Commissioner Office News

Cuz Wayne vs. Kevin
The Commissioner has received several allegations the past few days  and inquiries are being undertaken. Cus Wayne (see quoted email below) accuses Kevin of being a poor winner, but that is a given. However,  his more grievious charge is that Kevin is making gratuitous insults against him. This is serious and may call for a sanction.

On a related note, in his latest post, Kevin seems to have gratuitously insulted Wayne, Ed, Brandy, Marc, Luke and even the Commissioner. Alarmingly, accused by Wayne of being a whiner, Kevin calls him "Whining Wayne." Countering a put-down by repeating it is beneath any owner but especially Kevin, who has always shown creativity in his insults. Rest assured that the Commissioner is using all of the powers of his office to get to the bottom of this matter.

Owner Table Order
In another email, The Cuz questions the order of owners in the pick table. The Commissioner determined that the order be by when the ownership joined, he now fears a massive political conflagration over this highly controversial issue. Upon reflection, there does seem to be a gender disparity. All of our distaff owners are on the right of the table. In fact, the order could seem to reflect an age bias as well, but that is The Cuz's suggested solution! I'm sure that Jo, Brandy and the Great Kate might want to weigh in on this as well. Perhaps the determining factor should be family. Or geographic location. Or height. Or SAT scores.  The commissioner has determined that the Board of Owners must meet after the season to resolve this perplexing and complicated issue.

Ed
Patriots hater Ed (or, PHE, pronounced "fuh") mentioned that next season Patrick might join as well. This would help to provide the important intra-family competition needed for robust discussions and put-downs. The Commissioner reminds owners that the competition is open to all family members and people related to Ed as well. Friends require a security check and owner sponsorship. The forms are on the website.

Cuz Wayne's controversial email:

Commish:

Must I be subjected to these constant insults from that whining brother of yours?  I know he's feeling the heat but really, this is getting rather pathetic.

The only thing worse than a poor loser is a poor winner.  Because he holds a razor-thin lead on the field, he seems intent on insulting every member of the blog.  Rather than pick on poor Ed (I realize he's unaware of this) I think we should have a vote to censure that rogue brother of yours.  He must be in love with Sarah Palin.

Honorable cuz w

WW

Commish:
I certainly hope you do not concern yourself with the ongoing petty editorial from the midwest. I fear the cooler weather is taking its toll on poor cuz. I was shocked to see his picks actually put in before the games were played this week. He must be on pins and needles. I also fear he may spend too much time starting the snowblower and may miss the deadline(again). Hence the title WW (Whiner Wayne). I propose Karen for sainthood!! Commish, take care of that.
Lots of across-the-board picks this week. Commish, you're not leaking my picks are you? Got to go see the Ravens-Steelers.

Week 13 Final Picks

It seems Cuz has lowered himself further. I didn't realize that was possible. He now wants his weekly picks shrouded in secrecy. It wasn't enough that he fabricated some email story about getting his picks in on time. He has resorted to another underhanded tactic to try and shuffle his way to the top. Just call him Charlie Rangel!
No one should question the recent vote concerning Ed. We may question Brandy's birdbrain and animalistic picks. It is apparent she has some fixation to birds and animals. Which team is called the monkeys?
Marcus is so confused that rumor has it he is picking the Celtics this week! Poor boy. Commish, it may be too late for him. He must be cooking with too much wine and sherry!!
Cement-foot Luke has no idea who to pick. Is he in love or what?? Commish, these are your boys!!!
I do enjoy the observations that come out of the Commish' office. Does this come from a lack of sleep?
Note: The playoffs are coming and we are all in the hunt! (Sans Uncle Ed)

Best to all,

The Commissioner's Picks

The first six games seem like locks; Eagles over Texans, Packers over 49ers, Saints over the Bungles, Jags over an emotionally depleted Titans, Chiefs over the flailing Broncos, and the improving Bears over the Lions.

The Browns will give the Dolphins trouble, but the Fins are still in the hunt  and are at home.

I think Minnesota is gassed, and Buffalo has played everyone tough. That might be a scary game for the Pats down the road. Buffalo takes it in a squeaker.

The Giants take the Redskins fairly easily as Donovan's time in Washington draws to a close. The same with the Chargers over the unpredictable Raiders.

 

If Arizona had anything left, if would have won last week. The Rams are on the upswing a bit.

 

The Cowboys could give the Colts a game, but the Colts need a win badly and they are at home.

Seattle sucks, but Carolina sucks more and they are playing away.

 

The last three games will be very interesting. All should be close and all could go either way. I am picking the home team in each. Tampa Bay squeezes by the Falcons, Baltimore beats a gimpy Steelers team, and the Pats lead by 14 late, but end up winning by 4.

Luke and Marc

This sure has been a pathetic attempt by Luke and his brother Marc in choosing winners. One must be picking for the other. Did Cuz get his picks in this week or is he out of "do-overs"? As the race tightens, Brandy has become the feisty one. Watch out because she also is getting to know about the strategies associated with whist. She has been forewarned however of the "Ed affect" on that card game. SeanO continues to hang close to the top and its looking like bad sellout weeks only belong to the Peterborough brothers. Someone picked the Panthers this week. I did check the schedule for I thought maybe I missed that they were playing a high school team or had a bye, but they are playing a professional team.

On another note, Uncle Sam had a knee replacement procedure done last wednesday and he reports he will be ready for golf in the spring. Spring is in June up there.

Note to the Commish: I am able to post by going directly to the blog website but not through the "favorites". That is where it tells me my invitation has expired and to contact Mike O for another invitation. All along I just thought this is what happens to the frontrunners in the pool.

My next press conference is scheduled for tomorrow at 10am. At 9am I will lodge a formal protest that I did not really pick the teams that lost for me. I meant to choose the other team but I needed more time. Just about all my time and attention has gone toward finding out from the Commish when,if,why and how Cuz is still in this game!! Such a midwest whine!!!!!!!! There have been no WikiLeaks out of the Commish!!
