I know. Hey Sphere - to save time having to score two people, just assume that I’ll pick whoever WannaB picks from now on.
That reminds me of something that happened when I was in college the first time. I was taking a Social Studies test that had multiple pages. I turned the first page and noticed that a guy behind me and to the left a little bit turned his at the same time. That made me think that he was copying me.
I watched him out of the corner of my eye. I didn’t write an answer for a minute, and neither did he. I purposely wrote a wrong answer, and he wrote an answer. I waited a bit longer, and so did he. I had him. For four pages I wrote deliberately wrong answers. He copied every single one of them.
After he got up and left, I erased my answers and reanswered them. After I finished, I told the teacher what had happened. She told me that I could retake the test if I wanted. I did, and made like a 70, which shows that the guy must have been a real dumbass for thinking that it was smart to copy my answers.
He ended up getting a 32 on the test. He was on the baseball team, and two other guys copied him but were apparently smart enough to question some of my answers. They still failed though.
Now that I know I’ve been cheating off of the wrong guys test
I’ve been looking up who the “smart people” at ESPN are picking and pretty much going with the consensus and you can see where it has gotten me….
I’ve tried at least three different methods for picking my winners and (except for one week), the results have been universally bad.
Don’t copy my exam!
I’m trying to help yous guys out here. Draw a line between the teams playing each other and pick the higher one. If they’re on the same line, pick the home team or your favorite color.

TIL that NFL Hall of Famer, Jared Allen, is now a professional curler. He’s currently competing in the Grand Slam of Curling tournament in Lake Tahoe. The dude is so strong, he snapped his broom trying to curl the rock into the house:

Tragic news coming out of Dallas today. Per Frisco PD, Cowboys DL dead of apparent suicide following a police chase:
FRISCO, TX – A man was found deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound following an outside agency vehicle pursuit that led to a multi-agency search in Frisco.
On November 5, 2025, at approximately 10:39 p.m., the Frisco Police Department responded to assist the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) with locating a vehicle that had evaded troopers during a pursuit that entered the city of Frisco. After losing visual of the vehicle, troopers located it minutes later, crashed on southbound Dallas Parkway near Warren Parkway.
Initial reports indicated that a male subject, later identified as 24-year-old Marshawn Kneeland of Plano, TX fled the scene on foot. Officers established a perimeter and initiated a search of the area with the assistance of the FPD K-9 and Drone units.
During the course of the search, officers received information that Kneeland had expressed suicidal ideations. Kneeland was later located at 1:31a.m., deceased with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The cause/manner of death will be determined by the Collin County Medical Examiner’s Office.
At this time, no further details will be released as the investigation remains ongoing.
Our heartfelt condolences to the Kneeland family and friends.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Please call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. You are not alone.
Wonder if CTE was a factor?
Probably 10+ years of impact football by age 24, certainly possible.
