The commissioner, and soon-to-be President for Life, strongly defends his use of the time members spend on making out the survey. Actually, he said he feels it is a meaningless statistic, but used it as a filler to let people know that the surveys had been recorded. The fact that Kevin took almost 24 minutes to finish the survey tells us nothing. Members can be doing all sorts of things while making picks, and being quicker or slower making them doesn't mean anything at all. He might have been watching the game and it got exciting, or he might have been pondering over his picks. Completing the survey quickly could mean the member didn't much care about the picks, or that he had the picks prepared beforehand.
But it is the
President for Life's Commissioners part to appreciate each member's needs and concerns, so Omaha shall be free of having his time ever again mentioned.
