The typical old-fogey argument against all the research about fourth-down probabilities is that those stats don’t take into account the actual strengths and weaknesses of the teams on the field

yeah, I know. Why would a coach consider the strengths and weaknesses of his team and his opponent when he can simply pull out his calculator instead?

Y’know, there’s a topical ointment for that.

/hangs my head, not smh

“does he have the…mental necessities to coach the position?”

Is Bryce Harper wearing red contacts?

Still got a virus, maybe? Pinkeye?

Y’know, there’s a topical ointment for that.

Consider the similarities that Cam Newton had with JaMarcus Russell. Both played at SEC schools, in BCS bowl games, both were the first overall pick, and one year stars in college

Don’t forget Purple Drank.

Jim Joyce at first today. I agree with you. He beat the throw.

I’m still a little sour about the Galarraga call

Felt bad about the 2nd one but I work in a hospital and know it’s not a stereotype.

My mom and one of my sisters are, as was my great-aunt. Tough way to go. And, lack of awareness coupled with poor dietary choices increase the risk.

Espinosa was safe!

Nats are in hot water, SROD. E-Jax throwing straight line fastballs and the slider isn’t sliding. That three run bomb was a haymaker.

The Cards are a very good team in the post-season. I can’t explain it, but they seem to be poised & they take advantage of opportunities.

And, Jackson is free to go at any time. “Don’t go away mad…(snort)…just go away. You been told.”

Elaborate. I’m just curious

Blacks have a higher chance of getting diabetes?

Elaborate. I’m just curious

They both enjoy a good sulk

I really wish you were on Twitter, btw.

Cam and Cutler have more in common in year two, which is more accurate.

Elaborate. I’m just curious.

kozma, kozma, kozma….hmmmm, seems familair

oh right! he cost the braves their season by waving off any help with a popup and camping under the ball to trick the ump and rattle mike bourn into striking out

or he could simply step back and leap over the pile. he is two yards tall no?

Vince Young 6.18 YPA, 15 TD, 19 INT, Cam Newton 8.0 YPA, 25 TD, 22 INT,

Those numbers are actually closer than I thought (passer rating is too completion percentage heavy). I know it hasn’t been THAT long, but if you add in the fact that league averages in things like YPA and TD/Int have probably gone up (i.e. Cam is playing under easier passing conditions), it makes them even closer.

When does the NBA start again?
