"The problem with typewriters was that they used monospaced type—that is, every character occupied an equal amount of horizontal space. This bucked a long tradition of proportional typesetting, in which skinny characters (like I or 1) were given less space than fat ones (like W or M). Monospaced type gives you text…

Not riding fucking motorcycles saves more.

Gosh, do you really find it that complicated? Seems to me there's a stark difference between condemning people because they practice a religion, and condemning the actions they take, whether motivated by their religion or not.

They get cut by Belichick.

That's interesting. At first blush, I also would have expected increased efficiency over the season. FO, for example, doesn't begin including adjustments for opponent-quality until Week 4 or 5. However, since they're picking against lines set by oddsmakers who are also capable of taking prior games into account, it…

The injury argument holds water if sites like FO are using their DVOA stats, which calculate team performance based on play in previous contests. However, they also have stats like DYAR, which assess player performance above replacement. You'd think they would be able to include such in their models to account for…

For that matter, why Orlando "City" Lions? Were they going to be confused with some other Orlando USL team? Are they going to rename the NBA team the Orlando City Magic? SO. FUCKING. STUPID.

TIL what a hypnocloid is. Hypnocloids where k=4 should be renamed Yinzercloids.

Does this discard ties, or count them as non-covers?

NYC pizza over Buffalo chicken wings? That's unforgivable.

Well, not Microsoft, but yeah.

Has anyone checked whether this is still the largest spread once adjusted for average points scored in a season?

I wouldn't have thought of this, but it makes sense. It's similar to encouraging people not to use "gay" as a pejorative. Seems like you are just highlighting the issue non-critically (not "bitching about" it), so I'm not sure why the outrage.

You spelled rape wrong.
