The Audit

Here's how my audit works:

Each week when the Commish posts the picks chart, I print a hard copy.  I add 5 lines at the bottom of the chart, just as our Commish does, to record the following:

1. W-L

2. Monday Night's game

3. Total points for the week (the total of 1 & 2

4. Previous total pts.

5. Total Points (the total of 3 & 4)

I record the outcome of each game, placing an "X" in squares where a player picked a loser, and leaving the square "clean" when the player picks the winner.

When completed, this chart looks identical to the Commish's chart he publishes on Tuesday.

Or does it?

Though it should, sometimes it doesn't.  So, which one of us has the correct updated chart? 
I review both charts to see if I have made a mistake, or did the Commish.

This involves going back and double checking if I recorded the results correctly, did the Commish record results correctly.  Sometimes the error jumps right out at you, sometimes not.

This past week we had two charts posted by the Commish, one showing Peg picked the Pats, and the second showing she picked the 49ers.  I, of course, had only the pre-games chart to work with.  It's not unheard of for someone to call the Commish and change their pick, but I had no way of knowing if that happened here.

So, I pointed out the discrepancy and asked the Commish for his response.

Then all hell broke lose.  The Commish said he never has and isn't about to notify me of changes that
might come up.  And then came his personal attacks.  These weren't the normal humorous personal attacks us cousins engage in constantly for the fun of it.  It was mean-spirited and well, bullshit.

But - so be it.

Things that make you go. Huh

 A building inspector is called to a job by a contractor. Young smart ass inspector shows up on the job and gives the elder contract a bunch of crap. Elder says to inspector “I didn’t go to school with you”. Perplexed inspector says “what are you talking about”? Elder explained ~ it’s little dweebs like you that were picked on in school that decide to flex your muscles and give everyone a hard time.

Coach runs out to the umpire and berates the previous call. Coach goes back to the dug out and the assistant coach asks “why did you do that when you new the call was right. Coach replies “ the next time the referee makes a call ~ He will second guess himself. 

Commish,

Is it just me or do you see a little of this going on?

Touchy toddlers

 Now boys, I am sure this unfortunate incident can be rectified. First, there is more than a hint of preferential treatment toward one unnamed league member—Peg. However, with the usual sketchy picks details, there seems to be a window open as to picks legally being changed prior to the kneeling national anthem. With that said, no one really has a handle on the inner workings of Guido and the home office. Omaha, you need to give The Commish the benefit of the doubt which there is much of. In return, Commish, you need not scold Omaha for merely asking what the hell is going on. Omaha, the word bullshit is currently the status of Boston sports. Now both of you go back to your various committees, find your glasses, sit in the easy chair and re-take your blood pressure. Ok, things are normal and the league is fixed.

bullshit

 What a bullshit answer the Commish gave me to my legitimate question.  Even Trump can't tell that many lies in five sentences.

Don't Omaha the Bed on Peg's Pick

 The usually reliable relic in Omaha has caught what he sees as an error. The fact is that Peg called me and informed me that she picked against the Pats. I checked the surveymonkey results and determined that she indeed did pick the 49ers. Omaha would not know this because I never have and I never will hold up all league business until he has been informed of all the details. I have done the same for many league members, including Omaha. As a matter of fact, I have checked on his picks by his request many times over the years. For a while there, every pick he lost he demanded I check to see if he indeed did make the losing pick. We took care of it then as we do now. 

The incident does however serve as a quality check on the self-styled auditor of the league. He caught the change as he should and reported out well. 

So, thanks to Omaha, we can all be rest assured that the GoZone is totally up to date and accurate.

Week 7 Audit

Hmmmm, something is amiss with the results on the Commish's  Week 7 results.

Prior to the week's games being played, the Commish posted the picks of all the players.  He showed Peg picking the Pats over the 49ers, as did we all.

I can find no mention prior to the Pat's game that Peg changed her pick to the 49ers.

Yet, in his results post today, he shows Peg picking the 49ers over the Pats, giving her a 9-5 record for the week and a total of 62 points after 7 weeks.

My audit show Peg picked the Pats, thus had a record of  8-6 for the week, and a total of 61 points through 7 weeks.

What is your response to this, Commish?


Ever vigilant,
