Adding Zero

Those losses can be tricky to add. However, Kev did give some great advice about adding zero this week. Perhaps he can assist with the score.

Where are the results?

Do we even have a commissioner?

Or does he just need more time to "fix" Kev's 6 or so losses?

Week One Picks are in!

 

Some observations:

1. Unanimous picks:  The Eagles over the Rams, the Chargers over the Vikes, and the Patriots over Miami.

2. We'll See. Everyone but the commissioner picked the Chiefs over the Bills,

3. Most evenly divided: Falcons-Bears at 6 and 6, Raiders-Broncos at 6-6.

4. Pretty evenly divided: Cowboys-Jets at 4-8, Giants-Redskins at 8-4, and Steelers-Ravens at 8-4.

5. Gutsy Picks of the Week: The Commish for his Bills pick, Marcus and B-Ry for their Seahawk picks, B-Ry and Lucas for their Panthers picks, B-ry and Scott don't get gutsy picks for their Bucs picks because I think the Bucs are favored in Tampa Bay.

6. Emotional Pick of the Week: Marc said he just couldn't stand picking the Jets, so he went with the Cowboys.

Brandy and Scott:
You may both add zero to your point totals.

Jarring Jo Go-Zone Post

Let the trashtalk continue... it has begun.... Don't forget who came in overall second last season with a few great pics in the end and the undeniable correct answer to The Commish's secret question ..... even though my slicing daughter-in-law oh I mean outlaw Brandy tried to convince The Commish that I "cheated!" Thanks Commish for holding strong for me.

Kev's thinks he's leading the way with his trash talk; however, I see Brandy as a major contender and I think she has trumped all prior to Thursday night kickoff. Wayne & Patrick come close. Jarring Jo has decided it is much more interesting reading all the Go-Zone posts than watching any pre-game gibberish on TV (although, I absolutely love the pregame musical groups and music)!!

Commish, you're taking heat already, and justly so. Your job deems it so -- because, of course, you haul down the big bucks in your position. Unlike us lowly GO-Zone participants who only have the wit of pen to voice our opinions be they fair or nasty.

In conclusion, let the games begin, GO, FIGHT (AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A FUN SEASON TO THE END), WIN and I WILL, I WILL ROCK YOU, ROCK YOU !!!!!

Yours in the GO-Zone Spirit, Jarring Jo

Thursday Night Picks

We've created a monster! Wayne insisted—INSISTED—that I post the Thursday night pics before the game! Apparently he thinks that somehow Kevin will benefit if this isn't done. So, here are the picks:

Interestingly enough, the ever resourceful B-Ry (Brandy and Ryan, shortened to fit in the grid) and newcomer Scott have picked the Saints. A very gutsy, and doable, pick. They could jump to the lead if successful!

Let's hope Scott gets me a head and shoulders picture soon!

Also, welcome to Patrick. His picture suggests he is a scruffy rapscallion!

Also, also, I have reordered the picks according to age and the connections to the family. Wayne and Ed, being the oldest if not wisest, are first, and Ed's son Patrick is placed next to him. Then the Commish and his, and then Kevin and his. I anticipate all sorts of conspiracy theories, but the Commish has spoken!

Sean's sabotage

I would like to officially change my pick to the team that is not the Colts. I'm not sure who they are playing, but if Manning isn't playing I wouldn't pick them. I asked Sean if there was any big news I should now. Specifically I asked if there were any QBs out. He said no! He must be intimidated by my performance last season. I'm sure there are other things I don't know about, but I'll stick with the rest of my picks for now. Commish, I will be waiting anxiously with my calculator for the Week 1 score. As for Kevin, you can talk all you want... but Ryan's speech makes more sense than your babble.
