Commissioner Chris Stevens, who oversees league scoring rules, keeper eligibility, and the enforcement of the Shotgun Rule he himself wrote into the bylaws, was on the wrong end of both this week. Rashee-d For Speed fell to Dart Side of The Beer Mile, 115.48 to 90.60, in Week 6 — the franchise's lowest output of the season — while a scoreless outing from tight end Juwan Johnson triggered the Commissioner's second shotgun obligation of the year.

There is no rule against a commissioner having a bad week. There is, however, a certain structural awkwardness in the league's chief enforcement officer being personally subject to the enforcement provision twice in six games, particularly given that the Commissioner also oversees how shotgun compliance footage gets collected and distributed to the group chat.

For what it's worth, no conflict-of-interest complaint has been formally lodged, and the Commissioner's office has not commented beyond acknowledging receipt of this publication's inquiry. Rashee-d For Speed remains a 4–2 team with a path to the top seed. But at 742.24 points for against 623.58 allowed, the margin for further governance-adjacent embarrassment is thinner than the Commissioner might prefer heading into a stretch run he is, nominally, supposed to be officiating from a position of unquestioned authority.
