Your Team Cheats


From the website: So you think there's only one NFL team that cheats? You're wrong. All 32 NFL teams cheat. Yup, even your favorite team is a dirty cheater, but since they are not that good, nobody really cares.

The Cowboys have a score of "20", below the league average and my own bias aside, some of the charges are legitimate but picayune, particularly the "salarycapgate" where the 'Boys were penalized by the league for front loading contracts during the 2010 uncapped season.  The problem with that is the contracts were sent to the league office and approved by them. 

The "PEDSgate" is laughable, citing an offensive lineman from 1990 - who was out of the league a year later, the QB coach Wade Wilson, who has diabetes and took a drug in '07 to "enhance his quality of life" and the most recent case from 2014, Orlando Scandrick,  who tested positive for MDMA, aka Molly/Ecstasy - obviously not  taken to enhance performance, but to get high...not that that is an excuse.  Most of the rest are laughable.

The End Is Nigh

Ultimate Apocalyptic Mashup

I recognize quite a few of the movies in this mashup but not all.  Surprising, since post-apocalyptic sci-fi is my favorite theme in both movies and books.

What Energizes You?

Flexibility Energizes You

You see the world as a place full of opportunities and promise. You love to keep your options open.

You aren't the type of person who needs a plan. In fact, too much scheduling can weigh your energy down.

You need as much freedom as possible, and you won't squander it. You put your time and energy to good use.


You don't have expectations about the future, and you are always ready to change course. You try to leave space for new experiences and adventures. 


 



I'd say this quiz is one of the most spot-on of any I've ever taken.  I really don't like schedules and love my freedom, although most of the time I don't put my time and energy to good use.  I certainly don't have expectations about the future, that's for sure.

Yes, flexibility usually energizes me, but there was that time when I dated that nymphomaniac gymnast....
