While his logic might be wrong, your math is still wrong too. The bracket isn't a lottery with 128 billion numbers to choose from, it's 92 quadrillion possibilities each with its own probability of occurring. You can't simply do ((1 - 1/128 billion)^7Billion)^13, it doesn't work like that. The relatively high…

You absolutely are correct. I assume the 1 in 128 billion odds is the estimation of the tournament having zero upsets, which is the most likely outcome of the tournament. However, that's just one possible outcome: there are not 127,999,999,999 other equally likely outcomes for everyone to choose from. The rest of the…

Clearly I've been alone too long because upon seeing the first entry on the list, my immediate reaction was 'Oh, that's not weird at all, it's the name of a website.'

So, what exactly do you have to do to earn a lifetime ban from the Olympics if attempting to rig an event isn't enough? Pete Rose should have taken up skating.

Of course they lose some actual bodyweight as well, but it's still quite different than someone who…

Because if they all played along that it was a sex tape, the media coverage peters out. If one side insists that it's a sex tape while the other insists it's a porno, Jezebel keeps putting up a new story about the controversy every other day for months.

She should consider herself lucky. now she doesn't have to waste her time watching that godawful season.

It's illegal

Do the baseball numbers account for the home team not finishing the bottom of the ninth if winning?

Would you settle for US Senator?

The real bonehead move came on the touchdown before. They scored to make it 28-12, and kicked the XP, when obviously the correct play is to go for your two point conversion there. If you make it, you just need to kick XPs, and if you fail, you can still catch up by going for two on your next two touchdowns. The…

I miss the Chilly era

My favorite play is when Chris Paul made the orange thing go in the round circle - former Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro

How dare Seamus forget about coke dealers.

Keep fighting the good fight, you are not alone.

Double headers in the minors are two seven inning games
