2026 Death Pool Official Rules The objective of this pool is to compile a list (roster) of individuals whom you predict will pass away during the 2026 calendar year. Participation and Roster Creation · Roster Size: Each valid entry must consist of a roster of exactly 10 different individuals. · Eligibility Criteria: All selected individuals must be at least 18 years old at the time of your entry submission. People currently on death row are strictly prohibited selections. Registered users of FFToday and/or theDanZone are ineligible to be selected for any roster. Animals are not permitted as selections. · Fame Requirement: All selections must be generally recognizable public figures (e.g., celebrities, politicians, prominent athletes). They must be well-known enough that their name can be quickly verified via a standard Google or Wikipedia search. You cannot select private citizens such as neighbors or teachers. · Naming Conventions: Full and correct legal names are required. Avoid descriptive placeholders such as "Steve Irwin's baby" or "Michael Jackson's accuser." · Entry Limit and Submission: Participants may submit multiple entries. However, the entry with the latest timestamp will be considered the valid entry; all prior submissions are immediately voided. Pool Timeline · Start Date: January 1, 2026, at 12:00 AM ET. · End Date: December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. Scoring and Standings · Scoring Method: A person's score is calculated by subtracting their age at the time of death from 100 points (Score = 100 - Age). Higher scores are better. · Roster Management: Rosters are final once submitted (and not subsequently voided by a newer submission). There will be no mid-year trading of selections or free-agent pickups. · Age Verification: If multiple ages are reported for a deceased person across different news sources, the age listed most frequently across reliable sources will be used as the official age for scoring purposes. · Standings: The official standings will be ranked first by the total number of points scored, and second (as a tiebreaker) by the total number of correctly predicted deaths. Administration and Dispute Resolution · Spelling: Please make every effort to spell names correctly to ensure accurate tracking and scoring (this is especially important for names with complex spellings). · Commissioner's Ruling: In the event of any rule dispute or unforeseen circumstance not covered by these rules, the commissioner retains all authority and will have the final say. >>>> DEATH POOL ENTRY FORM <<<<

Seven so far... I am guessing a fair amount of people that are planning on entering might be using that process as well...

Now that would be interesting for sure...

The deadline is in one week from today... All rosters are due by 11:59pm ET on December 31, 2025...

I think that link is longer than the article...

It didn't, which was unfortunate... I just think that with 12 teams and playing everyone twice is a good thing, IMO, but that is just my thoughts on the matter... Of course you guys can do what you want and need... The reasoning behind wanting to change it is very sound...

CBS

Each team won’t be played twice…

Not that I would have watched, but THANK GOD for them not making the playoffs...

Not just the NFL, but there are many things across the college game and the NFL that irks me... If you have a mouth guard on your facemask, put the damn thing in your mouth or remove it... Also, why does one need to have two-or-more hanging? 95% of the players signaling a first down after getting one... Thanks for letting us know that you got it and it is all you... Flexing after catching the ball or running the ball... After a nice return or an interception, the entire team on the field must run to the end zone and showboat like idiots... Pretty sure that there are more...

You don't say... https://deadline.com/2025/12/late-night-tv-more-liberal-2025-study-1236655871/ Late-night television has had a wounding year; The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was canceled ahead of David Ellison’s purchase of Paramount, Jimmy Kimmel was taken off air following a furor around Charlie Kirk’s murder and CBS axed its 12:30am slot. Pressure from the right, whether direct in Kimmel’s case or implied in Colbert’s, was a defining feature of the year for the sector so it’s not a huge surprise that the content of these shows got more liberal, according to a new study. The Media Research Center, a conservative watchdog group which is part-funded by Republican donor Robert Mercer, clocked that 92% of jokes told on the six nightly late-night shows were aimed at conservatives. The group analyzed jokes from Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers, and CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert from January 6 through December 19, as well as jokes told on After Midnight until its cancellation on June 12. It found that of the 13,097 political jokes told, some 12,011 were about figures such as President Trump, Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr and Pete Hegseth. This 92% figure was up from the 82% last year, per the study. Liberals were the butt of the joke just 982 times across 818 episodes, which was the first time in the study’s history that this joke count failed to reach quadruple digits. Melania Trump, President Biden, JD Vance and Eric Trump rounded out the top ten alongside general MAGA/Trump supporters and Republicans. Party leadership, however, was fairly even with late-night hosts mocking Mike Johnson around the same amount as they mocked Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Real America’s Voice’s Brian Glenn was the most joked-about conservative media personality. The study found that Kimmel was the biggest source of gags against the right with 97% of his 3,046 jokes about them, understandable given that Trump and his FCC commissioner Brendan Carr went after him so directly. Colbert was next with 92% of his jokes aimed at Republicans, again, understandable given that he was canceled days after accusing his parent company Paramount of making a “bigfatbribe” to settle a lawsuit with the President to smooth over a deal with Ellison. The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon hosted the most number of shows this year with 161 episodes but had the lowest percentage of jokes against Republicans with 89%.

Craig Ferguson was the best late night host IMO... Johnny and Dave had their moments, but CraigyFerg was the best...

*you're...

Still crushing it this year... A shade under 29 PPG and shooting 71%...

Shorting it a week will make it unbalanced schedule... Personally if you guys don't want to play the final week of the season, there are two options IMO... Keep the regular season at 22 weeks and only the top four make the playoffs... Switch to roto... Either way, I would wait to make any decisions until the game is released for the upcoming season and see what is offered, as something better might be available...

God help us...

You "snap" the ball, you don't "hike" it...

Once he is gone and the board is changed back, it will come down...

I guess I was wrong on it not "just happening"... Anyway, around the DC area, I doubt that "Trump-Kennedy Center" will be spoken much, for the NOTUS... https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/19/politics/kennedy-center-trump-sign

I wouldn't worry about it... No one will call it that... Trump is such an asshat... Tough to back someone as much of a narcissist and a human douche...

Did the plane burst into the "thread starter username"?
