Reilly, Whitlock and Simmons: A Statistical Analysis of the Words They Use
This involves Bayes’ Theorem and the Law of Total Probability. Strap in. The Harvard Sports Analysis Collective took all of the columns written by Rick Reilly, Jason Whitlock and Bill Simmons from Nov. 2009 – Oct 2010 and “ran a word frequency macro in Microsoft Word to determine the number of times each word appeared.”
To no surprise, the word that popped up for Bill Simmons most frequently: “Boston.”
Whitlock: “Favre.”
Reilly: “Anybody.”
A quick parsing of the charts – six of Whitlock’s 10 most-used words are NFL-related. Two are media-related. Two of Reilly’s most-used words are golf related. If you were shown the rest of his Top 10 words and had no clue who used them, you probably wouldn’t guess, “this guy is a highly-paid columnist for the largest sports entity in the world.” Three interesting words in Simmons’ Top 10 – “picks”, “trade” and strangely, “Suns.”

whitlock also likes to use the word slavery to describe things that arent anything like slavery.
November 11th, 2010 at 2:07 PM
Simmons: “Boston.”
No surprise really. He is still the “Boston Sports Guy” at heart and it’s a sign that he’s not grown in his writing.
Whitlock: “Favre.”
Really? That does surprise me. I’d have thought it’d be “Sexy” or “Blaaaaaaaaaaack”.
Reilly: “Anybody.”
Not a suprise. Reilly has been mailing in his columns for close to a decade now. He would use milquetoast language.
November 11th, 2010 at 2:07 PM
Reilly’s adverbs and adjectives essentially are a microcosm of his vocabulary. It’s like listening to a pro athlete do an interview and they describe everything as “unbelievable”.
I’d like this done on Peter King.

I love Red Zone for days when the Saints have a late game or when they’re on a bye (like this week). It’s 6 hours of nonstop football without a single lame beer/insurance/NFL gear ad.

a bunch of gross nobodies and stupid stereotypes on the run from a world overrun by zombies, using the exact same storylines as every other show/movie ever has regarding zombies, since there’s really only two or three things zombies do?

I’m not saying its necessarily a terrible show (though I think the dialogue has been pretty terrible) just that, as Dirt said, its nothing that we haven’t seen a thousand times before.

Re: kid in the fast car
Him driving away with the horn blaring will probably attract them. That’s likely his a purposely planted storytelling device. We’ll see some zombies show up at the camp soon.
Plus, if you remember the dialogue, he said he went into Atlanta by himself to get supplies. This time, he happened to bring some other people with him. He was getting the fuck outta there. Wouldn’t you? Why would you drive around the zombie-infested streets of Atlanta waiting for the big delivery truck full of people who hardly know and who you don’t even know are alive? I’d be gone, too.

he was in the group, that’s how the group got there. He had the radio, the group’s radio.
He was just enjoying a free moment in the stupid car, wasting gas and feeling the wind in his hair because the world was completely dead. Industry standard light-spirited dystopian moment.

November 11th, 2010 at 2:50 PM
And maybe i’m being too generous, but it’s my understanding that it doesn’t take much for the zombies to figure out shit. I mean, they’re zombies. Anything abnormal to them (that basically doesn’t smell dead) is going to stick out. Even the slightest scent of flesh.
November 11th, 2010 at 2:50 PM

November 11th, 2010 at 2:50 PM
Ok wait… so he was part of the group of refugees including the cop’s wife and best friend who went into Atlanta for supplies? Or did he just happen to be in Atlanta and run into them there?
November 11th, 2010 at 2:53 PM
What I gathered from the dialogue was that he normally heads into Atlanta by himself for supplies. But this time he brought some people from the camp along. I don’t know if it was for more supplies or because they were curious or what.
November 11th, 2010 at 2:53 PM
Ok wait… so he was part of the group of refugees including the cop’s wife and best friend who went into Atlanta for supplies?
I say yes to this. I say no to his being in Atlanta on his own surrounded by zombies. I don’t understand what they needed at a department store, either, or why they had to go into Atlanta downtown.
Atlanta is 100 miles across and a hundred miles up and down. There’s strip malls everywhere, and home depots and grocery stores and what not.
November 11th, 2010 at 2:55 PM

So a twelve part the Road?
it was a virus though, not a nuclear holocaust, and a lot of people lived, like 1% of the population or so. Not really the Road. Nothing that bleak.
I’m not saying it was good, but this whole band together thing was just on my list of shitty shows.
November 11th, 2010 at 2:57 PM
when I say not a nuclear holocaust, I mean the world was alive. They weren’t eating shoe leather and other people.

