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:
The Commissioner shall have the power to penalize members for a variety of reasons at his discretion, including but not limited to improper order of picks, member fraud, unconscionable incivility, failure to respond to member inquiries, lack of respect to the Commissioner.3. 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.
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.
