Jo Wins the Millie


Congrats to Joanne for winning the Millie. The Boss scored 185 points this season. Son Sean was close behind with 183 and Marc was next with 182. Jo was amazingly consistent this year and that brought her the glory!

IN other news, the Senior Advisory Council met last night and voted to extend the "I Beat Omaha" T-shirt offer to the regular season as well. Eligible for the t-shirt are Nick, Ryan, Amy, Sean, Jo, Kevin, Marc, and Mike. The cost is $15.00 and checks should be sent to Mike at 15840 Keygrass Ln, Fort Myers, FL 33905.

Dues are, well, due. The extremely cheap price of $10 will help pay for the trophies. Earlier this year, the SAC voted for a no-trophy penalty for those who win awards but fail to pay dues. The league is well into the red and could hardly afford to pay for Guido's bail last time.

Again, Congrats to Jo. Her tenacity served her well this year. Last year, Karen won with 188 points and the all time point record belongs to Mike with 192 in 2017-18.

Special thanks to Cousin Wayne whose tenacious auditing of the weekly results makes us a better and more transparent league.

Week 16 Audit

BEEP!

Uh, you need to make a change on Lindsay's total points, Commish.

You correctly have her 11-5 for the week, 1 point for Monday night, for a correct total of 12 points.

You correctly show her with a previous total of 155 points.

When you add the 12 points to the previous total of 155 points, the new total points SHOULD be 167.

Unfortunately you show her new total as 157.

Please make the corrections in your records so that the error is not carried over next week.

AWOL Auditor

It appears Omaha, aka The Ultimate Auditor with his many useless titles,  was awol for a good part of the week which affected the timely submission of picks. That in itself has triggered an investigation. Guido will chair that panel with the task of figuring out Omaha's timeline of misinformation and probably illiegal picks after the whistle so to speak. He divulged his picks today and still had two wrong!
The other travesty this week arose from Westmoreland. Imagine a New Englandah even thinking about not taking the Pats! Patriot Hater Ryan crossed that line and may now face The Foxboro Guillotine! Sharpen the blade! May the brunt of Bill Belichek’s blade descend upon you with lightning quickness! Treason! Villain! How can one not select the Pats. Surely this puts Ryan’s ownership status in question. Non-partisan bystander Deland has been selected to chair the “how could he have done that” panel to review possible grounds for suspension from the league. Evidence points to the Pats taking video of Ryan choosing against them. More to come🏈

Beat to all,
Deland

Thank you brother.

Corrected Stats for Week 12


After much consternation and numerous phone calls, the league office has corrected the statistics for week 12, with the help of the official league auditor Cousin Wayne of Omaha.

In a perfect storm scenario, the league marked Judy wrong for picking the Skins over the Lions, resulting in one extra point assigned to everyone else. Secondly, Judy also had mistakenly been assigned the Eagles over the Seahawks, losing her another point. Patrick also had an issue which had to be addressed.

The result is a need to republish the stats for week 12. The following is the official league stats for week 12.

Thanks again to Wayne, Judy and Patrick for checking their stats and notifying the main office and the auditor. Interestingly, Guido noted that no one caught the fact that he or she was assigned an extra point for a losing Lions pick, including the Commish. He immediately lurched into a conspiracy theory about the picks, the members and various political screeds.

If the following is not totally correct, write to the blog suggesting further investigation.







Thursday, November 28, 2019

You did pick the Seahawks

Judy - I checked with our Commish, and you did in fact pick the Seahawks over the Eagles in Week No. 12.  We have made the corrections.

This improved your record for the week to 12-2, and when you add that to your previous 105 points, you now have 117 points through week 12.

You're welcome.


Omaha

Checking

Hi commish,  could you check and see if I picked the eagles?  I had Seahawks on my end.

to Jude

According to the picks chart that was posted prior to the games, Judy, you picked the Eagles to win the Eagles-Seahawks game.  The Seahawks won 17-9.

If you didn't pick the Eagles, you will have to take that up with our Commish.

Thanksgiving Day Picks

Thanksgiving Week


1. The Commish thanks Cousin Wayne for his hard work on the weekly audits. While it is hard for Guido to admit mistakes, the Commish is determined to make the GoZone Football League the most transparent and responsive as possible. With this in mind, members should contact Wayne by posting their corrections (as many do) so that both the Commish and Wayne will get the same information. Thanks again to Wayne for a job well done.

2. Members should note that there are three games on Thursday, starting at 1:00. Failure to submit your picks will result in being assigned the home team.

3. Guido sends his regards to league members. He wishes them a great thanksgiving, and reminds them that he "knows people" who can and will take care of "problems."



Correction

 I also won the Seahawks game. Should put me to 12-2

Stats

Omaha needs a new pencil sharpener which he will undoubtedly put on his expense account. Surely he will add in the additional Advil required to complete the job.
Guido doesn't own a pencil.
Gracie ate the Commish’s pencil.
The home office is undergoing some transition. That would be going from bad to worse.
The Commish has conveniently forgot about the league amendment Section TB12 Article 12 which clearly states that any league member who runs the table on a given week will be rewarded with a 2 point bonus to their total. He stated that this would require too much erasing for the auditor. Something has to be done about this Goodell-type of leadership.
Rise up members! Not so loudly though as to wake up The Ghost.
Lastly, it appears the Royce family cheated(again) coming in all 12-2. Omaha , please re-audit the Westmoreland Wannabees!