What I don’t get is how the zombies just wander around slowly but can suddenly sprint like track stars and climb fences the second they smell or hear something alive.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:01 PM
Definitely not. You have “casual fan” written all over you if you do this.

but with all British people, and lots of racism. And a mother’s quest to find her son who isn’t dead, but no one believed her. But she knew. It was awful, and it really made an hour seem like a long time.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:02 PM
Anyone else read World War Z? Highly recommended if you like the zombie genre.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:03 PM
I hope I don’t sound like a prick, but this is pretty much the way I understand how zombies have always worked.
Except 28 Days/Months Later. Those zombies were 100% all the time.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:03 PM
They like to conserve their energy when live human flesh isnt around?
November 11th, 2010 at 3:04 PM

in a zombie ridden future, women give sex away far more freely, because there’s nothing else to escape with. Never mind the possibility of getting pregg-o and then having to zombie run carrying a baby.
A zombie baby would be pretty cool. This show should get an animatronic zombie newborn who walks, but is wee like a newborn.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:04 PM
28 Days Later is the best horror movie ever made, even better than Jaws.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:05 PM
So what Clay is saying that I should just fuck the zombies?
November 11th, 2010 at 3:05 PM
in a zombie ridden future, women give sex away far more freely
Also taking it is a lot more socially acceptable. Because their is no society to create the socially. In conclusion women should avoid zombie ridden future of all kinds if they like having rights.

Yeah, I was referring to 28 Days Later. I’ve heard the praise (and seen the movie to come to such conclusion) but never heard it called “greatest.” No problems with that.
And Quarantine piqued my interest but I’ve never seen it.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:13 PM
that movie had such potential…..but…..then….it……just….fell….apart
November 11th, 2010 at 3:14 PM
28 Days Later was fantastic until they got to the barracks.
But that’s the part where I know one of the guys that’s in it! Also, Jersey, I feel you on Quarantine. I didn’t think it was a great movie but it’s an eternally scary topic for some reason. Trying not to spoil it if people are actually gonna watch it
November 11th, 2010 at 3:14 PM
here’s what im wondering about that…
the main dude was in a coma for what, 2 mos max? i mean, his limbs weren’t that atrophied, and if you’ve seen hard to kill with stephen segal, you know that the atrophy is quite intense when you’re talking about years. plus the flowers were still relatively fresh as in they didn’t turn to dust.
so operating under the assumption that main dude was in a coma for only 2 mos max, didn’t wifey and partner boy move a little quick? i think they were banging before the zombieocalypse.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:16 PM
really? You lost interest when crazy Christopher Eccleston showed up and claimed the women, and had a zombie on a chain out back?
(shrugs) Thought Cillian Murphy was gonna get to be a lot more famouse than he’s managed thus far.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:17 PM
Is it ok if I actually liked Dr. Caligari enough to own it on DVD? I mean, do I have to start dressing like the Monopoly Guy now instead of a clean shaven version of The Dude?
November 11th, 2010 at 3:17 PM
What is this zombie show? What network? Can I go to the network site to catch up?
November 11th, 2010 at 3:17 PM
I think she was fucking his partner before he got shot but that’s just a guess on my part. I really don’t understand how shit went down and one guy was able to come out of a coma alive without either getting the virus or being killed with all those other people outside in the parking lot covered with sheets.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:17 PM
You might be on to something there..
November 11th, 2010 at 3:17 PM

So wait, in a show about the dead coming back to life you are hung up on whether his muscles should have atrophied?
November 11th, 2010 at 3:18 PM
The Living Dead. AMC. Don’t know.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:18 PM
I Am Legend could’ve been better, no doubt. I thought Will Smith was pretty damn good for a guy acting with a dog about 75% of the time.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:18 PM
Whoa… spencer you and I are on the same zombie show wavelength. Spooky.

Zeus, I had that almost exact response to my gf when we watched the premiere. She takes that shit personal, though, cause she’s actually been in a year+ coma before
November 11th, 2010 at 3:19 PM
I think the first episode was on Hulu, not sure about the 2nd. and its The Walking Dead.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:20 PM
Oh, a rare quote fail for me! I usually just typo a bunch of shit
November 11th, 2010 at 3:20 PM
Can I ask for the details? Coma stories fascinate me.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:21 PM
Not a great movie. But you watch that shit at night by yourself. The last couple scenes were enough to make me sleep with the light on.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:21 PM
I think the wife and partner Shane were bumpin uglies before Rick got shot.
I’ve read that he was in the hospital for probably a month. It’s not entirely inconceivable to think that the nurses/doctors were caring for him (IVs, etc.) at least for a few days, maybe longer, while the zombieocalypse was in its early stages.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:22 PM
Here’s the pilot, Texansfan.

