The Treasonous Three

Well, it didn't take long for three members to unleash their Patriot hating ways. Omahahaha, The Dink of the North and Big Tird all abandoned the Patriots early in the process. Call it what you will, cowardice, lack of character, stupidity, it seems to affect some members every year. They say they aren't Patriot Haters, but, as Aristotle put it so well, "Man is judged by his actions, not his intentions." And the offending action here is the picking of the Texans over the Pats. Were they impressed with the Texan's record? Perhaps. Their stars on defense? Most assuredly. The lack of experience of the Patriots quarterback? Whatever the reason, they abandoned the cardinal reason for the existence of the Go Zone Football League: To support and praise the New England Patriot Football team.

Let's look at the offensive and offending three.

First and foremost, Omahahaha. This is not the first time Omahahaha jumped ship on the Patriots, and I fear it will not be the last. He has thrown away points in previous seasons, and then has the temerity to complain about losing the championship by "only one point." Well, he then continues to throw points away on losing Patriot hating picks. so we will admit no such laments the rest of this season. Omahahaha, or as Deland calls him, Midwest Muck, has shown his true yellow color and he deserves what he gets.

Then there is the Dink of the North. The Dink is an interesting combination of ludicrous logic, over-reaching ambition and malodorous poopery. He poses as an intellectual, scholarly handicapper who bases his picks on superior knowledge, precise logic and winning know how, but he slobbers all over himself the first chance come to dump the Pats. His Patriot hating loses him points every year and he seems oblivious to how that happened. If he could only let go of his blatant anti-Pats bias, he might be accepted in polite society once again.

And last but not least, is Big Tird. This one really hurts, for I have been counseling him on the proper way to be a member and good standing in the league, and what is his thanks? To throw in with Omahahaha and The Dink of the North. This is a forgiving league, and many new members have had a misstep or two before they saw the light and settled into being a respected member of the league. But treachery is heinous and traitors cannot be trusted. We will be watching closely to see if he becomes a friend to the league, or if he remains a foe.

So, we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. The Bills are coming to town! They are really due! I can only imagine which one soils himself to be the first to pick them.
