Serious question: is there anything that could possibly happen to you where you would get so excited you'd act like that? I could win a billion dollars and a three-way with Megan Fox and Kate Upton in the lottery and I'd be like "okay, that's cool". And this guy nearly explodes over a.... goal?

Top 10 teams using the season delta method: 9-1 ATS.....

it is from an artist's series called Understanding Joshua. The whole thing is weird for the sake of weird - I could have used any of them with Snyder really, because he is an absurd individual.

I love the way he pays homage to the great history of the Vikings franchise by wearing the number of one of their greatest players ever, who is going to the Hall of Fame as a Viking and a Viking only, Brett Favre.

If Vegas used the exact same approach to spreads, then you would expect every prediction engine to be about 50% because subtle variations would deviate left and right of the line evenly. Something clearly changed to make the numbers break consistently. The numbers of more run-focused teams are interesting, meaning…

Those seven teams you mentioned? In 2012, two went 9-7 ATS, three went 11-5, one 10-5-1, and one 9-6-1. And this year only SF and Seattle are good ATS at 5-2 (Indy is 4-3) and they are run-first teams. So maybe, in fact, you're seeing a reverse effect than I described, where NFL coaches have shifted so far to the pass…

Understood, but maybe the NFL has caught up to the statistical models and implemented a new reality.

Question:

I'm 43 and I've taken about 1000 fewer hits to the head than Favre and I have trouble remembering all that stuff too...

For one, a Marine who had served 20 years would likely have earned more awards than a Good Conduct ribbon and two marksmanship badges, as Clark wore on his jacket last night

That guy must really hate the Eagles

that, too, sounds like a date with Roethlisberger

no, you can never be racist enough

Sounds like a date with Ben Roethlisberger.

Belichick: "The Jets cheated too!"

Well, I was trying not to generalize an entire race of people, because you know, that would be a wee hypocritical and would cause me to need to dismount from this quite lofty horse upon which I am currently affixed...

In case you don't know, this is post civil-war level racial smack. That's digging deep to be hateful @ajc, and it proves that some of the ignorant bastards in the south are, indeed, still fighting the civil war.
