Cornhusker on board

Well, we are now living the good life in Nebraska, hopefully far enough away from all the hot air coming out of south Florida.

Once again, congrats to the new defending champ...way to go Patrick.  All but one of us has the class and sense of good sportsmanship to applaud an outstanding performance.

That said, buckle up your chinstraps, 'cause it's a new season!

I see the sign on the Commish's office says "out to lunch."  Of course, he's always been out to lunch.

I'll be getting my picks in over the next few days.

Audible Grunt Part Two

I hear something coming up from Florida and it's not a hurricane, just a lot of hot air and snark full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

It seems during the off season the Commish has temporarily relocated the Commissioner's Office up north. I suspect this is in an attempt to evade owners dissatisfied with the alleged corruption, cronyism and general incompetence of the office. I call for change you can believe in and we built that, whatever that is.

Anyway when will the ceremony to present the Chappie Award to last year's Champion (me) be held? I wish to file a complaint with the Commissioner's Office over this outrageous injustice.

In it to win it again,

Patrick, the Defending Champ.

Enough

Okay, enough of that useless, half-entertaining diatribe fom Patrick. Such a pompous remark "defending champ". He should have been on the convention floor in Tampa! He could have spoken right after Clint. So where are the comments from Connecticut? We should review the decsion to let Diane and Kirk in. Come on Commish! They are silently acting like Cuz Wayne. You know, having no good opinion about any sport ever played.

Yours in football

audible grunt

(Audible grunt).

The wait is over. I’m here.

Greetings to all members, welcome. To all returning members, welcome back to another season of arithmetic errors, asterisks, malcontent members, pending penalty point deductions and various other grievances with the commissioner’s office. To all new members, welcome to the Go Zone, which is only active during the football season apparently. Anyway it’s fun… really it is, right? But seriously welcome all to another exciting season of the NFL here at the Go Zone. Have fun, be safe and drink responsibly while making your picks. Here we go!

Sincerely yours,

Patrick, the Defending Champ.

PS: A reminder, all member dues must be sent to the commissioner’s office ASAP!     

Back At It

To All:
Welcome to Diane and Kirk. Great time at the camp this summer. Nothing is sacred though in the pool.
Where is the welcome from the Chappie Award winner Patrick. Could he please make some type of audible grunt to acknowledge the new year!
Who won the year before? Oh, that was me. No asterisk Brandy.
The commish has been on vacation. It will seem that way all season long.
Cuz Wayne, you can move but you can not hide.
SeanO, I hope you get out of the gate a bit sooner this year.
Jo and Brandy would like daily roster reports on all teams. Not going to happen.
Scott, try to make your own picks this year.
Kate, listen to your one-year-old for advise.
Uncle Ed, best of luck to the phantom picker.


Best to all
The Ex-Defender

Week One Schedule

Here it is, valued GoZone members. The Schedule for Week One.

Of course, the season will not officially open until last year's Chappie Award winner posts his welcome.

The rules are that picks should be emailed, posted to the GoZone or phone to me (239-404-6140) before gametime. It is permissible to send in a Wednesday or Thursday game singularly, then finish the picks by the first game on Sunday.

Any members who do not want to participate this season, please notify me so I can remove your name and image from the pics grid.

It is almost time!

Soon the GoZone Football League will be starting for the 2012 season. I anticipate lots of excitement, new members, and the usual respectful and informative messages from league members. The Commissioner has been meeting daily with the Senior Advisory Committee (SAC) to make changes and improvements to our recent successful season. Last year's winner, Patrick O'Leary, will be sending out his official welcome back message very soon. Until then, the Commissioner urges all to reacquaint themselves with the GoZone blog so access is easy and assured.

The Commish

Congrats to cousin Mike for pulling off a great scam on my friends visiting NH.

Everyone had a great time at my friend Corky's expense.

Way to go, Mike!