Best to all
Delightful Deland

Correct

Correct. With the Skins over the Lions corrected it comes out to 120. Although the previous points total should be 109 not 108.

The Commish got to the correct total of 120 by making two errors that cancelled each other out.

In some alternate reality, probably where Guido lives, perhaps the Lions did win.

This is fine.

Tuesday, November 26, 2019

Sheesh, this job is killing me...

Actually Patrick, your correct score is 120.

But I'm afraid I'll have to call the Commish and straighten this mess out.

The Commish shows the Lions beating the Redskins in Week 12, when actually the Redskins won the game, 19-14.

All of us who picked the Lions lost, while Jude The Prude, as the only player who picked the Redskins, is the only winner of that game.

Points total incorrect

My points total should be 121. My points total for last week was 109 (it had been incorrectly listed as 110). So 109 + 12=121.

Errors, Errors Everywhere

Commish,

I should have the Seahawks over the Eagles and the Packers over the niners.

I'm assuming this is Guido's fault since the exalted Commissioner would never make such errors.

I know it's easy to confuse these bird based teams when you are day drinking. So Guido STOP the day drinking.

So says the King in the North.

PS  Wayne, keep up the good work. You're the hero this pool needs.

Week 11 Audit

Whew!  I hardly know where to begin.

It was a bad week for the Commish, creating a lot of work for me.

1  Patrick.  In his list of Week 11 picks the Commish showed Patrick picking the Bills over the Phins.  After Sunday's games, Patrick posted to the Commish that he had actually picked the Phins, who lost. 

The Commish ignored Patrick's honesty, credited him with a Bills win and a 11-3 record, when he actually had a 10-4 record for the week.

Thus, Patrick's corrected Week 11 stats should read:   Week Record           10-4
                                                                                      Monday Night          1
                                                                                      Week's Pts               11
                                                                                       Previous Pts.           98
                                                                                       Total Points             109

I commend Patrick for his honesty - Deland and the Commish no doubt consider him a schmuck.

2.  Kirk.  Kirk was 10-4 for the week, the Commish correctly gives him 4 X's, yet incorrectly shows him 11-3 for the week and an incorrect Total Points of 104.

Thus, Kirk's corrected Week 11 stats should read:       Week Record            10-4
                                                                                      Monday Night            1   
                                                                                      Week's Pts.                11
                                                                                       Previous Total          92
                                                                                       Total Pts                   103

3.  Peterboro.  Last week the Commish made a simple math error, failing to add in his correct Monday night pick, resulting in an incorrect new total points score of 99, which I corrected to 100 total points.

The Commish failed to make the correction, again shorting Peterboro 1 point.

Thus, Peterboro's correct Week 11 stats should read:    Previous Pts             100
                                                                                        Total Pts.                 112

A Week to super-audit

First, congrats to Ryan for running the table this week. Second, Omaha please comb thru and triple-audit his picks. The King of the North suspects coercion and flat-out cheating from the Westy-not-so-Beaty. This may lead to an investigation highlighted by interviews with Guido, The Commish and half the population of Westmoreland(7).

Dutifully,
Deland

Both Deland and Jude The Prude are welcome to audit the official auditor if they wish.

Another audit

Yo Commish,

I had the Fins over the Bills.... regrettably.

Audit indeed

It has become woefully apparent that the league needs to conduct an audit of the self-appointed auditor self-charged with auditing the weekly auditable stats. Jude the Pride would be the most qualified owner to lead the audit knowing intensely the antics of Omaha. We should expect the audit of the audit of the auditor to be completed by the summer meeting.
Best to all,
Humble Deland

Week 10 Audit

Oops.

After racing his way through the first 9 weeks with only one audit error, our Commish stumbled in week 10, making 3 errors.

1.  Ryan picked the Bears against the Lions, and the Bears won.

Our Commish in his final stats for the week mistakenly showed Ryan picking the Lions, thus charging Ryan with a loss he didn't incur.

I have handled the error with our Commish, and he has corrected Ryan's score from 3-10 to 4-9 for a corrected grand total of 100.

2.  The Commish also failed to add one point for Luke, who correctly picked the Monday night winner.  I have corrected his new total to 101 instead of the the 100 our Commish gave him.

3.  Also, our Commish made a typo on Peg's total score.  I corrected her total score to 94 instead of the 04 he gave her.

Comparison with Last Year


GG Gonzales has been quite disgusted with the poor showing of the league this year and claims that this year's totals so far were well below last year at the same time.

So, an investigation was in order.



The stats are interesting. Last year we had amassed 1125 total points for an average of 62.5. This year we have a total of 1092 points for an average of 60.6.

So, GG is both right and wrong. This year is behind last year's pace, but not by all that much.Windsor Locks is ahead of her pace from last year, as is the Commish, Peterborough, the Mother of Cats, the Duke of Deland, the Boss, and Big Bird. 

In a marvel of consistency, The King of the North has the exact same points as last year!

Last year at this time, Big Red and Nashua were tied for the lead with 68 points. (Big Red would go on to win the regular season.) This year, the Boss leads the league with, you guessed it, 68 points.

GG claims there is a conspiracy and the totals have been altered by someone, probably Omaha. But facts are facts, even in this day and age. “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past,” as Fitzgerald so perceptively wrote.