Damn, car accident or something? Clearly never experienced anything like that, worst was having my hand in a cast for a couple months, took a while before I could move my fingers properly.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:22 PM
It is a fascinating story – she actually couldn’t walk for 6+ years (including the coma time) from ages 13-19. I’m not sure how many details I can give though because of lawsuits and what not. Seriously. She has a rare form of a rare genetic disease – porphyria
November 11th, 2010 at 3:22 PM
im glad i wasn’t the only one who thought this. my roommate looked at me like i was retarded when i posed that same question.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:23 PM
see, that’s where i disagree. coma patients would be some of the last to receive care in the face of such a worldwide crisis.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:24 PM
It makes sense now that you think about their convo in the car, pre zombie-pocalypse, about the problems they were having at home.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:24 PM
I agree entirely, Jersey, I’m just trying not to spoil it. I’ll put this out there: Quarantine has a brilliant horror movie premise that holds up as scary even though it’s executed pretty poorly
November 11th, 2010 at 3:25 PM
OMG!!! you just blew my mind. i didn’t even remember that convo.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:26 PM
Yeah, I concur.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:26 PM
This I don’t know. We know he woke up at least once (when Shane brought the flowers), so maybe he just sort of drifted in and out of consciousness. He wasn’t just a coma patient, though. He was a gunshot victim. I’d guess he’s gonna get some good care.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:28 PM
Y’all should pick up the compendium, it’s pretty cheap right now.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:29 PM
i viewed that as his last memory before slipping into the coma. could be wrong tho…

But my library will give it to me for free. In book nine he’s missing a hand and Carl is a whiny little bitch.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:31 PM
That conversation was one of the main reasons why I thought they were sleeping together before Rick was in a coma! I’m starting to wonder if the zombie-pocalypse was happening when the partner delivered the flowers. He could have been in a coma for a few weeks before he woke up and heard that guy giving him that get well speech.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:31 PM

For me a shotgun is too messy and too bulky. I don’t intend to have to shoot many of them locked up in my castle.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:41 PM
So at least one side of your fort won’t be susceptible to zombie attack. Unless zombies have gills and can survive in salt water.

I’d rather have 4 possible escape routes, you know after some dumb ass lets them in.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:43 PM
EXACTLY. plus, you can get a boat and make an escape.
lol.
but seriously…check out a youtube of that thing in action. it’s fucking scary.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:44 PM
Wait so boats are no longer an acceptable escape route?
November 11th, 2010 at 3:44 PM
they make these things called “boats”…they’re designed to travel in water at relatively high speeds. dunno if you’ve ever heard of em…
November 11th, 2010 at 3:46 PM
Wait so boats are no longer an acceptable escape route?
You should watch Dawn of the Dead (2004).
November 11th, 2010 at 3:46 PM
but even with a pistol, a .45 acp round would probably be a better choice.
why shoot a golf ball sized hole when you can shoot a softball sized hole?

Splatter in the event I don’t have adequate eye protection or suffered any sort of open wound.

November 11th, 2010 at 3:49 PM
god damn…i see you’ve thought this thru just like i have.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:50 PM
ah, i knew you were going to bring this up…their mistake was landing on the island.
Haha, it was, but how long can you last before you have to hit the shore somewhere? World War Z really lays out the issues associated with boats.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:50 PM
Bingo. There is no way I’d land on the island until I made a full trip around the island to find the best landing spot. My boat would be fully stocked with supplies like guns and ammo so I could take the time to pick my spot AND shoot anything that may run at me when I dock.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:51 PM
The opening scene of 28 Months Later involves zombies and a boat.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:51 PM
Weeks, not Months. Damnit.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:52 PM
you can drop anchor and use the boat as a safe haven out on the water.
this.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:52 PM
My boat would be fully stocked with supplies like guns and ammo
From where? Are you going to have adequate time to gather these supplies before hand and adequate human power to get them to the boat during the inevitable panic?
November 11th, 2010 at 3:53 PM
that’s clearly the worst case scenario. if those 28 weeks later zombies are the real deal, we’re all fucked. i think slow zombies would actuaally be fun to deal with.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:53 PM
you can drop anchor and use the boat as a safe haven out on the water.
Spencer, pick up World War Z, seriously. It’s worth a read.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:54 PM
SG and Spence definitely have a coordinated plan of attack in case of zombpacylpse
November 11th, 2010 at 3:54 PM
From where? Are you going to have adequate time to gather these supplies before hand and adequate human power to get them to the boat during the inevitable panic?
see, the key is not to panic. you hole up, wait for shit to calm down, then formulate a plan.
plus, the biggest gun and ammo and outdoor stores are in areas that aren’t populated. making it easier to stock up without getting zombie’d.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:55 PM
So I just got into the mood to listen to the 28 Days/Weeks theme. What an incredibly terrifying song.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:55 PM
Refinery. If you lose your own self sustained power, you have a shitload of fuel.
M16A4 w optics light, fast and ‘merica. Vest with magazines would be lighter than shotgun shells
Machete.light, durable and sharp
Only those who are skilled and uninjured. They need to pull their own weight and help others build, survive and get supplies
November 11th, 2010 at 3:55 PM
i know…ive heard it’s great. gotta get it.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:55 PM
See, all this talk just adds to my idea that I need to move to Texas as soon as possible.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:56 PM
isn’t that a waste though? wouldn’t you want a holo scope so that you don’t need batteries for the optics?
November 11th, 2010 at 3:56 PM
see, the key is not to panic. you hole up, wait for shit to calm down, then formulate a plan.
Guessing you better have a bunker at home, maybe with some gold too, cause most of the good supplies are getting picked off by looters in the early stages.
For me, I would stay as far away from the water as possible, that’s where the first wave of future zombies are headed.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:57 PM
Geezeus – They’re making it into a movie, apparently. Pitt is going to star.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:59 PM

