Exactly. If the Suns only had one team interested in Dragic, then this would have hurt their chances at getting much value from trading him. If there are two or more teams with interest, however, the Suns just sit back and take the best offer. This news is going to drive a number of teams to get their ducks in a

It's okay. No one is perfect.

This particular discussion is centered around Barkley's comment that "good" teams don't give up 118 points and whether or not it is valid coming from a guy that played on a Finals team, from 20 years ago, that gave up 118+ on multiple occasions. It has nothing to do with whether or not his criticism of analytics

Pace adjusted statistics? Probably not. Difference in eras? Probably so. I do, however, think that making a comment in February of 2015 about good teams not giving up 118 points is far more relevant to a team playing this season than it is to a team playing over 20 years ago.

While you were looking up those numbers, did you happen to also see that, in the 92-93 season, teams were scoring an average of 105.3 points per game compared to 100.0 points per game this season?

Just replace "Stewart" with "Franken" throughout your comment. Then think about it. Then look at the list of sitting U.S. Senators. Then throw whatever device you are using to post here and throw it in a lake.

Under, for sure. The Daily Show fan base is big by cable TV standards, but small by voter turnout standards. And he wouldn't even get the vote from everyone that watches the show, not that he couldn't pick up some votes from non-viewers.

So tortilla chips should win because they are basically an edible (though worse tasting) spoon?

Neil deGrasse Tyson seems reasonably sure that 160* change is necessary. You'll have to pardon me if I take his word for it ;).

This was all already addressed. The act of compressing the air certainly causes an increase in temperature, but an insignificant amount for the purposes of this discussion. And the cooling of the air, thus leading to a drop in air pressure in the footballs is exactly what NdGT is talking about. His point, though,

I already mentioned that ;).

On a large compressor, sure. On the scale of what is used to air up a football? I don't think so. I realize you are just playing Devil's Advocate, but, really, depending on how detailed we want to get, we could absolutely shred apart the idea that the air going in to the ball is the same temp as the outside air.

Any regular compressor or air pump just takes air from right outside of the ball and puts it inside of the ball. If you want to say that the mechanism or motor raises the temp a degree or two, I won't argue, but for all intents and purposes, the air inside of the balls is the same temperature as the air outside of

None have died yet. *shrug*

Tortilla chips are nothing without guacamole, salsa, or some other dip to carry them. They are a conduit for getting something that actually tastes good in to your mouth.

So, if the Pats requested the balls be inflated to 12.5 and the Colts requested that they were inflated to 13.5, how does any of what you said refute Revolvoution's post?
