An interesting article! Thank you for posting the link. * After reading the article, it reminds me of all the problems that those running the pools can have. A coworker finally became frustrated with chasing other employees, and started skimming 10% off the top. There were times when the game was over, and Tony was still chasing participants for their $10 fee, so he could pay out to the winners. A few balked, and Tony finally quit running the pool. * Another coworker at a different plant ran a season long Bills pool. Grid filled up before season opener, and you kept your square the whole season. A ridiculously low price (4 squares for $1, I think. Hey, it was the 80s!). John always had someone not in the pool draw the week's numbers on the Friday before the game. New masking tape, and "we're on to the next game!" 😁

Maybe he's managing the new Jacksonville location of 'La Traila BBQ'? 🤔

Well, we have the perfect sampling of fans here at TSW to 'git-r-dun'. 😁

I don't know which option is more painful...getting a pair of 'dud' numbers in the draw ("oh, 8 and 5!" 🤨), or watching your numbers winning a quarter until some yo-yo picks up a fumble, and runs it in with 6 seconds left in the quarter. 🙁

"I don't care!!! Ludicrous trade, now!!!"

"You're not half the player your brother is!" 🤬 * Then the next game, just switch it up. 😁

This place is starting to look and sound like 'Bye Bye Birdie'. 🤨 🎵We love you Daboll🎶 🎶Oh yes, we do.🎵 🎵We don't know anyone,🎶 🎶We love like you!🎵 🎵You're not near us,🎶 🎶We're blue. 🙁🎵 🎵Oh, Daboll, we love you!🎶

Is that a complement, or a condemnation? Around here, that depends on who you talk to. I still haven't figured out if Tremaine Edmunds is a Pro Bowler, or should be bowling in a beer league and working at Chevy River Road. 🤔

What year were you born? Would you consider having a DNA test done? Your 'theatre of the absurd' writing has me wondering...🤔 * 😁

Variation on the 'Mr. Miyagi Method': "Ball in, ball out..." 🤨

Actually, Patriots get comp picks. The Chiefs go down to the slammer with these:

Well, if both teams exchange players who are related, isn't there some sort of cancellation of salary cap considerations? 🤔

You people will do anything to start a backdoor 'Dump Edmunds!' thread 🤨(Trubisky to Buffalo for Edmunds, straight up.)

Have some decorum! 🤨 * 😉😁 The 'change of every score' is a new one to me. I seem to recall almost exclusively by quarters; a few by halftime and end of regulation time.

Being retired, I no longer have been around workplace or gin mill settings where the ten by ten grids are popular. Who are our 'high roller' participants? Are you in any unique pools? I recall years ago, one of the office girls ran one that had so many winners (by quarters, edge touch, corner touch) that maybe 3 people came away without winning something. She also was a saint and paid out 100%.

Kid, when you're my age, 'iPad' is analogous to 'Kleenex'. Subbing a brand name for what the item is. 😁

AAAAAUUGGHHH!

Someone good at iPad repairs? 🤔

The only logical choice for the replacement, based upon collegiate pedigree, past performance, and TBD-TSW fanboy bias: 🌟ROBERT FOSTER🌟 * 😁

Multiple reactions! 🍺🏆🤣

From Merrill Reese's mouth to God's ear. Oh, wait, Kyler Murray's mouth. Aw, Hell, no! "Hello, Frenchy? 5k on the Bills next season!"

FAKE NEWS!!! Where's Hackett on this list?! 🤔🤨 * 😁

Is murdering the king's English sufficient?
