BTW, your survey indicates you picked the Pats.
As to Big Red's anxiety about being kicked out of the league, that doesn't happen. There are a few, however, who have resigned from the league after harsh treatment, usually from Deland. The Commish, of course, always tries to foster comity amongst our league members, no matter the cost of invectives he usually receives. His silent and good-natured presence has brought many to tears.
On the other hand, Big Red's Patriot-hating pick was her second transgression, according to irate league members. They recognize the signs, and they have expressed strong feelings to me that she be put in a solid 10 step program. Oh sure, we could just look away and let her go, but that is really enabling at its core. We wouldn't be surprised if she went against the Pats again this week, susceptible as she is to the temptation to ruin. She must be living in some kind of haze to like Bo Pelini. I don't know what demons she faces daily (although I do know Wayne), but that is never an excuse. No excuses will suffice. To that end, the Senior Advisory Council has demanded that I challenge everyone of her non-Pats picks. If her defense is as flimsy as Omaha's faith in Google, then the pick should be officially challenged. So, pick away Big Red, but realized that we are watching... and waiting.
Absent Ed, and what a prescient term that is, the league has intriguingly started to bunch up. Kevin now has 136 points, Sean 135, Pat and Mike 134, Karen 132, Marc 131 and Luke and Wayne 130. As has been thought often over the past few years, if it wasn't for Ed, this would be fun!
