As many of you know I compromised my standards when I married Sean. I have really hit rock bottom with this league. This is a disgrace! I think the Commish agrees and decided to sleep right through the season. This would leave oh so swift Kevin in charge. Kevin would have enough trouble creating a spreadsheet let alone counting to 11 with his shoes on.
Cuz.... what's that about???? Typically, family members refer to the outcast in the family as a "cousin". This means you are not really related, but we feel obligated to claim you. Is that really the name you want to continue with?
I officially vote to make zero changes to the league. It seems as if the members are trying to gain favor by creating frivolous rules ( AHEM KEVIN)
Kyle and Ryan have decided they want their own team this year and will take the coin toss each week. Anyone performing below these two troublemakers should really evaluate their decisions in life.
That's all for now,

There is one rule change for the upcoming season that needs to be considered.
If you remember, Patrick won last season because in the super bowl, I did the honorable thing and placed (my honest) pick prior to seeing Patrick's pick. The only way Patrick could win was to pick the opposite of me and have his team win.
Had I chose to, I could have picked "the opposite of Patrick" and it would have been impossible for him to beat me. As I scan the list of owners in this contest, I'm not sure anyone else would have done the honorable thing and made a legitimate pick. Well, maybe niece Diane....er...maybe not.
So, I propose something along these lines:
If the champion is to be determined by the final (super bowl) game, as it was last year, the two (or more) teams in contention are to make their picks via email or phone to the Commish, if he is not involved in the outcome, which is quite likely...
But if in a monumental upset he is still in contention, then picks must be made via phone or email to one of the other two cousins: Wayne or, heaven forbid, Kevin. If all three cousins are involved, picks must be made via phone or email to other than direct descendants, i.e. Kirk or Diane.
Now, we all know there is a fourth cousin, Ed. We all love Ed, but let's face it, in this contest he is a non-factor and all communications with Ed are filtered through Patrick. No, that just wouldn't do.
All teams in contention must pick their final game winner by the specific team name and could not pick "the opposite of (fill in name)," or any similar hijinks.
All teams in contention would not be advised of each other's pick until all picks are in and final, and posted in the GO ZONE.
I apologize that this proposal is so lengthy, wordy, but I tried to anticipate and address the untrustworthyness of some of the players...
With love to all,
The Honorable Omaha Cousin

New Rule to vote on
Naples is asking to implement a new rule for this year. Anyone running the table during the regular season receives three additional points for that week. Come on, let's hear something!
Naples
Naples
What!
Hey cuz, Naples is awake. had a nice visit with Kirk and Diane at Uncanoonic in July. Also stopped on our way back to Fla. and saw Wayne Severance in Mooresville NC just north of Charlotte. Great time as Wayne and Marie were very gracious. They have a beautiful home and we also got the tour of Marie's business facility.
Now on to the GoZone priority. Patrick will not win this year. His trite, insignificant whiny remarks will not be tolerated and there will be NO talk of a dynasty. Yes, the league office seems to be on vacation(again) and there have been few sightings of the Commish. Much of his time has been taken trying to figure out how to drive his honking motorcycle. All is okay here as grandkids Ryan, Kenzie and Kyle keep us hopping. Can't get enough of the grandparent role!
I do agree with cuz, there is a season starting shortly and the kingpin is AWOL. League owners need to call a meeting to discuss the Commish's raise in pay. Maybe just another week off instead. Connecticut is clueless---Kirk just wants to hunt, Di wants to pick blueberries to go with the wine. Patrick is silent(a good thing), Sean stops at Dunkin Donuts too much and Brandy would rather change poopy diapers. What is going on here? Ed is being Ed and Luke, Marcus and Kate never know who to pick. I guess things are normal.
Best to all
