Week 3 Picks
Note: I mistakenly left the Rams-Bengals game off the survey, and the survey cannot be changed after the first person fills it out and sends it. Therefore, that game will mot be counted for this week. This is the way we have handled it in the past as well.

Stats correction
My week 1 stats need to be corrected to 8-8.
Week 2 is good. Should have a total of 20 pts so far.

Observations on Week 1
Some Observations from the Commish:
- The Carnage! The first few weeks of the new season are always fraught with bad picks, as most people are still evaluating teams from last year. But this week was particularly difficult for many members. Lindsey and Mike had off weeks to start, both with 6-10 efforts. But we are comforted to know that Kevin was even worse at 5-11. And Kev draws solace from the fact that Diane and Marcus had 4-12 weeks.
- Ed had a bit of an off week. Last year, he won the regular season and successfully stayed away from many off weeks. At 7-9 he was not too bad, but he had few weeks like this last year.
- Nick Leads that pack. Nick got off to a strong start with 11 points. Nick and I go back a long way and I am happy to see him start so well. He made some prescient picks, despite Deland calling him "lucky" and demanding an investigation into the matter. Guido also wants one, but he always wants one anyway.
- The Pats lost, despite winning virtually every statistic in the game except for points scored. It seems to me that the Eagles were simply toying with the Pats, putting in their veteran first stringers when things got tight at the end of the fourth quarter. I don't think the Eagles showed them much respect, and in crunch time, the Eagles dominated.

You did pick the Dolphins. I have changed both the picks chart and the stats chart to reflect that.. I won't republish the two charts, but they contain the corrected totals going forward.
Nice week for Nick!
Dn't forget Thursday nigtt.

Wayne's Surgery
Welcome back to the GoZone Fottball league! At our recent banquet Ed and Peg were honored for their championships (regular season and playoffs). The hit of the afternoon was Nolan, who worked the room and ended up dancing for the Commish!
And, in other pleasant news, Cousin Wayne came through double by-pass surgery vert well, and will be home soon. Just before the surgery, Wayne gleefully plugged his beloved Nebraska Volleyball team, and they responded by playing (and winning) in front of 90,000 people, a record for women's sports in America.
We are happy for Wayne and wish him a speedy recovery.
