's picks:
Cincy over Cleveland
Jets over Indy
Tampa Bay over KC
Atlanta over Oakland
Baltimore over Dallas
Philly over Detroit
Miami over St. Louis
Pats over Seattle
Arizona over Buffalo
Washington over Minnesota
Frisco over Giants
Houston over Green Bay
And on Monday night:
San Diego over Denver

Now I have to surf the internet trying to verify the existence of one Edmund Joseph O'Leary, Jr.
But first, this weekend's picks:
Cincy over Cleveland
Jets over Indy
Tampa Bay over KC
Atlanta over Oakland
Baltimore over Dallas
Philly over Detroit
Miami over St. Louis
Pats over Seattle
Arizona over Buffalo
Washington over Minnesota
Frisco over Giants
Houston over Green Bay
And on Monday night:
San Diego over Denver

Brandy's Off to a Great Start
Brandy has a point on the field and wins the Pick of the Week already for her pick of the Titans over the Steelers. Congratulations!!
Kirk's Picks, Diane's Whereabouts, and "Sore Losers"
First off, Kirk hid his pick by putting it in as a comment to Brandy's September 23 diatribe. We have had a discussion and he agrees to use the "New Post" feature for his picks from now on. Actually it would be beneficial for all to use posts instead of comments, because comments do not show up as separate posts and everyone does not get notified of them, include the Commish.
Second off, I am worried about Diane who is at the Beehive camp in Uncanoonic. "Uncanoonic" means "woman's breast" by the way. See Uncanoonic is a rather large hill and has a sister hill nearby and because of that...well, most of you get the picture. Anyway, Di didn't get her pick in and didn't respond to a phone call. As stipulated by league by-laws, the league office will use coin tosses to get her picks on the board. Coin tosses are used twice for missing picks. After that, the member is own his own.
Third off, Diane's complaint that Kirk has always been a sore loser actually puts him more squarely in the center of the league. Look up "Sore Loser" in Wikipedia and you will find a picture of Kevin and find out that another word for "sore loser" is "an O'Leary."

Hey everyone, stop picking the Steelers. Cuz thinks you are looking at his pick and he is crying. More midwest muck.

Owner's Meeting
There is a need to call a meeting of all owners immediately. I propose that we re-name the GO Zone to the GOS Zone. That's right, the Severance family has paid their dues and have already contributed more fluff to the blog than the Gonyea family. None of this is surprising. I demand this consideration be acted on asap. I know this will be difficult because we have no contact with Ghost Ed. His vote doesn't matter anyway. Notice that the O'Leary vowel is in the middle of two know-nothing letters. I thought of SOG but that only applies to Marcus, Patrick, and Kirk.
Meeting time: Saturday, 1pm at The Beehive, Goffstown NH. Cuz Wayne, I'll bring the All-Star baseball game.

Thought 2 of the day: Kirk is already rambling on about birthplaces etc. No one has any idea what he is talking about. He would get along well with Patrick.
Thought 3 of the day: Commish, please follow the by-laws for a change and not allow any post-game picks. I think he lost control of the office faster than Bobby V. lost his team!
Happy 10/11/12 to all( Yes, even you Ed)

Kirk's Lead, etc
The reason a member leads at any particular time, and especially this year, is a total mystery. I believe Brandy and Ryan have a complicated system of evaluating the relative strength of each team's name, such as Falcons are stronger than Seahawks. Yet, or perhaps because of this, she was the winner of the 2010 regular season (The Millie Award). Kevin, who is hugely informed in his own mind, did win the playoffs (The Chappie Award) and the Commish won the 2011 regular season, but newcomer Patrick won the overall playoffs.
In fact, researching the sports pages to make informed picks seems useless as well. The average for the experts at ESPN, CBS, NBC and Sports Illustrated are all barely over .500, if that. In fact, the only member of the league that I know of who actually played football at the high school level is Lucas, and he is at or near the bottom each week, although I have witnessed his method for picking and it makes Brandy and Ryan look like they are Peter King, the most informed of all the experts in my opinion.
After deep and heavily medicated thought, I have determined that the weekly and season long results are pre-ordained by Fate, and just as fickle.

I have to wonder how Kirk is in first place ..... I feel this maybe something the Commish should look into. As i have said before he knows nothing of football . Im surprised he wasnt one of the shameful ones who picked against the Pats ! Im sure you remember that Kirk was always a sore loser as a child , this maybe the reason he is getting profesional help on his pics. Just saying .

The Commissioner's Observations—Week 5
It was a good week for the league, with many members enjoying high scores. Unfortunately, the week saw two members pick against the Patriots.
1. A New Leader. Kirk had a sterling 11-3 recording, catapulting him into sole possession of first place with 53 points. Also with an 11-3 record was the Commish, followed by 10-4 weeks from Patrick, Luke and Kevin. Next at 9-5 were Cuz Wayne, Diane, Marc, JoJo, and Sean and Kyle. Brandy and Ryan and Kate had 8-6 weeks, and Scott was 8-5. The Ghost, in proof of cosmic justice, was 7-7. Connecticut Kirk is beginning to pull away from pack, and the Commissioner has been asked to look into his qualifications. It seems no one has seen his birth certificate and the suspicion is that he could be participating unlawfully. While awaiting proof of his authenticity, the Commissioner and the Senior Advisory Council plan on pursuing a Member ID ruling that will disqualify those who are corrupting the purity of the league.
2. More Proof of Cosmic Justice. Prominent on the GoZone is member Kevin, 2010's overall champion. His often toxic comments on everyone and everything included this week a criticism of the Commissioner's son, Lucas. He said Luke had "no clue." Well, this week, No Clue tied Kevin at 10-4, begging the question of just how clueless Luke was and Kevin is. If fact, they had almost identical picks.
3. Pick of the Week. The Commish and son Luke both picked the Dolphins over the Bengals.
4. Patriot Haters. It has long been an unwritten rule of the GoZone that the Patriots are to be everyone's pick. Last year, in a fit of pique and foolishness, the Ghost picked against them multiple times. Of course, he usually lost. But now his poor example has an accomplice. Brandy and Ryan picked against the Patriots as well. It is a sad day for the GoZone when two of its founding members abandoned the Pats with such foolhardy picks. Many League members have send the Commissioner emails and letters asking that some sort of penalty be assessed. While the Commissioner's heart goes out to loyal and trustworthy members, he reminds all that, technically, this is not a punishable offense, although some have suggested that the Senior Advisory Council meet to discuss this matter. For the time being, the Ghost and Brandy and Ryan will go unsanctioned by the league, but we take solace in the fact that they will have to live in ignominy for their actions.
5. Upset of the Week. Aside for the distressed caused by some league members by Patriot haters, the official upset of the week was the Colts over the Pack. No one saw that one coming.

