ERROR: Impact is catastrophic

Dear PPP Commissioner Patrick:

Although I have been selected by our Supreme Allied Commander, Mr. Schroeder, to be a member of The Press Publisher’s Advisory Board, and to report back to the Board any errors that might be found in the paper, I felt that this matter could not wait until our next meeting, as it is a matter of utmost urgency (and here is my apology to Mrs. Language Person for the length of this opening sentence).

I believe that what has occurred is a gross abuse of your power as the PPP Commissioner. On page B5 of Thursday’s paper in the Coeur d’Alene Press All Star Pigskin Prognosticators section, you in your power as Commissioner have sent the Pittsburgh Steelers to San Diego on Sunday to play the L.A. Chargers. By doing so you, alone have caused the Steelers an automatic forfeit for not showing up in L.A. to play the game. Although Philip Rivers still resides in San Diego, the team and the games are played in L.A.
