Advice to the Commish: Put down the beer before posting the picks.
Nick picked the Seahawks over the Cardinals. That seems fair enough.
But then down at the bottom, Nick apparently also picked the Seahawks to beat both the Chiefs and the Broncos on Monday night. Thos Hawks are certainly going to be tired after playing three games this week...
So, do I get extra pay for auditing the Commish's picks charts as well as his arithmatic?

Jude and Rolls Show the Way
Jude the Prude and Rolls have shown what can be accomplished when people cooperate and work for the common good. Jude's rough and sarcastic treatment by Omahahahahahahaha should be shocking, but alas it is not. Jude should be admired for her calm acceptance of the unfortunate fate of having such a relative.
One wonders what Omahahahahaha or Deland would react if they sent money and did not get credit for it. I can only imagine the nasty accusations that would flow from these two. Yet Rolls calmly notified the Commish using the blog correctly. A short investigation revealed that the link I published was correct and working, and Rolls accepted that and re-sent her dues using the PayPal link.
Such civilized cooperation is the ideal of the league. One hopes that Omahahahahaha and Deland see the error of their ways and joins the community in joy and good will.
The Commish
Tears
Thank you Deland...nobody knows the trouble I feel...I am constantly reduced to tears..but I must go on.
Apologies
I must apologize to the commish! I used his email instead of the link when submitting our payment to PayPal, so he never received our dues. I have corrected my mistake and the Royce clan is truly paid up now! I appreciate the commish’s help in fixing my error!

Such a trial
Judy, I now see the trials and tribulations you had to endure with a brother like you have! Now to the meat of the issue. I certainly would want to stumble out of the gate as opposed to stumbling down the stretch which has become a cornerstone grave marker for Omaha. He has let the Millie and the Chappie slip through his hands more often than Don Buddin made errors! The faintest sniff of league power apparently brings out the worst of Omaha. No matter, league owners please be on your guard for more lashing out from Omaha with more senseless Midwest Muck. Big Red for sainthood!!!
Best to all,
Deland

Way to go Diane and Marc
Diane and Marc discovered a way to improve their percentage - leave the pick blank and be assigned (under the rules) the home team.
Deland could learn something here...

Groucho's marks
Deland's stumbling out of the gate has turned him into an even bigger grouch than usual.
No need to feel embarrassed about it, no one really expected you to contend anyway.

Omaha
Don’t feel bad
Royce family, this type of error is common coming from the league office. Omaha spent three years blaming Google and Yahoo for reception problems before eventually bringing a shallow lawsuit against the Commish. It went nowhere as does most things with Omaha. However, it appears Guido has once again instituted a faulty program into the system. Try the Don’t Paypal link located right next to the shut down tab. You may hear from the new Quality Control Director Omaha about this accounting debacle but it may take time as his workload of arithmetic/mathematics scoring inquiries is back-logged to the point that he does not have time to play bridge on wednesdays. Hopefully in the near future a portion of the dues will pay for a set of addition tables to be posted in the league office.
Sympathetically yours,
Deland

Week 3 Observations
1. Winner of the Week. While the Commish, Sanford, and Mother of Cats all had a 10-6 week, it was Lindsey who was the week's winner with 11 points. Lindsey won Monday night which proved the difference.
2. Co-Leaders. A Monday night win also propelled Omahahahahaha to an overall tie with Nashua with 34 points. Although both had 9-7 weeks, Wayne's successful Monday night was the difference.
3. Pick of the Week. Lucas pulled out the week's most prevalent pick with the Saints over the Falcons.
4. Reverse Pick of the Week. Brother Marcus gets the ignominy of the week's most shocking pick, the Colts over the Eagles, although that game could have gone either way and Marcus could have ended up with the POW.
5. Dues Status. As promised, we will be publishing the information on the 2017 dues. Here is the latest information:

Shocked!
is my brother actually making corrections in my favor! 😲😲 Oh I get it he thinks he’s going to kick my butt and doesn’t want any errors! 🤣🤣. Bring it on bro!
I have never made a math error on the GoZone!
As Millie's son, I feel compelled to correct the impression that I have made a number of math errors on this blog, or anywhere else for that matter. I do admit to making a few arithmetic errors however.
Arithmetic is addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.
Mathematics is calculus, trig, geometry, differential equations and their derivatives.
For Millie's sake, let's not make that mistake again,
The Commish

Hey Amy
I had you with the Falcons, who lost, but you did pick the Bears, who won. Therefore, you improved one point to 8-8 for the week.I have corrected both the week picks and the week stats, but you won't see the corrections until this week's stats come out.
Thanks for the corrections.

Thanks Omaha and New Pics
The Commish is thankful for all the assistance he can get. Omahahahahahahaha has volunteered to check for errors, omissions and faulty arithmetic.
The league is looking for someone to take over the weekly process for a few weeks. This includes processing the schedule, putting it into a Word table, and putting each members picks under their name and picture. Then replacing the wrong picks with Xed out team pictures and filling out the stats sheet on Tuesdays. Tuesdays also mean setting up the new week on the survey monkey and publishing the link to the new survey. Taking over for a few weeks will ensure that there is a backup.

Another math error
BEEP!
Hey Commish - my audit for week 3 reveals one error in your math.
You have correctly tabulated Jude the Prude's picks for week 3 - she went 9-7.
She received no bonus point.
Her previous week 2 total was 24.
Thus, 24, plus 9 equals 33, not the 31 you gave her.
You're welcome,
Omaha

Dues are due
Please note our esteemed Commissioner's reminder that Go Zone dues are due.
This is especially important since our Commissioner has promoted me from unpaid assistant to Go Zone Auditor. It is not proper that he pay my salary out of his own pocket, which leave me open to questioning of my objectivity in the performance of my duties.
Additionally, I would be forced to recuse myself should a question ever arise concerning the Commissioner's disbursements of funds.
Respectfully,
Omaha

Time for Dues
The incredibly low 2017 dues of $10 are currently, well, due. I have updated the League Finances page, so members should visit it to determine if they owe any back dues.
Any disputes about the accuracy of the statement will be handled by Guido, as is the custom of the past.
As a way to avoid non-payment of dues, Guido will be supplying me with the names of the people who have not paid their dues weekly. I will publish them in the Observations or in a separate document.
Looking forward to a long and profitable year.

Observations from Week 2
1. Jude the Prude Excels. Judy has had a strong start, just as she did two years ago before running into an investigation about her alleged professional gambler status. Her 13 points edged out 12 each from Nashua and Omahahahahaha.
2. Nashua on the Ascendancy. Peg had another good week and after two weeks is averaging 12.5 weekly points. She takes the picks quite seriously and pours over the picks chart each week. It seems to be paying off for her.
3. Omaha, Big Red and Pops Strong. Wayne, Karen and Ryan are also off to a strong start, all having 24 points. Wayne and Karen are quick to pick each week, but Ryan needs some prompting sometimes. It doesn't seem to hurt him though.
4. The Mendoza Line Lurks. A few members flirted with the Mendoza Line this week and one obliterated it. Nick, Sean, Luke, and Patrick all came in 8-8, and Lindsey, who had a strong rookie year, dropped below the Line with a 7-9 week. But the award for How-the-Mighty-Have-Fallen goes to the Boss. Jo had a 5-11 week! Not quite a tie of the Ghosts 3-13 pace setter from a few years ago, but a hole she must get out of. Look for her to go for the underdogs again! If you remember, Jo employed a bet on the underdog strategy in the playoffs last year and almost won the Chappie for the third straight year. If she had stayed with that strategy in the SuperBowl, she would have succeeded. But she abandoned it to pick the Pats and the rest is history.
5. Deland Gang Struggling. Kevin, Jo and Sean are 17, 16 and 19 so far this year. Always competitive, the Gang seems to be caught up by the realignment of talent shown so far in the NFL. This might be the year the NFL talent shifts to a host of new teams. The Pats, Cowboys, Steelers, Seahawks and Saints don't look sharp.