fuck.
November 11th, 2010 at 3:59 PM
Geezeus – They’re making it into a movie, apparently. Pitt is going to star.
I’d heard that, I’m not sold on the idea though. It’s one of those books that doesn’t seem to lend itself that way to a movie without massive changes.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:03 PM
Irish, you must have had the Machine Gun Kelly poster where he was dressed up like a Prohibition Era gangster on your wall, right?
great memory starkweather, yes i did. wish i had it now
November 11th, 2010 at 4:04 PM
Clearly if I have already created my zombie-free fort I’ve had a decent amount of time spent in the zombie-pocalypse. I’m well aware of the situation. At the first outbreak of zombie disease, I would begin getting my basics together. I would also start researching on how to make weapons out of household items. I don’t necessarily need a gun and ammo. I can amass some good chemicals and make bombs. I’m creative and somewhat intelligent enough to do that on my own. I can also band up with people who have stockpiled guns. I could use horses or other farm animals to pull equipment. ETC ETC
November 11th, 2010 at 4:06 PM
oh, they’d probably be the first to go after the majority of the human race.
one thing i’d have for sure are two trained german shepherds. that’s a must.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:07 PM
Regarding weapons: Wouldn’t you want something quiet or silence as to not attract more Zombies everytime you used it? To me the key to survival is stealth.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:08 PM
Clearly if I have already created my zombie-free fort I’ve had a decent amount of time spent in the zombie-pocalypse.
Go for a place that’s cold, zombies freeze, you can venture out for supplies in the winter months.
I don’t necessarily need a gun and ammo. I can amass some good chemicals and make bombs
Chemicals and bombs would be just as dangerous to you without serious experience. Unless you make a perfect shot and destroy the brain they are still coming (remember ep 1 of The Walking Dead with the half of a corpse still coming after him).
I can also band up with people who have stockpiled guns. I could use horses or other farm animals to pull equipment. ETC ETC
Sadly farm animals and other domesticates animals will be some of the first to go. How big a boat are we talking for your escape?
/I put entirely too much thought into this
November 11th, 2010 at 4:09 PM
To me the key to survival is stealth.
Melee weapons would be key, Spencer had a good thought with the Halberd.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:09 PM
you won’t find silencers in an outdoor shop and probably wouldn’t be able to access one. plus, that’s what the melee weapon is for.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:10 PM
To think TBL admonished us for having the most pathetic discussion ever not a few hours ago.

Again, a woman’s place in zombieland is as a wet hole. I’m sorry about this, but these are the facts as determined by the history of dystopian futures.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:16 PM
I’m not going to be throwing these things at anyone. I can set them up to explode around my fort.
As for animals, I’m stockpiling. I can manage to keep one horse alive for awhile. Episode 1 of Walking Dead, remember?
I’ll bring my horse and chemical weapons to Spencer, then he and I can pool our resources and create our fort by the water. But don’t expect us to help you when your fort is attacked from all four sides by zombies and you have no way of getting past them.

