Investigation Summary

Our esteemed leader and heroic commissioner recently asked me to share progress on my investigation into rumors that one of our league members broke the rules of the league and long established protocols of transparencies by professionally gambling on NFL football games.


This is what I have uncovered so far:
  • The heinous culprit is a female. There are currently seven females in the league, not counting the Ghost. Of those seven, Peg and Karen passed the investigation with flying colors. Both have impeccable characters and clean records, with no rumors or innuendo about them at all.
  • My investigation finds Diane to be capable of gambling adventures and someone who is not tied to conventions and societal norms. However, as the Boss so succinctly notes in a recent post, if it were Diane she would have a higher score. Rather harsh, but there it is.  Diane is improving each week so that proves that she did not bring a gambling past to the league.
  • The case against Brandy is a bit stronger. She has the most Picks of the Week of any one in the league and she is a mathematician, so she understands the numbers and points well. If she had odds on her weekly picks, she would be way ahead in winnings, if not wins. However, phone taps and surveillance has uncovered no connections to Vegas. She is in the clear.
  • Amy presents a volatile mix of impulsiveness and competitiveness that begs a closer look at her. Her week 13 record of 13-2 proves to be highly suspicious, given such scores are rare.  To go 13-2 is difficult for anyone, except of course for professional gamblers. A review of her league application reveals a stubborn, if not throw-it-in-your-face competitiveness that takes no prisoners. Luckily for her, the entire town of Westmoreland claimed to know her well and vouched for her character as only small town members can. There are few professional gamblers in Westmoreland.
That leaves two females left. I hope to have the complete evidence soon so we can confront the scurrilous villain once and for all.

I thank the righteous and respected Commish for this opportunity to serve the Go Zone Football League.
