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.