I’m not going to be throwing these things at anyone. I can set them up to explode around my fort.
Beating a dead horse, but read WWZ, you are just as likely to blow a hole in the wall and let in the horde.
As for animals, I’m stockpiling. I can manage to keep one horse alive for awhile. Episode 1 of Walking Dead, remember?
The horse is nothing more than a plot device. You’re more likely to need to eat it to survive that be able to care for it.
But don’t expect us to help you when your fort is attacked from all four sides by zombies and you have no way of getting past them.
Winter months, I crack some skulls whilst they are frozen in place.

i like this idea. zombies would fall prey quite easily to booby traps.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:22 PM
and it’s really fucking easy to make bombs.

Unless you take out the brain all you are doing is creating a bigger hazard in the event you need to escape. The half corpses are going to be in any weeds or tall grass and you won’t see them.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:27 PM
HENCE THE BOAT.
come on man…i already told you i aint leaving by any way other than boat. the fuck do i care if a bunch of murderball zombies are lying around?
November 11th, 2010 at 4:29 PM
HENCE THE BOAT.
I’m stealing the gas for your damn boat.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:29 PM
WTF is a half corpse going to do to me if I’m wearing clothes? This is dumb. Blowing up zombies is good even if it doesn’t permanently kill them. You’re being entirely too anal about your zombie killing and this will be your downfall.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:31 PM
like hell you are.
exactly. forget the headshot cavalcade, a zombie that’s immobile is dead enough. it’s not like we’re going to be picnic-ing in zombie fields.

Good thing you don’t have thick cankles.

Absolutely false.
You’re being entirely too anal about your zombie killing and this will be your downfall.
My plan would involve as little killing of zombies as possible.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:33 PM
where’s the fun in that?
November 11th, 2010 at 4:33 PM
exactly. forget the headshot cavalcade, a zombie that’s immobile is dead enough.
You will reconsider your position on this, I’m telling you.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:33 PM
219-288 is this.

Take the gas from my refinery. Hell soak up my AC wille you’re at it
November 11th, 2010 at 4:35 PM
perhaps i will, but in lieu of no electronic entertainment, im going to have to get my rocks off somehow. and what better way than shooting a bunch of shit and banging to save the human race inside my impenetrable fort? im going with that for now.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:35 PM
See, spencer and I know what’s up. We’re going to be living in our fort peacefully. We don’t plan on having to interact with zombies unless we’re being attacked, and we will be putting in bombs and zombie traps to make our fort more protected. It will also aide us in our escape should we need to make one.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:35 PM

I pity you and your refinery when Lord Humongous comes for it.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:37 PM
Ill be able to drive off in my boat
November 11th, 2010 at 4:38 PM
P.S. If you don’t think I’ll be using alternative forms of energy in my fort then you don’t know me very well. I already have people in my circle of friends that are engineers, solar panel installers and vegetarians.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:38 PM

This I highly doubt.

Better make a map laying out exactly where they are and how are you going to lay the traps without having to leave the fort?
November 11th, 2010 at 4:40 PM
well no fucking shit. who makes a booby trap and forgets where it is?
not the vietcong, i’ll tell you that much. charlie had that shit on lockdown.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:40 PM

I guess the ‘great panic’ is going to afford you the time to gather your circle of friends, all necessary supplies and tools and meet at some predetermined location.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:41 PM
Fuck it. I’m stealing a Fucking Abrams tank and slaughteing everything I see
November 11th, 2010 at 4:41 PM
i’ll ride shotgun…lemme man the .50 cal. we’ll slaughter thousands.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:42 PM
Aside from me hating Ohio State, spencer and I have lots in common. And in the event we get annoyed with each other, we will retreat to our separate wings in the fort.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:42 PM
As long as I can run over a few
November 11th, 2010 at 4:43 PM
You three are dying in the first wave.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:44 PM
Quit trying to undermine my plans. You’re acting sooooooo canadian right now.
The great panic happens AFTER I’ve already started assembling my team and supplies.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:44 PM
i really don’t think so, bro. texans, maybe…but he’ll take a bunch of them with him. SG and i will be fine. we know what’s up.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:45 PM
That’s a little low, SG.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:46 PM

Haha, I take this as a compliment. This has been fun though, good waste of a couple hours.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:47 PM

Population density will work against you.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:48 PM
Lol you know What would be funny? Doing splinter cell shit with zombies. Sneaking up behind them and stabbing the shit out of them. There is your entertainment Spencer
November 11th, 2010 at 4:48 PM
I am 100% confident in our ability to create, supply and protect a zombie-free, ocean view (or lake view) fort.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:48 PM
Apparently theres a ombie patch in the new Call of Duty.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:49 PM
I appreciate this zombie entertainment.
I was hitting refresh every five minutes while working.
Now, it’s almost 5 p.m. and the work day is over.
November 11th, 2010 at 4:50 PM
I haven’t played the Red Dead Redemption zombie expansion but I hear good things.
