Ed and Patrick have pledge allegiance to the Commish. Ryan and Kyle do not have separate votes from Brandy and Sean. That leaves three for Brandy. Kevin is surely checking Marcus's many singular correct picks this year. That accounts for his silence.
As per a recent post, the league is bitterly divided and the only untethered vote is Diane's, and she has been silent, leaving us irretrievably deadlocked. Brandy should be commended for her passion on this issue, but deadlock plays to the status quo, which is the Commissioner's ruling. He should be commended for making a ruling counter to his son Marcus's success.
It is the Commissioner who says this.