Since when?
Correction to Omaha’s blurb about the Commish and his picks. First, what he meant to say was his team is on crack and secondly the word “accurate” is not in the Go-Zone library. I hope this clears up the matter without calling for another frivolous investigation of the home office. The docket is already overloaded with Guido at the helm! Go Pats!

Awards Meeting on the 23rd!
Jo and Kev have jumped into the fray and got reservations for Sunday, September 23rd at the Homestead restaurant in Merrimack, NH at 5:00. I procrastinated on this all summer, so their help is much appreciated.
All league members are invited and the Millie and the Chappie will be awarded. We understand that this is very short notice, but we hope to see everyone there.
Audit Thanks
Thanks for the audit, Omaha. For a while there I thought you were going to wait until Nebraska won a football game before chiming in the the GoZone.
Hard to wait that long.

My crack team of experts has completed its audit and certifies the Commish's 2nd week numbers as accurate.

Observations from Week 1
1. Pick of the Week. The POW goes to Diane who was the only one to pick the Jets over the Lions. And it was not a squeaker. How the rest of us believed in the Lions is a mystery, but my guess is it won't be repeated. The big question is was it because the Jets are so good, or was it because the Lions are so bad. We'll see.
2. Winners of the Week. Both Peg and Ryan scored 13 points for the week. They had the same picks for each game. Guido wants to start an investigation, saying they were trying to illegally take the Commish's title away from him, but the Commish called on his better angels to hold his investigation until more evidence was generated.
3. The Turd in the Room. Let's face it, Luke, also known as Peterborough even though he no longer lives in Peterborough, deigned to pick against the Pats this week. You can imagine the horror that befell the Commish as a person allegedly his flesh and blood did such a short-sighted, despicable, cowardly, depraved act in full view of all members of the league. Guido insists on a dna test to prove his relationship to the Commish, and other members have called the central office demanding punishment, ex-communication, and even a flogging. However, as painful as it was for the Commish, picking against the Pats is technically permissible, even if it is all but suicide for the person who does. Three years ago, Big Red picked against the Pats four times, lost all four times, and at the end of the season was four points out of the lead. If people want to throw points away, we must let them engage in such dangerous activity. So our thoughts and prayers go out to the troubled Luke, hoping he can get the counseling he so obvioiusly needs.

Freezing in NH
Hello to all the many members who have written with concern about my situation, especially Cousin Judy. Apart from freezing in NH, I am doing fine, although I ran into some problems with my old laptop trying to set up the GoZone for this football season. But after a lot of help from Guido, the job got done.
The search is underway for a restaurant to host our annual awards meeting. Time is flying by, so we may need a double celebration next summer. I will be viewing the first Pats game with my sons in NH. Hopefully, we will repeat that in Florida with their last game of the year.

Whaaaaaat’s Up?????
Hello, anybody home? Does the Commish need my technology expertise? I’m retired and my Mom Betty Kelley is now healed from her fall 13 weeks ago and back driving again (89 yrs old - she’s amazing). Thus I can be at the Commish’s seevice at the spike of a pigskin 🏈.
Also we need to at least FaceTime all members at the same time this weekend to present the Commish with his TWO, yes TWO, trophies 🏆 🏆 for his sweep last season!
Come on GOZONE members, flood this blog and let the games begin (This Thursday first NFL game, Pats play next Sunday @ 1:00 vs Houston) !!!!!!
I’m ready to rumble with the best and them and excited to root for our beloved Brady and his Patriots!
Yours In NFL & Family Comrades,

Yes, I finally agree with Omaha. It appears Guido has extended his vacation and the Commish has sent out a posse to find him. Fines will be in order when his whereabouts are discovered. His new deal wears for 5 years on, not 5 years off! Go Sox!