I am all in favor of a a get together in NH. Just a couple of concerns, the door to the cotage has been reinforced ~ so we will send Mike a key. WAIT FOR THE KEY because the window has been replaced with a smaller one. If it will be July that will give me a chance to find that pic of Kevin dressed in those ~ well lets just say ~ girly cloths. And leave Ed alone!

multiple entries under false names
Kirk and Diane have really brought life... yeah right! Sounds like made up names by the Commish to put in alternative picks and secretly win under a pseudonym. Some people will do just about anything to be on top! As far as the current score goes, isn't the winner the one with the score with the least common multiples?
Well I'm still winning weekly victories. This week I won 8 over 7. However, I'm not sure who played against me and scored a 7??? Perhaps the Commish can be a little clearer on how exactly this game works.
Brandy
P.S. I believe there was a rule established 3 years ago that any player who gives birth in the current year gets a bonus point. My 8 lb 10 oz football should count for something.

The Commissioner Responds
As everyone knows, all of the break-ins I accomplished as a youth were really accidents of one form or another. Well, maybe not the one when 20 people showed up to party. That was more of a misunderstanding. Besides, none of them had to happen, if Chappie and Millie and Jim Leahy just gave me a copy of their keys to the camps. It was downright mean of them to force me to "borrow" them to make copies.
Also, I am disappointed in Kevin for bringing up this ancient topic. Many people, including Presidents of the United States, have done misguided things when they were young. Besides, I am pretty sure I was overly inhibited by my parents and that is what caused my misdeeds. Maybe not my arrest for driving to endanger, or that arson thing, but just about everything else.
Kevin has, however, touched on important issues in his post. I am pretty sure the Senior Advisory Committee will be looking at the issue of a member leading the league while at the same time having no proof of his existence. It is kind of like the voter id controversy. No one has heard or seen Ed for over three years, not counting Patrick who is suspect because he is biased in Ed's favor and who himself may be an illegal alien. I for one have never seen his birth certificate! Why is he hiding it? All in all, absence from GoZone posting is-should be-will be a major offense to its integrity.
At any rate, Kirk and Diane have added new life to the GoZone and its unpredictability continues to amaze.

Emergency Meeting
There is a need to have an owner's meeting as soon as next summer at Lake Uncanoonic. It doesn't matter if the Ct. connection is there or not. We can always break in. An all-nighter is in order followed by a round at a nice golf course in Goffstown. The Commish has let the bashing get out of hand. He should apply for the Red Sox manager's job. If we could only get Cuz Wayne to come east. Go Sooners. We need a quorum at this meeting. Also on the agenda will be Ed's disappearance ala Jimmy Hoffa. Patrick, dig up the driveway. Speaking of Patrick, talk about a poor performance in defending the crown. Kirk must be cheating. Commish, could you look into that as well. SeanO finally picked who Kyle told him to. Lucas has no clue and Brandy is still looking at the numbers. The Commish contends he is on the job but he has become more scarce than usual. Gotta go because I know Patrick is already banging the keys to bad mouth this Naples owner. Diane please make some sense of this mess, more sense than your picks! Commish, by the way, I meant to pick da Bears so just add a point to my total. Brandy will never know!

The Commissioner's Week 5 Observations
The return of the real officials seems to have marked the return of success in the members' picks. The commissioner believes that this will lift the spirits of members who were moribund about their success this year.
Some observations:
Pick of the Week. The Commish's son Marcus was singular in his pick of the Bears over the Cowboys. Who saw that coming? He credited his pick to an excellent upbringing.
Winner of the Week. Aforementioned Marcus was the overall winner with 13 points for the week. He was tied with The Ghost and Sean with a stellar 12-3 record.
Overall Leader. Easy Ed, AKA "The Ghost" for his virtual absence from the GoZone's musings, has 43 points to lead the league. Connecticut Kirk has 41, Kate has 39, and Cuz Wayne and JoJo have 37. Diane and Kevin have 36 while Sean and Marc have 35.
Welcome Back! Sean breaks into the leader column with his fine week, after being missing in action for, well, forever.
Reverse Picks of the Week. Diane picked the Raiders over the Bronco's in a victory of hope over experience. The plodding Raiders look horrible, but Manning can make a lot teams look like that. Diane has the distinction of being the first ever Double RPOW with her pick of the Ain'ts over the Packers, although they were very competitive in that game.
Unanimous Picks. All three of the league members' unanimous picks won. The Ravens took care of the Browns, the Pats the Bills and the Falcons the Panthers.
